Chicha

Chicha is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 17-23% on average, with 0.4% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Chicha high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. Neither side ever overpowers the other, which is exactly why well-bred hybrids like this one earn permanent shelf space. Because of these effects, Chicha is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Chicha has a distinctive coffee and chocolate flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a chocolate finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has dense grape-shaped olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, thin orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Chicha offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed.
