The Palmar is one of the sativa-dominant hybrids in our collection and one of the few strains in the catalogue with one of the seed bank’s own lines, AK-74, as a parent. At Trikoma Seeds it comes in two versions, feminized and autoflowering, which share their parents but behave differently: one starts flowering when the photoperiod changes, the other flowers by age, and their product pages describe the aroma with different nuances. In this guide we compare them using the data on their product pages, so you can see what changes from one to the other and which one best fits your collection.<\/p>\n

A sativa hybrid with roots at home<\/h2>\n

The reference is the feminized The Palmar<\/a>, an in-house selection whose documented cross brings together AK-74<\/a> from our own catalogue and the classic Power Plant. The result is a 60% sativa, 40% indica genotype: a plant with sativa character but a noticeable indica component, and with a contained cycle within the group of sativa-dominant strains in the collection. Our line comes from our own mother plants, selected and maintained in our seed bank in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

The Palmar Auto<\/a> declares the same parents, AK-74 \u00d7 Power Plant, plus the ruderalis contribution that all the autoflowering strains in the catalogue include. That contribution is what makes it autoflowering: the switch from growth to flowering depends on the plant’s age rather than on a change in photoperiod.<\/p>\n

Feminized The Palmar: the reference of the line<\/h2>\n

This is the version that defines the line and the one with the higher declared THC of the two, 18\u201323%. Its declared indoor flowering of 60 to 65 days is short for a sativa-dominant strain; outdoors, the product page places the harvest in the first week of October in the northern hemisphere and in the first week of April in the southern hemisphere, with 0.5\u20131.5 kg per plant as a reference. Aroma is its most distinctive trait: the product page describes it as markedly aromatic, not just sweet, with hints of fresh fruit and a slightly earthy, spicy, woody base that gives depth to the whole. The product page rates its difficulty as easy, suitable for beginners and experienced growers alike. It is the natural choice for anyone who wants the original The Palmar and its multi-layered profile.<\/p>\n

The Palmar Auto: forest fruits and a large frame without depending on photoperiod<\/h2>\n

The autoflowering version keeps the family’s sweet base, but its product page builds the aroma in three stages: a sweetness that opens, forest fruit notes that give it character and a slightly sour touch that closes and keeps the whole from becoming cloying. In terms of structure it is a medium-to-large plant that can reach about one and a half metres, among the largest autoflowering strains in the range. Like any autoflowering strain, it does not need a change in photoperiod to flower. In return, its declared THC (14\u201319%) sits four points below that of the feminized one, and its reference yield, 675\u2013810 g\/m\u00b2, is calculated with about 20 plants per 600W LED. We compare it with the rest of the autoflowering strains in autoflowering strains: size, THC and aroma of the 12 in the catalogue<\/a>.<\/p>\n
