Overview

Aunt of Farouk, also known as Wild Pakistan or simply AOF, is a predominantly indica landrace strain originating from Pakistan. The strain derives its unique name from its fascinating backstory - the seeds were collected over approximately 40 years by a friend named Farouk from a small village behind his aunt and uncle's house, near the Indian and Kashmir border region. This heirloom Pakistani hashplant variety has been cultivated by local families for traditional hash-making (charas/sifting) for many generations, representing an authentic piece of cannabis history.

The strain is primarily offered by two breeders: Derg Corra Collective and The Landrace Team, both maintaining the genetic integrity of this wild Pakistani variety. Aunt of Farouk exhibits the classic characteristics of Pakistani hashplants, featuring dense, resinous buds with exceptional trichome production. The plants typically display two distinct phenotypes - a preferred indica-dominant type that remains compact and produces dense, frosty buds, and a sativa-leaning phenotype that stretches significantly during flowering. The strain shows remarkable genetic diversity due to its open-pollinated nature, with multiple phenotypes including a notable berry variant.

Growing Information

Aunt of Farouk prefers organic growing methods similar to traditional Pakistani cultivation. The strain shows a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (approximately 67 days) and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Plants typically reach heights of 1-1.5 meters, with the indica phenotype remaining more compact (80-100cm) while sativa-influenced phenotypes can stretch to 100-150cm. Growers should monitor nitrogen levels carefully as the plants may show nutrient burn (claw) quickly. The strain is considered beginner-friendly and shows good resistance to pests and mold, characteristic of hardy landrace genetics. Expected yield is average to good, with very resinous, dense buds covered in trichomes. Only available as regular (non-feminized) seeds due to its landrace nature.
