Also known as: Malva Star
Estrella Malva Strain Overview
Estrella Malva, meaning 'Malva Star' in Spanish, is an indica-dominant cannabis strain developed by Asturjaya, a Spanish breeder with over 22 years of genetic selection and cultivation experience. Created as a cross between Afghan females and a male from the high mountain ranges of southern Africa, this strain represents a unique fusion of landrace genetics. The genetics from mountainous regions naturally develop violet, mauve, red, or blue coloration during certain periods of their life cycle, which inspired the strain's name and distinctive purple characteristics. The specific cross involved a purple female with a reddish-garnet male, resulting in the fusion of colors that became Estrella Malva. Since 2002, the breeder has worked to significantly increase the strain's potency and production, developing it into a medium-sized plant with broad leaves and fat, compact buds like a typical indica, featuring aromas of licorice and ripe fruit. The strain exhibits the hardy characteristics typical of mountain cannabis genetics, having adapted to harsh growing conditions over generations.
