Kaya
Also known as: Kaya Girl, Kaya Gold
Kaya Strain Overview
Kaya (also known as Kaya Girl or Kaya Gold) is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (55% indica/45% sativa) created through crossing Mexican Sativa with the rare Top 44 strain. This strain was originally developed by Nirvana Seeds as a mellow sativa option for novice indoor growers and outdoor growers in rough climates, utilizing a hardy and stable Mexican sativa known for its agreeable nature and traditional potency levels. The strain was created using feminized breeding techniques, where breeders forced a female Top 44 plant to develop male flowers using gibberellic acid, resulting in feminized seeds that produce only female plants.
Kaya produces dense, bright green buds covered in sparse amber pistils and coated in chunky, clear trichomes that glisten under light. The buds exhibit a lumpy structure with long thin clear hairs and an oversized coating of crystal trichomes. The strain features a distinctive aroma profile that is skunky and sweet with spicy and piney overtones when broken apart or ground, offering a classic sweet and spicy skunky herbal flavor with a refreshingly different taste from typical skunk varieties. Kaya represents a return to mellower potencies of traditional cannabis, designed for users who prefer a high that is more like a 'snack' than a 'meal' and is easier to moderate than some modern high-potency strains.
