📜 Backstory
A renowned strain celebrated for its molten coloration. It is widely reported to trace to a Western Australian import acquired by Wet Thumbs Inc. around 2010, who coined the 'Tierra del Fuego' ('Fireland') name; distribution has historically been sparse. As with all named acros, treat lineage of any individual frag as debated unless documented.
