Terpenes & Cannabinoids

Origins & Lineage
Developed by ACE Seeds, China Yunnan is rooted in the rich cannabis culture of Asia, specifically paying homage to the Yunnan province in China.

This meticulous process aimed to revive and celebrate classic landrace genetics.
Cultivation
The strain's sturdy yet flexible plant structure makes it well-suited for both indoor cultivation under controlled conditions and outdoor growth in milder climates. Its indica dominance contributes to dense bud formation and a robust resinous output, appreciated by growers for its aesthetic appeal and consistent performance.
