Central American
About Central American
Central American can be a catch-all term to describe landrace strains endemic to the isthmus connecting North and South America. Thanks to the tropical climate of the region, tall, branchy cannabis plants can thrive in Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. The varieties that are cultivated here tend to be sativa in origin and have nicknames that vary by region, including Creepy, Rasta, Moña, Pito, Puro, Monte, and Mota. Central American sativas confer a buzzy, head-focused high and a robust aroma.
Flowers of Central American strains are generally small to medium in size and have an elongated, spindly formation characteristic of other pure sativas. The flowers have a loose and open structure, with thin leaves that twist apart in different directions. The flowers themselves are a dark shade of green and are shot through with curly orange pistils and covered in glassy white trichomes.
