Chama! R1 by Ethos Genetics

Chama! R1 is an easygoing, good-looking feminized hybrid that rewards growers of every level. Ethos Genetics bred it from Lemon Cherry Pie and Martian Candy OG, itself a Gelato x OG cross, and the result is a strong, solid plant that finishes in about 56 days with resin-coated flowers that look as good in the jar as they do on the stem.

The Chama! R1 strain is all about fresh, lively flavor. Earthy depth sits under a cool peppermint lift, with spice and citrus filling the gaps, and the overall impression is clean and invigorating rather than heavy. Ethos Genetics lists a TAC of 25%+ for this release.

It is also one of the most approachable Ethos seeds in the catalog. The breeder flags it as beginner friendly, easy to grow and just as easy to harvest, which makes it a dependable choice for a first run with Ethos cannabis genetics.

Expect an average yield of eye-catching flowers, a fast finish and a plant that performs indoors, in greenhouses and outdoors.

Lineage and Breeding

On one side, Lemon Cherry Pie brings bright fruit and a sweet, pastry-like base. On the other, Martian Candy OG combines Gelato’s dessert notes and frost with the structure and backbone of an OG. Put together, these parents produce a balanced hybrid with good bud density, healthy resin output and a flavor that leans fresh rather than syrupy.

The R1 tag marks the first reversed-female feminized generation. A selected female was reversed to produce pollen and crossed to make feminized seeds, so every seed should grow into a flowering female. For home growers that removes the need to sex plants and puts all the effort into the canopy.

Aroma, Flavor and Effect

The bouquet opens earthy and grounded, then a cool peppermint note rises over the top. Warm spice and a squeeze of citrus fill out the middle, giving the smoke a crisp, refreshing quality that stays on the palate after the exhale. The terpene families tied to the line are citrus, earthy, peppermint and spices, which matches what most growers report from the jar.

Chama! R1 is a classic hybrid with a sociable, upbeat personality. Many people see it as a daytime pick: fun, chatty and uplifting, with enough body to stay balanced. It works well for get-togethers, outdoor afternoons or anything that calls for a clear, positive mood.

Growing Chama! R1 Indoors and Outdoors

This is a strong, sturdy plant that keeps things simple. Indoors she grows medium to tall with medium to long internodes, so a single topping and some light LST help spread the canopy and keep the colas at an even height. Because she finishes in about 56 days, she suits growers who want quick turnaround between runs.

Feeding is uncomplicated. A standard bloom schedule with moderate nutrients keeps her happy, and the resin-coated flowers do not need heavy pushing to look good. Keep humidity in check during the last weeks to protect the frosty buds, and use a carbon filter if odor control matters.

Outdoors and in greenhouses, Chama! R1 grows into a strong, healthy plant that handles normal weather well. The short flowering window helps her finish before late-season rain in many regions. Yield is rated as average, with quality and bag appeal as the main selling points.
