Cafe Racer
Also known as: Café Racer
Overview
Cafe Racer is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) created through crossing the acclaimed Granddaddy Purple and beloved Girl Scout Cookies strains. This strain was developed by Blimburn Seeds, a Barcelona-based cannabis seed company founded in 2002, known for bringing US genetics to Europe by sourcing clones directly from America and producing seeds in Europe. The strain produces dense, resin-coated buds that shimmer with trichomes, featuring striking orange pistils weaving through oversized spade-shaped bright neon green nugs with golden undertones against deep green leaves. With a potent THC concentration ranging from 25-27% and minimal CBD content of 0.30%, Cafe Racer delivers exceptionally strong effects that place it among the more potent cannabis strains available. This sophisticated strain combines American sativa genetics with precise breeding techniques, resulting in a balanced hybrid that delivers fast-acting cerebral effects with enhanced focus and creativity balanced with physical comfort.

Growing Information
Cafe Racer has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors with some sources reporting up to 12 weeks for complete maturity. Indoor yields range from 350-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 400-800 grams per plant when harvested by mid-October. The strain thrives in warm, sunny conditions with temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and humidity levels of 60-70%. For optimal cultivation, growers should use ScrOG method, LST (Low-Stress Training), and topping techniques to manage its vigorous sativa growth and ensure even light penetration. This strain is suitable for both beginners and experienced growers, though it requires patience during the longer flowering period and benefits from careful attention to environmental conditions.
