Lebanese Hashplant

Lebanese Hashplant is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 8.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Lebanese Hashplant is a rare and renowned landrace variety responsible for producing the world-famous red and blonde Lebanese hash. Originating from the mountains above the ancient city of Baalbek, Lebanon (known as Heliopolis during the reign of Alexander the Great), this undiluted cultivar has adapted to a very inhospitable environment. This particular Lebanese accession has notable pedigree, originating in one of the most renowned mountain regions above Bekaa Valley, which is traditionally where the finest Lebanese hashish has been produced. Bekaa Valley has been a major centre of commercial hashish production for export since the early 20th century. Afghan seeds are said to have been introduced to Bekaa in 1974.

Lebanese plants are typically compact and early maturing. Deep-red or purple colouration can show during senescence. Two main architectures can be found: Columnar plants grow to one central stem with minimal branching and are well-suited to breeding advanced industrial crops. Heavily branched phenotypes are often near-spherical (e.g., 90 by 90 cm). Another notable trait is that Lebanese begins blooming extremely early, with the first signs of inflorescences emerging in late June to early July. This gives Lebanese a mid-September harvest window for northern growers, which is nearly unheard of in a long-flowering, narrow-leaf sativa like this. Relative to other hashish domesticates, CBD can be exhibited in exceptionally high double-digit quantities in some individuals. This lebanese strain consistently produces CBD quantities between 6 and 16%.
