Pakistani
Also known as: Pakistani Chitral Kush, PCK, Purple Pakistani, Pakistan Valley, X18 Pure Pakistani
Pakistani Strain Overview
Pakistani is a pure indica landrace strain with deep historical roots in the mountainous regions of Pakistan, particularly from the Chitral region in the Hindu Kush mountain range. As a landrace strain, it represents an indigenous variety that has been selectively bred to enhance its characteristics while maintaining its genetic purity. The Chitral region is widely known in the cannabis world as a producer of some of the best Pakistani hash, and this strain has been bred since the mid-1990s by various breeders including Cannabiogen. The strain is visually striking with dense, compact buds that display a perfect blend of deep green and purple hues, covered in a thick blanket of white silvery trichomes. Pakistani often exhibits colorful phenotypes, earning nicknames like Purple Pakistani due to its impressive purple coloration. Due to its high-altitude origins and extreme mountain conditions, these plants have naturally selected for traits that make them extremely resilient against pests, diseases, and environmental stress, with broader leaves that are more resistant to UV damage. The strain produces plants with high adaptability, short flowering time, generous resin production, and a pleasant hash plant effect, making it highly valued for concentrate production.

Pakistani strains typically have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest occurring at the end of September to early October. Expected yields range from 450-600g/m² (approximately 15-16 ounces per square meter) under proper cultivation conditions. The strain shows excellent adaptability to indoor growing and a wide range of outdoor climates, handling both warm and cold, dry and wet conditions with ease. Plants are known to be quite resistant to many external threats such as white flies, heat, spider mites, and mildew, making them an excellent choice for growers transitioning from autoflowering strains.

This is considered a stable strain that is easy to grow due to its strong and sturdy plant characteristics.
