Growing Tips and Our Thoughts

We recommend paying close attention to the vegetative stage when cultivating Highway 66. Limiting this phase to 2-3 weeks will prevent excessive stretching later on, especially in indoor setups.

For those in humid regions, removing larger leaves during mid-flower can significantly improve air circulation, helping to prevent mold and boosting overall plant health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Highway 66 sativa or indica?

Highway 66 is a hybrid strain that beautifully balances the traits of both sativa and indica varieties. Its genetic backbone is formed by crossing L.A. Amnesia, a predominantly sativa strain known for its energetic and uplifting effects, with Gelato 33, which is famous for its indica-like relaxing and euphoric qualities.
