Cafe Racer

Café Racer: Like a Strong Cup of Coffee

Café Racer seeds will end up growing into a medium sized plant that is lanky and dark green. Upon closer inspection you will see small white tricombs covering the buds in what looks like granulated sugar. When this plant grows to harvest you will wind up with small but dense nuggets that turn from super dark green to light green when dried. The orange hairs within the bud will provide the strain with a depth of flavor and aroma folks really seem to enjoy. Café Racer is a relatively new strain to the cannabis scene so it hasn’t taken home any major awards, however, its parent strains both have a mantle covered in gold. Often times the lineage of a newer strain will be recognized with awards wins while the child strain is beginning to grow in popularity. Growing this seed to completion requires time, effort and most importantly patience. Inexperienced growers will need to follow directions closely to produce the desired yields come harvest time.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Café Racer can be grown both indoors or outdoors successfully. Outdoor grows need a steady climate without any environmental changes to really get this strain going. Outside growing requires a temperate climate with warm and sunny days and low humidity and a climate with plenty of rainfall. Keep in mind the width of Café Racer plants when you are allotting space for them to grow. Café Racer plants grow more laterally than they do vertically, especially the root system underneath to soil so give these plants ample room to really stretch out for the best possible outcomes.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Café Racer plants grow better indoors than they do outdoors. Outdoor grows require specific settings and a warm dry climate to really hit their stride. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 72-85 degrees fahrenheit during the day and 62-75 degrees at night. Starting your grow with an 18-24 hour light schedule will assist in getting the plants to the flowering stage where a steady 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness will complete the grow.
•  Moisture control: Keep humidity levels between 60-70% during the vegetative stage. Lowering the humidity down to 40-50% during the flowering stage will help keep mold off of your buds.
• Training Techniques: Low-stress training and topping are the perfect techniques for Café Racer as both techniques shape your plants correctly. Both techniques will make sure that quality light and air flow hit every level of your plants giving them the best shot at hitting those massive yields.

• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter and outdoor grows typically produce up to 600 grams per plant. Considering the length of grow and difficulty, these yields are pretty great.

Dominant Terpenes in Café Racer: Earthy and Spicy

The Café Racer terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells, tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is pinene, while caryophyllene and myrcene are the secondary terpenes.

• Pinene: Most Dominant– Pinene is found mostly in pine needles and gives cannabis its earthy flavor and aroma
• Caryophyllene: Spicy and Peppery – Found in hops, cloves and black pepper. Gives weed its spicy aroma and flavor.
• Myrcene: Relaxing and Sedative Effects on User –

Dominant Cannabinoids in Café Racer:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Café Racer seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That euphoric, happy and creative feeling you get when using the Café Racer strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at around 25%, the THC in the Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the happy and euphoric feeling you get when using Café Racer.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Café Racer are less than 1% the cannabinoid is still present. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user.
