Genetics & Origins

A true East Asian hybrid, Orient Express combines the best of both worlds—the electric cerebral qualities of Vietnam Black sativa and the compact, resinous nature of China Yunnan indica.

This semi-stabilized F3 hybrid offers a wide range of phenotypes, with most plants showcasing sativa-dominant characteristics, yet maintaining the manageable size and fast flowering of the indica influence.

The unique genetic makeup makes it a valuable strain for breeding and collection.
