El-Na Strain Overview
El-Na is a 50/50 Israeli hybrid bred by Tikun Olam, developed specifically for treating chronic pain and nausea. The strain's name derives from the Hebrew prayer "El na refa na la" ("O God, heal her, I pray!") that Moses uttered when asking for his sister Miriam's healing. El-Na is the product of Israeli cannabis company Tikkun Olam, which has been operating since 2006 as pioneers in clinical research and recognized leaders in the field of modern medical cannabis. The company hasn't shared the genetics of this strain, maintaining proprietary breeding practices. El-Na stands out as a rare cannabis strain that's mostly known for its medicinal qualities rather than its psychoactive effects. El-Na buds have oversized lumpy popcorn-shaped forest green nugs with minty undertones, bright orange hairs and a coating of frosty, golden-tinted white crystal trichomes. When ready for harvest, it emits a scent that's of pine or freshly rained-on wood. The strain represents Tikun Olam's commitment to developing cannabis specifically for medical applications rather than recreational use.

El-Na Strain Growing Information
Flowering time is 7 to 9 weeks with yields of 12 to 16 ounces per square meter indoors. El-Na has an average flowering time between 49 and 63 days and produces medium yields in ideal conditions, growing best indoors.

The outdoor flowering time occurs from late September until early October, and the strain is known to be very resistant to mildew and common types of molds among plants. Because it is grown for commercial purposes, the strain is likely designed to thrive well indoors, with hydroponics being the recommended cultivation method. It requires a complete lighting cycle when grown indoors or at least seven hours of sunlight when grown outdoors. Difficulty level is considered moderate due to its medical-grade breeding standards.
