Tora Bora

Tora Bora: Middle Eastern Roots

Tora Bora seeds grow into tall, healthy plants with leaves and buds that contrast in colors. The leaves are a deep dark green, while the buds are bright and orange with hints of green. The leaves are such a dark green that they almost look black under certain light. When bright lights shine on the plant, you can see white trichomes glistening all over the plant. These white crystals give this strain its pungently delicious smell while making the finished nuggets super sticky. Speaking of the harvested nuggets, they are long but not too dense. They feature green and amber and are perfect for rolling joints and blunts or simply just packing a hefty bowl. Tora Bora has more trophies than Tom Brady. The strain has won the Denver Cannabis Cup for Best CBD Flower as well as second place at the World Cannabis Cup in 2015. With nearly a dozen other major and local award wins, this strain’s resume speaks for itself.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

The Tora Bora strain is easy to grow and a great choice for beginners. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors. However, this strain does best in warm climates, and although it can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, it is important to try to avoid freezing temperatures. This is because freezing temperatures could harm the plants. When growing cannabis seeds indoors, you will need to use high-quality grow lights. This is essential for strong, healthy plants. Make sure that the grow lights are positioned at the right height to avoid burning the plants and ruining your crop.

 Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Tora Bora cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. The light cycle for this strain is 18-24 hours of light per day during the vegetative stage. However, once they have entered the flowering stage, you can switch to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.
•  Moisture control: For humidity, it is best to keep it between 40-50%. However, as the plants begin moving into the flowering stage, you can lower the humidity to 30-40% to help prevent mold and mildew.
• Training Techniques: Topping and Low-stress training are ideal for this cannabis strain. These methods will help adjust the canopy to allow light and air to reach every level of the plant, promoting healthy growth from top to bottom.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Tora Bora strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days. If you are growing outdoors, you can expect harvest around mid-October. This, of course, depends on your climate.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 500 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 600 grams per plant. For an easy-to-grow strain with potent THC content, these yields are absolutely massive.

Dominant Terpenes in Tora Bora: Earthy Pine

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

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – A key terpene in cannabis known for its woody and earthy aroma.
• Caryophyllene: Secondary Terpene – Found in spices and cannabis, this terpene has a peppery and spicy taste and smell.
• Humulene: Spicy – Typically found in the hops you make beer with, this terpene gives cannabis its spicy, woody, and earthy flavor.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Tora Bora:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Tora Bora seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That happy, sleepy, and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying the Tora Bora 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 26%, the THC in this 100% Indica strain is responsible for the happy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Tora Bora cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Tora Bora are less than 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Tora Bora strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
