Its a Nepal Highland x Jamaica '85, a a strong and compact highland sativa with fast flowering and good resistance to cold climates. Its dense and resinous flowers, with a very good calyx-flower ratio, produce first class hash.

The Nepalese female was pollinated with the Jamaican’85 line to increase vigour and yield while maintaining the Nepalese sativa expression.

Medium size. Perfect for indoors or outdoors terrace grows. Seductive candied aroma. Sweet dense flavour that expands stimulating several areas of the palate.

An intense high. Clean, happy and long lasting effect.
Ideal for warm and cold climates.

50 days under 12/12. I have two plants and I just snapped a couple of quick photos. Unbelievable plants. The current pics don't do either of the plants justice...I'll try to get some more. In the meantime, I have started her final flush today - cutting her back to 1/2 nutes. Next feed, I'll cut them back further.

Here's one plant - her buds were HUGE by 30 days. Since then, she's been ripening. Her colors now look like a pineapple. I'm going away for ten days on Monday - I imagine I'll be taking her down when I come back (at about 65 days). Amazing plant!



Here's a bud shot from the other plant.



This second plant is a single column. Her topmost bud is rock-hard but very sparse. Looking down the main stem, however, there are very solid, glistening buds all the way down. The buds seem to be much smaller but incredibly tasty. These are two very different phenos. I can't wait to try them both out.

Hope you enjoy!

Nice to hear things are going well. Hope they smoke as you expected, they have a nice yield in the pics, not matter which of the 2 main phenos showed to you. One of the pics show a great yielder indeed
Thx for sharing Mayan
stay well
best smokes

Hola, kaiki!!

I took both NepJams down at 65 days. I realize that may be a touch early but they both looked ready and mold is a consideration - these did not appear to be bothered, however. Here's some pics I took during trim.



What a great strain!! Beautiful plants. Shellaced with resin. I find it interesting to find that both of them took on a kinda purplish color. The temps were anything but cold so I figure it was either genetics or some strange nutritional deficiency - but they looked healthy enough otherwise.

I haven't tried them yet - gonna let 'em dry a bit. I will report back at that time.

Lots used to finish witht those purples at then end.
Lovely results Mayan, many thx for updating here. Hope they dry and cure properly and you enjoy them well. Nice smoke there
best wishes

Hi Charlie. Is Nepal Jam an F1 hybrid?

Non, is not, may be an F4, not exactly, there is a backcross in the middle as well, lets say 4-5 steps and/or selections to present stage. Jamaica is taller plant so you must select against monster size dominance and other traits to fix them well and slowly model its whole structure. Nepalese also showed different phenos at first generations and I chose only smaller plants there. Takes little time to stabilize certain traits in this type of hybrids.

Hi CHarlie !

I've read somewhere around that when selfcrossed the Nepaljam has tendencies to hermie.

Is that a known issue or is it due to some errors from that particular grow/cross ?

Thanks !
