Pakistan Chitral Kush
Also known as: PCK, Pakistani Chitral Kush, Purple Pakistani, Purple Chitral
Pakistan Chitral Kush Strain Overview
Pakistan Chitral Kush (PCK) is a pure indica landrace strain originating from the Chitral region in northern Pakistan's Hindu Kush mountains. Chitral is widely known in the cannabis world for producing some of the best Pakistani hash, and this line has been bred since the mid-90s by Cannabiogen. As a selected landrace, it is an indigenous strain that has been selectively inbred to enhance its characteristics. This indica presents two main phenotypes: one green and the other highly colorful with purple, pink, and red hues, both producing high adaptability, short flowering time, generous resin production and pleasant hash plant effects. Pakistan Chitral Kush stands out among indica strains for its exceptional resilience - it is one of the few pure indicas that matures correctly even under rainy conditions, in contrast with most current Afghani strains that easily rot under these conditions. The plant exhibits typical indica structure with average to short node length, wide leaves and columnar growth, though not as robust as Afghani indicas. The colorful phenotypes are noted for their forest fruit scents and stunning pink, red and purple colors that develop when ripening, making it one of the most beautiful cannabis indica expressions.
