Perretxiko
Also known as: Perretxiko OG
Perretxiko Strain Overview
Perretxiko is a relatively rare cannabis strain that originated in the Basque Country of northern Spain. The name 'Perretxiko' comes from the Basque word for wild mushrooms, specifically referring to the prized St. George's mushroom (Calocybe gambosa) that grows abundantly in the region during spring. This naming reflects both the strain's regional origins and its earthy, mushroom-like aroma profile. The strain was developed by local breeders who sought to create a cultivar that could thrive in the humid, temperate climate of the Basque coastal areas while offering unique sensory characteristics.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, conical buds that are covered in a generous layer of trichomes. The flowers often display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the bud structure. The leaves tend to be broad with serrated edges, characteristic of its indica-dominant heritage. Perretxiko is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, fungal notes with subtle undertones of pine and citrus.
While not widely distributed internationally, Perretxiko has gained a cult following among connoisseurs in Spain and neighboring regions. Its rarity outside its native area makes it a sought-after strain for collectors and enthusiasts interested in regional cannabis genetics. The strain's development represents an interesting example of how local environmental conditions and cultural preferences can influence cannabis breeding practices, resulting in cultivars with distinctive regional characteristics.

Perretxiko Strain Growing Information
Perretxiko is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for experienced growers. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F). It can be grown both indoors and outdoors but thrives particularly well in greenhouse environments that mimic its native Basque coastal conditions. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm (47-63 inches) and benefit from regular pruning and training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include monitoring humidity levels to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in overly humid conditions.
