Lebanon
Also known as: Lebanese, Lebanon Landrace
Lebanon Strain Overview
Lebanon is a landrace cannabis strain originating from the Bekaa Valley region of Lebanon, where it has been cultivated for centuries. This strain represents one of the world's classic hashish-producing varieties, traditionally processed into high-quality blonde and red Lebanese hash. The plant has adapted to the Mediterranean climate of its native region, developing characteristics suited to the hot, dry summers and mild winters of the Middle Eastern highlands. As a landrace strain, Lebanon maintains genetic purity and stability that has been preserved through generations of traditional cultivation practices.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a light green coloration with occasional purple hues and are covered in abundant trichomes, reflecting its hash-making heritage. The buds tend to be compact and rounded, with orange pistils weaving through the calyxes. Lebanon's growth pattern shows characteristics of both indica and sativa varieties, resulting in its hybrid classification, though it often leans slightly toward sativa in its effects and structure.
Notable features of the Lebanon strain include its historical significance as one of the primary hashish-producing varieties in the world and its preservation as a relatively pure landrace genetics. The strain has contributed to numerous modern hybrids through breeding programs seeking to incorporate its unique terpene profile and balanced effects. Traditional cultivation methods in its native region involve sun-grown plants that benefit from the high altitude and intense sunlight of the Bekaa Valley, which contributes to the development of its distinctive resin production and aromatic compounds.

Lebanon Strain Growing Information
Lebanon is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, particularly for growers outside its native climate. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early October outdoors. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in suitable climates. The strain prefers warm, dry conditions similar to its native Mediterranean environment and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though it thrives in sunny outdoor settings. Plants typically reach a medium height of 1.2-1.8 meters (4-6 feet) outdoors. Special considerations include providing good air circulation to prevent mold in humid conditions and ensuring adequate support for branches during flowering due to dense bud development. The strain shows good resistance to pests and diseases when grown in appropriate conditions.
