Rasoli
Also known as: Rasol Village, Rasol, Rasoli Charas
Rasoli Strain Overview
Rasoli is a landrace cannabis strain originating from the remote Himalayan village of Rasol in the Parvati Valley region of Himachal Pradesh, India, sourced at 32° North latitude. This strain is regarded by many aficionados as producing the finest charas of the Parvati region, better even than the famous Malana charas. One theory suggests that the Rasoli strain began as a hybrid between introduced Nepali plants and the original Malana landrace, which is plausible based on its distinctive scents.
Thanks to the remoteness of the area, the Rasoli landrace is still purer than many other cultivars from the Parvati Valley. Rasol is also much less touristy than neighboring Malana where the local landrace already shows obvious signs of hybrid contamination. Plants are characterized by tall stature with long internodes and loose, intensely resinous Sativa-type buds. The best Rasoli charas is recognizable by its amber colour and inimitable aroma. Many specimens display red stems even when temperatures aren't cold, which is common throughout the Himalayas.

Rasoli Strain Growing Information
Rasoli is a sativa strain that can be cultivated outdoors and in greenhouse conditions with a flowering time of approximately 70 days. Plants can reach heights of 2-6 metres (6.5-20 feet) outdoors and are harvested from late September through October. It is noted as one of the fastest-flowering Indian strains. Thanks to its cold resistance and fluffy buds, the Rasol cultivar can perform well outdoors in northern climates. It has high mold and mildew resistance and is not very susceptible to Botrytis and other fungal diseases. Although these plants are vigorous and easy to grow, they are very sensitive to over-feeding, and it is recommended that growers use relatively poor soil. A Himalayan charas plant grown direct into good deep loamy soil will hit 5 to 6 metres and can yield around a kilogram of bud.
