Yumboldt
Yumboldt
Also known as: Yumbolt
Overview
Yumboldt is an extremely rare pure indica strain hailing from Humboldt County in California, originating from two landrace strains – Afghani and Himalayan, somehow finding its way to California, and more specifically, the county of Humboldt. From the USA, it took almost three decades before it made its way to the Dutch scene, winning the 2001 High Times Cannabis Cup. This dank bud has unknown genetics due to breeder secrecy and boasts a THC level ranging from 12-24% on average, depending on the breeder. The strain has an Indica-dominant genetic profile, usually falling around an 80% Indica to 20% Sativa ratio. This bud has small dense neon green buds that are completely covered in orange hairs and a fine layer of trichomes, with sparse olive green leaves and undertones and are dripping with sweet sticky resin. Yumboldt has an interesting pungent sweet and spicy aroma accompanied by a note of pine and flowers, with most people finding its scent reminiscent of being in a tropical forest, and instead of having a dank and earthy taste, its flavors have a more pronounced sweet and spicy note blended with pine.

Growing Information
Indoor cultivation using hydroponics is considered the best method, with a flowering time of 9 or 10 weeks and yields of up to 14 ounces per square meter indoors, while outdoor plants can produce at least 16 ounces of buds per plant. Outdoor, Yumboldt grows up to 5 feet tall and thrives best when there is plenty of sunshine, performing well in climates similar to California. Yumboldt is generally considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, with a flowering time of around 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity, performing best in environments where temperature stays between 70-80°F (21-27°C), with indoor humidity around 40-50% during vegetative stage, reducing to 30-40% during flowering.
