Type and Genetics
Nepal Annapurna Standard seeds by ACE Seeds were obtained by this prestigious bank's R&D team, resulting in a strain which grows on the slopes of Annapurna at an elevation of 2000m above sea level. This is a second-generation landrace with sativa dominance, capable of withstanding even the coldest and mountainous climates due to its native habitat.
Since this is a regular strain, germination can result in either a male (hemp) or female (cannabis) plant.
