El Alquimista Strain Overview
El Alquimista is a feminized photoperiod cannabis strain developed by Samsara Seeds, created through crossing two legendary classics: Northern Lights and AK-47. With a genetic composition of 70% indica and 30% sativa, this strain has earned recognition in the cannabis community, winning 2nd place at the Spannabis Cannabis Champions Cup 2013 in the outdoor category. The name "El Alquimista" translates to "The Alchemist" in Spanish, and the strain truly honors this name, being magical in every aspect of its smell, taste, and appearance.
El Alquimista produces large, resinous foxtail buds with bright neon green coloration and yellow-orange hairs, covered in a coating of tiny frosty white crystal trichomes. The strain is known for being very easy to grow, with excellent resistance to pests and mold due to its Afghan genetics from the Northern Lights lineage. This indica-dominant strain is characterized by its sweet narcotic effects, high THC content, and rapid flowering time. The variety produces large foxtail buds with a very strong and slightly sugary aroma that won't go unnoticed, making it a favorite among cultivators for both its growing ease and potent effects.
