Temple Chai Feminized

Effect & Aroma

Temple Chai initially ignites a veritable festival of lights in your mind: The Orange Chai genetics bring an immediate, clear head buzz that makes you wide awake, cheerful, and slightly euphoric. You feel energized like after a cup of chai tea in the morning—focused, but not nervous. This phase is accompanied by a creative drive; many users report spontaneously getting brilliant ideas or feeling the urge to start something productive. But don't worry, this mental clarity doesn't stay alone—after a while, the Gush Mints effect floods your body. A deep, warm relaxation spreads from the neck down and envelops you. It's as if someone is gently wrapping you in a blanket, while your mind continues to float above. Body and mind find harmonious harmony: relaxed muscles, but alert thoughts. At higher doses, Temple Chai's strong THC levels can also have an intensely sedative effect – almost trance-like, but never unpleasantly paranoid. It feels more like meditating under an orange tree. The flavor profile is stunning: imagine fresh orange peel paired with creamy spiced milk and a hint of vanilla – that's exactly what the first puff of Temple Chai tastes like. As the flavor progresses, spicy notes of cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg unfold, very similar to a real chai tea. And then comes the surprise in the finish: a cool mint-chocolate aroma, thanks to the Gush Mints, dancing on your tongue. Overall, the terpene profile is incredibly complex: citrus (limonene) dominates, followed by spicy-woody accents (probably caryophyllene) and a slight sweetness. The scent of the flowers is equally captivating – like an oriental bazaar where oranges lie next to spice bags and mint leaves. Temple Chai gives you aromatherapy of extremes, from sparkling to soothing, all in one go.

Cultivation & Harvest

Temple Chai may taste heavenly, but its cultivation remains down-to-earth. The Orange Chai side (Tangie Cookie Burger × Tropsicle) gives the plant a vigorous, slightly sativa-biased habit. This means it can grow well in veggie mode and doubles in size during flowering, so plan for sufficient space or use techniques like topping/fimming early on. At the same time, the Gush Mints genes ensure stable stems and branches that can bear the weight of the massive buds. In about 8–9 weeks of flowering, the spectacle is over, and you can harvest. Remarkably, despite its partly sativa-biased origins, flowering is relatively short, thanks to the masterful breeding effort of combining these genetics. Temple Chai seeds thrive both indoors and outdoors. Indoors, you'll reach their full potential under powerful lights: The plants respond very well to LST (lower-tie cultivation), resulting in a sea of ​​buds at a uniform height. Outdoors, they love warm, sunny spots – they prefer it a bit drier and tolerate heat better than some other strains (thanks to Tangie ancestors from California). Make sure to provide sufficient nutrients, especially phosphorus and potassium, during flowering to ensure the dense buds ripen optimally. Mold resistance is high thanks to Gush Mints, but due to the bud density, you should pay attention to air movement. Temple Chai's yields can be legendary: outdoors under optimal conditions, you'll experience monstrous colas that will leave you in awe. Indoors, experienced growers can achieve harvests of 500–600 g/m² – that's already professional level. So, if you're looking for a strain that delivers both quantity and quality and also has an exciting provenance, Temple Chai is your candidate. Get your glasses ready – you’ll need them!

Optics & Size

Temple Chai is a true feast for the eyes that will make any cannabis lover's heart beat faster. The plant itself is majestic: long, sturdy side shoots stretch toward the sky, covered in deep green, sometimes slightly serrated leaves. During flowering, the color spectacle unfolds: the buds glow a bright lime green, interspersed with bright orange hairs that look as if someone had sprinkled them with finely chopped orange peel. On colder nights or towards the end of flowering, purple hues can also appear on the calyxes – a small nod to the Gush Mints. The trichomes on Temple Chai are densely packed; under a magnifying glass, you can see glittering heads in milky white and amber, giving the flowers an almost golden shimmer. This strain also lives up to its name "Chai" in its appearance: The buds often have orange-brown and cream-colored highlights, reminiscent of a spicy chai latte. The flower structure is voluminous and slightly foxtail-like (tower-like tips), which is due to the Tangie content. Nevertheless, the buds are not airy, but heavy and resin-drenched – if squeezed, they leave a sticky residue on your fingers. The plant can reach around 120–140 cm indoors, with good branching. Outdoors, 2.5 m is no utopia, especially if allowed to grow freely. Towards the end, as harvest approaches, the upper colas look almost like festive Christmas trees: green-orange baubles covered in frost. If you like photography, you'll love Temple Chai – every bud will be the highlight of your gallery. And when you later examine the dried nuggets in the jar, you'll understand why this strain has such a reverential name. Visually, it resembles a holy grail among hybrids, with an aura that is both modern and mystical.
