What is the Double Zamal strain?

Double Zamal is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Double Zamal is a rare and potent sativa-dominant cannabis strain originating from the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean. The strain is named after the Zamal landrace varieties native to Réunion, which have been cultivated by local farmers for generations. Double Zamal represents a selective breeding effort to enhance the psychoactive properties and terpene profile of traditional Zamal genetics while maintaining their characteristic cerebral effects and tropical aromas. The strain gained attention in the cannabis community through limited releases by specialized breeders who work with landrace preservation projects.

The plant exhibits typical sativa characteristics with tall, slender structure, long internodal spacing, and narrow, serrated leaves that often display a light green coloration. The buds are elongated and airy with moderate density, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils are prominently visible against the pale green background. Double Zamal is known for its extended flowering period, which is characteristic of pure sativa genetics, and requires specific growing conditions to reach its full potential.

Notable features include its complex terpene profile that combines tropical fruit notes with earthy, spicy undertones, and its reputation for producing clear-headed, energetic effects that are less common in modern hybridized strains. The strain remains relatively obscure outside of connoisseur circles and landrace enthusiasts due to its challenging cultivation requirements and limited commercial availability. Preservation efforts continue as traditional Zamal varieties face threats from hybridization and changing agricultural practices on Réunion.

How do you grow Double Zamal?

Double Zamal is considered a challenging strain to cultivate, suitable for experienced growers only. The plants require a long flowering period of 12-16 weeks and can reach heights of 2-3 meters outdoors. Indoor cultivation is possible but requires significant vertical space and careful training techniques. The strain prefers warm, tropical conditions with high humidity during vegetative growth but benefits from reduced humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Outdoor cultivation is recommended in climates similar to its native Réunion (USDA zones 10-11). Yield is moderate, with plants producing elongated, airy buds rather than dense colas. Special considerations include providing strong support structures due to the plant's height, implementing strategic defoliation to improve light penetration, and maintaining consistent temperatures above 20°C (68°F). The strain responds well to organic growing methods and requires careful nutrient management as it is sensitive to overfeeding.
