Ortega was originally made a little different from Nevil when he was doing his Seedbank thing with Sensi. Shantibaba made a selection from NL#1 and NL#5, utilizing an old school set of seeds from the 1980’s. Ortega is a plant exhibiting a good Christmas tree structure. It is associated with strong and fruity, deep berry flavors. You can expect to harvest Ortega in as little as 6-8 weeks. Ortega is an excellent medicinal plant that presents with a good all-around effect. For many it acts as a night time medicine, being almost narcotic. Ortega works well for sleep disorders and muscular conditions. It is a must try.
