Hola Dubi,
como estas?
I' ve heard great things about Guatemala strains though they're not very known here in Europe. A dear friend of mine who 2 years ago traveled for a long time through Central America told me that Guatemala weed was more potent than a lot of more famous mexican strains he smoked.
Does Tikal is a hybrid made with all-guatemaltecas or did you use some other different sativas to hybridize it ?

Muchas gracias

Good day Syd!

Guatemala have some similarities with mexican varieties. It grows very relative compact and quite bushy with thin stems.The aromas are woody and sweet, and the high is very clear and funny. The flowering time is around 12-13 weeks, not too long being of tropical origin.

We crossed the guatemela sativa with a kush/ haze line to produce Tikal hybrid. Tikal is a extremely vigorous sativa with a strong branching pattern. Tikal has thick stems and a strong robust structure thanks to the kush indica influence. The haze/kush improves the taste and aromas of pure guatemala adding more terpene density and complexity. Haze adds her elegant spicy and incense details. The fowering time is also quite short for a sativa dominant plant ( about 10-12 weeks) finishing at mid October in temperate climates of the north hemisphere.

Some Tikal pics. She was grown organically at 37ºN.

I've read somewhere (probably OG or CW) that Guatemala's strains come from the bordering Yucatan

Syd,

here are some pics of the pure guatemala mother.

She was planted in soil in April/May (can't remember correctly).

And here's a Tikal female showing the bushy structure of the guatemala sativa.

She was planted in April.She's growing very vigorous!

Another Tikal female with guatemala structure.

She was grown in pot since April, then sexed and planted in soil in June. She's now growing vigorously in July.

All the Tikal plants im showing have never recived any external feeding.

Only soil, water and sun!

A different Tikal female with taller and lankier appearance than her sisters. More related to the kush/haze structure.

The last pic is a curious leaf detail with bad eggs.

Those look incredible!
