What is the Transkei Green strain?
Transkei Green is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and chocolate and citrus flavor profile.
Transkei Green is a 100% pure sativa strain that is a landrace native to the regions of Africa, specifically the legendary Pondoland landrace from the Transkei region, also known as the "Wild Side" because of its remoteness and lack of infrastructure. These seeds are from the foothills of the Transkei/Lesotho border in a very hidden and isolated valley where the locals have been growing underground cannabis crops for decades. The Xhosa people are the local tribe who use the Transkei plant as a very sacred natural ingredient for many traditional cultural purposes, with knowledge inherited orally and passed down through generations.
The buds are characterized by their bright green coloration with orange and red pistils, with brightness enhanced by tiny crystalline trichomes that give them a distinctive "pixy dust" appearance. These plants typically produce long, slender, dense lime green buds that shimmer with crystals and are topped with orange hairs, known locally for their super fruity aroma combining mild citrus and sour grapefruit notes. Transkei is a pure sativa that grows very bushy when topped, with some untopped plants reaching up to 4 meters in height. The strain represents one of the most well-preserved African landrace genetics, maintaining genetic stability and purity through isolation from modern hybrid influence.
