Ethiopia (North)
Also known as: Ethiopian North, Ethiopian Landrace North
Ethiopia (North) Strain Overview
Ethiopia (North) is a pure landrace sativa cannabis strain collected by The Landrace Team from the Amhara region of northern Ethiopia at elevations between 2,500-2,800 meters above sea level. This ancient African landrace represents one of the most authentic and unaltered cannabis genetics on the planet, having evolved naturally over centuries in the Ethiopian highlands. The strain was specifically sourced from local farmers during an October/November 2019 expedition and has never been crossed or hybridized, maintaining its genetic purity.
Ethiopian landrace strains are particularly valued for their high THCV content, with recent cannabinoid analyses showing significant levels of 2% THCV, a rare cannabinoid currently being researched for appetite suppression and potential medical applications including Parkinson's disease treatment. The plant exhibits classic African sativa morphology with tall, vigorous growth reaching 2.5-3 meters or more in height, displaying strong branching, flexible stems, and long internodal spacing. It demonstrates exceptional resistance to moisture, mold, wind, and heat, making it well-adapted to challenging growing conditions. The buds develop in an elongated, dreadlock-like formation that local growers call 'dreads' and are often wrapped in paper or foil during traditional curing processes.

Ethiopia (North) Strain Growing Information
Ethiopia (North) is an outdoor-only strain that requires a tropical or subtropical climate for proper maturation, similar to Mediterranean coastal conditions. The flowering time is extremely long at 13-14 weeks indoors or harvesting in October/November outdoors (late November for ACE Seeds Ethiopian version). Plants can reach 2.5-3 meters or more in height with proper care and good soil conditions. This strain is highly resistant to mold, pests, moisture, wind, and heat, making it exceptionally hardy. Growing difficulty is intermediate to advanced due to the long flowering time and specific climate requirements. Expected yields are high when properly cultivated with strong light intensity and warm temperatures. Growers recommend soft NPK levels during vegetative growth, increasing PK from the third week of flowering.
