Ortega is an indica strain that was originally made a little different from Nevil’s version when he was working with Sensi. Shantibaba made this strain with a selection from NL#1 and NL#5, utilizing an old school set of seeds from the 1980s. 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 in as little as 6-8 weeks. She 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. This strain works well for sleep disorders and muscular conditions. It is a must try.
