Balochistan Quetta Purple Selection #1
Balochistan Quetta Purple Selection #1
Also known as: Quetta Purple Selection #1, Balochistan Quetta Purple #1
Overview
Balochistan Quetta Purple Selection #1 is a pure indica landrace strain originating from the outskirts of Quetta in Pakistan's Balochistan province. This heirloom cannabis variety represents a deep-rooted cannabis culture among traditional Balochi farmers, preserved by the renowned cultivator Mir Irshad. The strain is a family heirloom passed down through generations of Balochi farmers who have cultivated cannabis for hashish production for thousands of years. Located at approximately 30°N latitude without extreme altitudes (not exceeding 4000 meters), the Balochistan region's climate allows these landrace populations to exhibit characteristics typical of naturally adapted varieties in mid-latitude ranges between 24°-32°N. The region's harsh desert climate, with minimal rainfall and snow-based precipitation in winter, has shaped this hardy strain's resilience and unique characteristics.
The Balochistan Quetta Purple Selection #1 is distinguished by its overwhelming sweetness and fruity terpene profile, setting it apart from other Quetta selections. This broadleaf cannabis variety represents one of the world's most potent hashplant genetics, traditionally used to produce some of the finest hashish globally. The strain exhibits beautiful purple coloration, with broad leaves that turn red during ripening and flowers that develop stunning pink pistils. Plants typically grow 3-3.5 meters tall with strong lateral branching and heavy resin production, requiring support during late flowering due to the weight of the dense colas.

Growing Information
Cultivation difficulty is intermediate to advanced due to the long flowering period. Indoor flowering time is approximately 12-14 weeks (98 days), including a pre-flowering stretch of 3-4 weeks before rapid floral bract production begins. Plants typically triple or quadruple in size by harvest time. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though outdoor growing requires a long season ending in early November. Expected yield is high due to heavy lateral branching and dense cola production. Plants grow very tall and robust (3-3.5 meters) with strong branching that may require support during late flowering. Prefers hot, dry climates but shows excellent adaptability to temperature variations. Never available in feminized form, only regular seeds.
