The terpene profile is suggested to include Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Pinene, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor notes of citrus, pine, and spice.
Growing
The ruderalis genetics contribute to Short Nepali's shorter stature and faster flowering time, making it an attractive option for growers with limited space or those seeking quicker harvests. Its resilience, inherited from Himalayan landraces, suggests adaptability to various growing conditions. The compact size and dense bud structure are advantageous for indoor cultivation, ensuring good light penetration.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Freedom of Seeds, Short Nepali is a hybrid created by crossing plants with ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics. This intentional breeding aimed to combine the hardiness and compact nature of ancient landrace varieties, particularly those adapted to the Himalayan climate, with the desirable traits of modern hybrids. The development also reflects an effort to preserve endangered cannabis germplasm.
