Ethiopia Regular by Ace Seeds – 100% Pure African Sativa Landrace with THCV · High Resistance & Uplifting Effect

Meet Ethiopia Regular by Ace Seeds — a 100% pure African sativa landrace bred for resilience, clarity, and a truly uplifting experience, delivering high yields and natural resistance to mold, pests, and heat.

Are you tired of sativas that promise euphoria but leave you anxious, scattered, or stuck indoors with fragile plants? What if your go-to strain could thrive in humid heat, resist mold like a warrior, and still deliver that bright, creative headspace without the crash?

Most tropical sativas demand perfect conditions and repay you with paranoia or wasted harvests. You end up babysitting plants, dodging mildew, or settling for heavy indicas that kill your focus. The result? Frustration, wasted time, and a high that doesn’t match your vibe.

That’s where Ethiopia Regular steps in. This isn’t just another sativa — it’s a stabilized 3rd-generation landrace built to survive and shine. With excellent resistance to botrytis, high heat tolerance, and a flowering time that rewards patience, it delivers a clean, cerebral high rich in THCV (2%) — perfect for daytime clarity, creativity, and a smile that sticks. No heaviness. No anxiety. Just pure, focused energy.

How to grow Ethiopia Regular for maximum yield and flavor

Designed for resilience and reward, this sativa needs space and warmth to shine. Follow these steps to unlock its full potential.

Safe start: Germinate seeds in a moist, dark environment at 22–25 °C. Transplant carefully once the taproot reaches ~1 cm (0.39 in).

• Use a well-aerated seed starter mix to prevent damping-off
• Keep humidity high (60–70%) and light gentle (18/6)
• Consider Root Riot Sponges for faster, stress-free rooting
• Avoid overwatering — let the top layer dry slightly between irrigations

Directed growth: Ethiopia grows tall and fast. Give it room and strong light.

• Switch to flowering after 15 days from seed or 7 days from rooted clone
• Use an 11/13 photoperiod indoors to reduce stretch and boost flowering
• Train gently with LST or SCROG — it responds well to low-stress techniques
• Feed soft NPK in veg, then increase PK from the 3rd week of flowering
• Ensure strong airflow to support its dense branching and prevent mold

Efficient flowering: Patience pays off. This sativa takes its time but rewards with quality.

• Keep RH at 40–50% during flowering to protect against mildew
• Use Bio Protect to strengthen natural defenses and improve resin production
• Monitor trichomes — harvest when mostly milky for a clear, energetic high
• Flush 7–10 days before harvest to improve flavor and smoothness

Harvest and refinement: Dry slowly at 18–22 °C (64.4–71.6 °F) and 50–60% RH for 10–14 days. Cure in jars for 2–4 weeks, burping regularly, to develop its complex citrus-woody aroma.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ethiopia Regular suitable for indoor growing?

Yes, but it needs height and strong light. Ensure at least 1.50 m (4.92 ft) of vertical space. Use powerful LEDs or HPS and consider SCROG to manage height while maximizing yield.

How does THCV affect the high?

With 2% THCV, Ethiopia delivers a more focused, clear-headed high compared to standard THC. It’s energizing without anxiety, promotes alertness, and may support focus — perfect for daytime use.

Can I grow this in a Mediterranean climate?

Absolutely. Ethiopia thrives in warm, coastal areas up to 40º latitude. It handles late autumns well and resists mold better than most sativas, making it ideal for outdoor grows in Southern Europe.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Ethiopia Regular last season outdoors in Valencia — hot, humid, and unpredictable. I was skeptical at first, but this plant surprised me. It shot up fast, branched like crazy, and stayed green even during a rainy stretch that wiped out a neighboring haze. I ran it under 11/13 indoors for a test batch — less stretch, denser buds. The high? Pure joy. Not hyper, not anxious — just a clean, smiling clarity. I’d smoke it midday and stay productive. The flavor is wild: earth, wood, and a hint of fermented lime. If you want a true African sativa that doesn’t break the bank or your back, this is it. Just give it space, light, and time. And try it fresh — some users say curing changes the vibe, but I love it both ways.
