When it comes to flavors and aromas, France always takes the lead, even with cannabis. Despite being one of the most restrictive countries in Europe, France, the most significant European hemp producer, developed a legal, resilient variety that adapts to even the harshest climates of Northern Europe.
Its name is Fedora, a Sativa-dominant cannabis strain widely cultivated and exploited throughout this whole continent, especially France and Switzerland. Fedora, aka Fedora 17, produces fragrant CBD flowers of excellent quality. Its cannabidiol content can go from 6% to 16% with minimal THC and THCA levels.
It’s one of the few listed cultivars certified by The European Union, particularly renowned for its abundant seed production, CBD inflorescences, and extracted biomass. If you think that was all, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Here’s the opportunity to discover why it stands out among other hemp strains.
Terpenes
Fedora cultivars delight us with their classic spicy, earthy & nutty scent, loved by most cannabis enthusiasts. Its incredible citrus taste framed by woody undertones keeps attracting millions of consumers around the world. Recent studies in Italy have shown that the terpene levels of this strain might increase or decrease between crops and seasons.
Hidden in its enticing rich-CBD flowers, we find high-amounts of β-caryophyllene, next to myrcene, α-pinene, and terpinolene. Besides these, you can also find other less common terpenes such as (E)-β-ocimene and others derived from the aromatic Farnesene, like Valencene and Viridiflorene.
Effects
The several cannabinoids present in the Fedora hemp strain engage in synergy to deliver benefits beyond their individual attributes. The former terpenes mentioned above, along with CBD, dance in a phenomenon called the Entourage Effect.
Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating, which means it does not make you feel high. Fedora’s unique terpene profile is responsible for these varying effects that go from energizing to relaxing manifestations. Most of these terpenes are widely known for their potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.
While Pinene increases alertness, Myrcene, Farnesene, and Terpinolene act as powerful muscle relaxants with sedative effects. Working in synergy with the CBD, these compounds can help relieve acute and chronic pain, anxiety, stress, alleviate sleep disorders, and treat seizures.
Although hemp farmers use this variety mainly to produce hemp fiber, textiles, or combustion material, the Fedora 17 strain lends itself particularly well to infusion or vaporization. Due to its rapid absorption and more substantial effects, you can get quick and potent relief. Notice that the impact of smoked CBD flower usually lasts only 30 to 60 minutes.
Fedora Hemp Strain Genetics
The French industrial hemp plant Fedora 17 has an exceptional feature. As with most of the certified hemp varieties, this strain is monoecious, producing both male and female flowers. This condition should not be confused with hermaphroditism, a flower containing both androecium and gynoecium whorls.
Lineage
Its origin’s unknown, but some cannabis connoisseurs believe that the Fedora hemp strain parents are possibly a Fibrimon hybrid similar to Fedora 19.
Growth Information
Their original breeders were very assertive in naming this great variety Fedora, which means God's gift in Greek. This strain quickly adapts to all climates, making them suitable for being cultivated indoors, in greenhouses, and outdoors. Thanks to the Fedora hemp strain’s remarkable resilience to critical environmental conditions, even novice growers can grow it.
The Fedora hemp strain can reach an incredible height of 6.56 to 9.8 ft with an exciting strength in outdoor production, yielding three ounces of slightly amber inflorescences. If you plan to grow this variety outdoors in a Mediterranean subclimate, notice that THC levels may go beyond 0.3%. Like we said before, the Fédora 17 strain is a remarkable hemp variety for outdoor growers who want to use both fiber and seed.
Medically, it is a good choice due to its excellent flower production. If it’s its rich-CBD flowers that you seek, we recommend growing Fedora indoors with organic processes, as they will grow abundant in terpenes and cannabinoids.
