Tikal
Tikal Strain Overview
Tikal is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (75% sativa, 25% indica) developed by ACE Seeds that originates from the jungles of Guatemala. Named after the ancient Mayan archaeological site, this strain represents a sophisticated breeding project that began with a landrace Guatemalan sativa crossed with a Kush/Haze hybrid. The resulting offspring was then backcrossed with the original Guatemalan lineage to create the final Tikal hybrid, preserving the strong Central American landrace characteristics while adding stability and vigor from the hybrid genetics. The strain exhibits remarkable resilience and adaptability, traits inherited from its robust Central American ancestry. Tikal displays a classic sativa structure with tall, thin plants featuring well-developed branching that shoots upward like candles. The plants produce elongated buds with dense trichome production and medium-sized nodes. The strain is known for its distinctive strawberry aroma profile, reminiscent of strawberry chewing gum, complemented by sweet peach, incense, woody, and subtle Haze undertones. This aromatic complexity reflects its diverse genetic heritage and contributes to its reputation as a sophisticated landrace-influenced hybrid.
