Baikal Express

Baikal Express is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Russian breeder Kalashnikov Seeds. This unique 'Express' variety was created by crossing Kubanskiy Ubiyza (Kuban Killer) with a secret sativa hybrid from the Far East region of Lake Baikal, combining traditional Russian genetics with fast-flowering characteristics. The strain was specifically designed to preserve the psychoactive qualities of sativa while significantly reducing flowering time, making it ideal for growers in colder climates who need quicker harvests. As part of Kalashnikov Seeds' Express line, these varieties finish flowering approximately two weeks earlier than their traditional photoperiod counterparts without being autoflowering strains.

The plant exhibits typical Russian hardiness and robustness, demonstrating exceptional resistance to both hot and dry weather conditions while maintaining vigorous growth. Baikal Express produces medium-sized plants reaching 100-130cm in height with characteristic sativa structure but enhanced indica-influenced growth speed. The strain is noted for its exceptional resin production and crystalline coverage, though the bud structure tends to be more airy and fluffy compared to dense indica varieties. With its lemony-sweet aroma reminiscent of its Kuban Killer parent, combined with earthy and herbal undertones, Baikal Express offers a distinctive flavor profile that reflects its unique Russian and Far Eastern genetic heritage.
