Lolab Valley
Also known as: Kashmir Lolab Valley
Lolab Valley Strain Overview
Lolab Valley is a first-generation landrace cannabis strain from the Lolab Valley region in Kupwara district, Kashmir, located at approximately 34 degrees North with altitudes ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 feet. This true landrace expression was preserved by Indian Landrace Exchange through selective inbreeding of the native population to maintain its authentic Himalayan genetics and resilience. The valley's exceptional climate, characterized by extremely high humidity levels (never dropping below 70% and typically staying in the upper 80s), frequent precipitation, and wet-cold conditions, has naturally shaped this strain's unique characteristics.
The strain displays remarkable adaptations to its harsh environment, featuring an open and airy bud structure that prevents mold and mildew despite the high-humidity conditions. Plants develop distinctive deep red stems during flowering, with 18-20% of the population showing colored sap ranging from light pink to clear red. The strain exhibits two main phenotypes: Type I with thinner leaves, taller stature, and wider internodal spacing, and Type II with more compact structure, broader leaves, and shorter internodal distance. Both phenotypes share the strain's signature characteristic - an omnipresent lemon aroma complemented by sweet floral lavender or pine notes.

Lolab Valley Strain Growing Information
Lolab Valley is considered beginner-friendly with exceptional resistance to mold, mildew, pests, and harsh weather conditions. Flowering time ranges from 49-70 days (7-10 weeks) with an average-to-moderate yield. The strain thrives in high-humidity environments (70%+ humidity) and performs well both indoors and outdoors. It shows remarkable cold resistance and handles wet, damp conditions better than most strains due to its natural adaptation. Plants benefit from full-spectrum lighting and good airflow. Some phenotypes may stretch during flowering and require support. The strain finishes outdoors by end of September in Northern Hemisphere. Regular seeds produce both males and females, with males flowering extremely fast (48-72 hours from light cycle change) and producing distinctive white pollen.
