Omer by Tikum Olam
Omer is an indica-dominant strain developed by Tikum Olam, recognized for its significant indica genetics and therapeutic potential. Emerging in the early 2010s, it has been refined through rigorous breeding for consistency and medicinal applications.
Appearance
Omer buds are dense and resinous, characteristic of its indica heritage. They typically display a deep green coloration, often accented with orange and purple trichomes. A frosty, crystalline sheen covers the buds due to high resin production, with vibrant pistils adding visual contrast. The plant's morphology aligns with indica architecture, featuring shorter internodal spacing and a bushier structure supporting heavy flower clusters.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Omer is a complex blend of earthy notes with subtle hints of spice and floral nuances, often described as a mix of musky earth and citrus. Scientific analysis points to myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene as key contributors to its scent profile. The flavor mirrors the aroma, balancing earthy and herbal tones with hints of spice and sweetness, unfolding with woodsy notes upon inhalation.
Flavor analyses suggest limonene and humulene contribute to its citrus and earthy undertones. The taste is reported to be consistent and layered, with potential biochemical changes as the strain matures, offering evolving flavor experiences.
Effects
Omer is associated with predominantly indica effects, leaning towards relaxation and calmness. Users report a balanced psychoactive experience that promotes a sense of well-being without being overly sedating.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Quantitative analyses show myrcene as the dominant terpene in Omer, with significant levels of caryophyllene and pinene also detected, contributing to its aroma and potential therapeutic benefits. These terpenes are believed to interact with cannabinoids to enhance medical outcomes.
The strain typically contains 18% to 24% THC, with trace amounts of CBD. This cannabinoid profile contributes to its relaxing and sedative qualities, offering a balanced experience with potential analgesic properties. Minor traces of other cannabinoids like CBG may also be present.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Tikum Olam, Omer emerged in the early 2010s and is characterized by strong indica dominance, with over 75% indica genetics confirmed by analytical data. The breeding process focused on refining traits for yield, potency, and medicinal efficacy, undergoing multiple generations of selective breeding for stabilization.
Academic references and research, including work from institutions like the Czech Agricultural University, underpin its status. Tikum Olam's meticulous stabilization process has resulted in predictable growth patterns and reliable outcomes, with over 85% of offspring manifesting the intended phenotype.
Growing Information
