Magma by Sementes Afortunadas
Unknown
Magma is a predominantly indica cultivar developed by Sementes Afortunadas, bred for robust cultivation and a relaxing, body-centered experience. It is characterized by its compact growth, dense flowers, and a bright citrus aroma that belies its sedative qualities.
Appearance
Magma exhibits a compact and stocky plant structure, well-suited for indoor cultivation and spaces with limited height. It features short internodes, promoting dense bud development along the main stem and upper branches. The leaves are typically broad and dark green, while the flowers form dense clusters with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Resin production is notable, with trichomes becoming abundant as flowering progresses, making it suitable for concentrate production.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Magma is prominently citrus-forward, often presenting as sweet lemon zest with undertones of mandarin. Underlying these bright top notes are warmer scents of earth and resin. Upon grinding, the bouquet intensifies, evoking lemonade with a subtle pine edge. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering sweet lemon peel and hints of orange blossom, followed by herbal and spicy notes on the palate. The finish is smooth and sweet.
Effects
Magma is recognized for its heavy, body-centered relaxation, aligning with its indica heritage. The effects are described as a slow-building, warming influence that is conducive to evening use. While providing significant physical sedation, the strain maintains a clean, bright aroma profile. Users may experience a sense of calm and tranquility.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific cannabinoid percentages vary, Magma typically falls within a THC range of 16-22% with less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile is often led by limonene and myrcene, contributing to the strain's citrus and earthy notes, respectively. Beta-caryophyllene and humulene are also frequently present, adding peppery and woody nuances to the aroma and flavor.
Growing
Sementes Afortunadas developed Magma for growers seeking compact plants with dependable yields. It is noted for its ease of cultivation and modest nutrient requirements. The strain prefers environments with moderate humidity and exhibits strong lateral branching. Its morphology is consistent with indica genetics, including short internodes and broad leaflets, making it manageable in various growing setups.
Origins & Lineage
Sementes Afortunadas has not publicly disclosed the specific parental lineage for Magma. However, its indica dominance, compact structure, and citrus-forward aroma suggest a genetic background that may include broad-leaf hash plant varieties, potentially crossed with citrus-oriented genetics like those expressing limonene. The breeder aimed to combine classic indica relaxation with a modernized, cleaner citrus aroma.
