Lesotho is a very mountainous country , also having the distinction of the highest country in the world with no part less than a 1000m high, this is why it’s called “The Kingdom of the sky” and “Roof of Africa”.
The landrace that grows here is called “Matekoane” and is very hardy and cold tolerant
These seeds are from a valley with its own microclimate near the Maluti Mountians.
They have a flowering on average of 14 to 16 weeks with some 18+ weekers.
The terpenes are a range of mango, peaches and spices.
The high is very clear and cerebral , with a happy and meditative vibe to it.
The plants have long nodes, very branchy. The height varies between a minimum of 1.5 metres to 3 metres depending on the environment.
Something very characteristic of Leshoto is that it is a sativa with a relatively short flowering cycle. It is one of the most interesting qualities for breeding projects of high thc plants, because it is difficult to find fast plants with high percentages of thc
*** COMMENT FROM A GROWER ***
Smell: Fresh chopped parsley, fresh chopped parsnips – super fresh and clean herbs with a bit of sage.
Effects: Very uplifting, clean, & clear. Most would consider this a ‘daytime’ happy smoke with clear effects.
Bud structure: Unique texture, these have a waxy pine needle texture – they almost feel like plastic!
Love the Lesotho – highly recommend this plant for people who enjoy a clear uplifting effect with a nice fresh sage & parsley taste 🙂
