High resistance to moisture, drought and pests.
This South African sativa with a vegetative stage of 13 to 15 weeks shows great resistance to extreme climates of heat that exceed 40°C, maintaining vigorous foliage without traces of mistreatment due to high temperatures and drafts, it is also resistant to climates with rainy conditions, pests and diseases, it is a beautiful sativa with enormous qualities worthy of being collected.
The size of Calvinia is medium, reaching in the vegetative stage a height that goes between 120 to 180 cm with an abundant light green foliage of thin, very serrated leaves of 8 leaflets, elongated petioles, medium internodal spaces with thick hollowed stems that, when rubbed, smell of citrus, fruits and a disgusting sweetness.
