After years of development, Aficionado French Connection is proud to present, exclusively from our Feminized Menu 2020, our latest strain: La Cantava. A symbol of top-shelf USA and EU genetics, La Cantava is the result of crossing an elite European Afghan cut from the 1990s with our Sangria #707, obtained from the hybridization of Forbidden Fruit and Magnum Opus F11 (distinct from our second Sangria genetic, Forbidden Fruit in the Pine). This indica-dominant hybrid was specifically developed for hash-making enthusiasts and is renowned for its medicinal qualities. It is highly recommended for alleviating body pain and providing relief for patients suffering from chronic illnesses. La Cantava produces a relaxing, sedative high that is best enjoyed in the evening. The Afghan elite cut, used as the mother plant, has been preserved in the EU since the 1990s. This exceptional cut is known for its short flowering time of 40-45 days, abundant yields, and strong pest resistance. The Afghan nuggets emit an earthy, woody aroma with subtle hints of hash and a touch of sweetness. As the reversed parent, Sangria #707 was selected for its high yield and its rich, complex organoleptic profile. Its aroma dominates the grow space with pungent notes of red fruits and a pronounced berry aftertaste, creating the backbone of La Cantava's fragrance. La Cantava's nose is a symphony of crushed red fruits, citrus, and berry, with delicate hints of lavender and burning wood. On the palate, it reveals bold fruity notes with a well-rounded body, filling the mouth with layers of lemon and perfumed berry. These flavors are beautifully balanced by a mature, refined earthy finish. The effects offer a clear mental high followed by a pronounced indica body relaxation. Medium to tall in height, La Cantava showcases a compact indica structure with large, dense nugs. Due to the compactness of the flowers, it is important to monitor humidity levels carefully towards the end of the bloom phase. Highly resistant to pests, the flowers are rich in trichomes, terpenes, and cannabinoids, making this strain ideal for both flower and extraction production. La Cantava's fast finishing time makes it an excellent choice for growers seeking a quick cycle. While it thrives indoors, it also performs well outdoors in dry climates. Indoors, full maturation is achieved after 8 weeks of flowering, while outdoors, the plants will reach peak cannabinoid levels and be ready for harvest by the end of September, just before the rainy season.
