About this release
Route Serotonin… Highway 66 is a euphoric ride with finely tuned US and Dutch genetics behind the wheel. It’s a potent performer, with THC levels of 25%+, offering much for the palate of connoisseurs seeking new adventures in aroma and flavor.
In the Paradise Seeds breeding tradition in recent years, Highway 66 is an upgrade on an L.A. Amnesia, a sativa which has been wowing growers since it was released as part of the Tommy Chong’s Collection a few years ago. The grower can expect to benefit from production stability with enhanced terpene and cannabinoid profiles.
Lineage
Highway 66 is a hybrid cannabis cross using a selected L.A. Amnesia and Gelato 33. The mother is the genetic provider of one of Paradise’s most popular sativas in recent years: L.A. Amnesia, which has been consistently popular with growers since it was released as part of the Tommy Chong’s Collection in 2017.
The other parent is a selected Gelato 33 pheno, chosen to provide extra layers of potency and depth of flavor.
Aromas and Flavours
Highway 66 is characterized by an exceptionally high Terpinolene profile alongside Limonene, Trans-ocimene and Alpha Humulene. In the grow space the smell is a fruity haze, discreetly pleasant and not the kind of stinker to alert the building of its presence!
Once dried, buds emanate a pleasant floral fruitiness. It has an underlying Hazey taste on the inhale with smooth and delicate top notes of floral perfume and a lemony sweetness that hangs around on the tongue and a hint of apples, attributed to the high percentage of Terpinolene.
Cultivation
Difficulty level: Easy
Indoors: The Highway 66 cannabis strain exhibits a typical hybrid growth pattern. While it is an easy management plant, its sativa genes mean that it needs a bit of careful handling if operating in a small grow space.
