California Hash Plant
California Hash Plant
Also known as: CHP
Overview
California Hash Plant is a feminized indica-dominant strain (90% indica / 10% sativa) that represents a masterful cross between California Hash Plant genetics and Northern Lights. Originally developed by Dinafem Seeds, this strain was specifically created for cannabis growers who love indica strains but live in regions with cold, humid climates. The genetics trace back to Afghani landrace strains, giving it exceptional resistance to mold, moisture, and adverse weather conditions that would challenge most other indica varieties.
This compact, bushy plant displays typical indica characteristics with short internodal spacing, dark green leaves, and a Christmas tree-like structure. The strain finishes flowering in just 45-50 days, making it one of the faster-flowering indica options available. Dense, resinous buds are covered in crystalline trichomes, though fewer than its Hash Plant parent, accounting for its moderate THC levels. The strain's name derives from its hash-like aroma and effects, with many users reporting difficulty distinguishing between consuming the flower and traditional hashish.
What sets California Hash Plant apart is its remarkable hardiness and adaptability. This 'born fighter' thrives in conditions that would devastate other strains, making it an excellent choice for novice growers or those in challenging climates. Indoor yields average 500g/m² while outdoor plants can produce exceptional harvests of up to 1100g per plant when grown under optimal conditions. The strain's combination of resilience, rapid flowering, and distinctive hash-like qualities has made it a staple among both recreational and medicinal cannabis users seeking reliable, sedating effects.

Growing Information
California Hash Plant is renowned for being extremely easy to grow and highly resistant to common cannabis problems. This beginner-friendly strain requires minimal attention and thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. The plant exhibits exceptional resistance to mold, moisture, pests, and diseases, making it ideal for novice growers or challenging climates. Flowering time is notably fast at 45-50 days, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 500g/m² (1.64 oz/ft²), while outdoor plants can produce impressive yields of 600-1100g per plant (21-39 oz) under optimal conditions. The plant grows compact and bushy with short internodal spacing, reaching heights of approximately 1.2m (3.94 ft) indoors and up to 2.5m (8.2 ft) outdoors. SCROG method is highly recommended for indoor cultivation to maximize yields. Temperature should be maintained at 70-78°F (21-25°C) during the day with a 5°F drop at night, and humidity levels should be kept at 60-65% during vegetation, reducing to 40-50% during flowering to concentrate resin production.
