Highway 66 by Paradise Seeds

Terpinolene leads the way here, and that one terpene explains why the dried flower smells of perfume, lemon and green apple rather than gas.

Highway 66 is the breeder's upgrade on L.A. Amnesia, the sativa Paradise Seeds released in 2017 in its Tommy Chong's Collection. Luc Krol crossed it with a selected Gelato 33 phenotype to add potency and depth, blending US and Dutch lines into a 75% sativa built for long, sunny seasons.

During flower the room carries only a discreet fruity haze. Once dry, the buds open up: hazy on the inhale, then floral perfume, lemon sweetness and a hint of apple, with limonene, trans-ocimene and humulene backing the terpinolene.

The breeder describes a quick onset and a calm, happy euphoria that lasts, easy enough for all-day use and suited to creative work or exercise. Medical users report it mainly for lifting mood.

This one stretches, so indoors the breeder advises keeping veg to two or three weeks and shaping the plant before flower. Expect over 120 cm inside, and more than 2 m outdoors in warm, sunny regions, where it shrugs off heat and humidity. Strip a few large fan leaves mid-flower for airflow in damp spells. Flowering takes 65 to 70 days, with outdoor harvest around mid-October in the northern hemisphere.

Paradise Seeds has been Luc Krol's Amsterdam seed company since 1994, and its work with Tommy Chong produced this strain's mother.
