Hokkaido Japan Reg.

Description from Ace Seeds

Hokkaido Japan Regular

This rare hemp landrace originates from Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan. ACE Seeds classifies it as a second preservation generation (P2), with a rare and uniform genetic background that sets it apart from modern European or Russian industrial hemp varieties.

Hokkaido Japan exhibits thick stems, large dark leaves, medium to long internodal spacing, and sturdy secondary branching. Its early growth is broad-leafed and compact, but as it flowers, the structure becomes more elongated and sativa-like. The semi-autoflowering nature allows for an earlier outdoor flowering period.

Flowering typically takes six to eight weeks, with an outdoor harvest window in August to September. The strain displays strong resistance to powdery mildew, botrytis, and cold, along with average-high resistance to white fly and average resistance to spider mites and heat. This makes it well-suited for preservation and breeding in medium and northern latitudes.

The population includes three distinct cannabinoid groups, with THC levels ranging from 0.1 to 5.5%, CBD from 2 to 12%, and CBG from 0.05 to 3%. This genetic diversity offers potential for further selection and stabilization of specific chemotypes.

Its aroma is generally rough and minimally refined, with notes of geranium, wild mountain spices, and alpha-pinene. Some plants in the cannabinoid-rich group may develop more complex and pronounced aromatic profiles. The key value of this line lies in its rare origin, early maturation, resilience, and chemical diversity.
