Rif Mountain Hash Plant Landrace
Also known as: Beldia, Kif, Moroccan Beldia, Beldi
Rif Mountain Hash Plant Landrace Strain Overview
The Rif Mountain Hash Plant Landrace, locally known as Beldia or Kif, is an ancient Moroccan landrace cannabis variety that has been cultivated for over 800 years in the remote mountainous regions of Morocco's Rif Mountains, particularly in the Ketama Valley. Originating from the Rif Mountain region of Morocco where the King of Morocco gives special dispensation to allow the growing of the cannabis plant, it represents one of the world's oldest continuous cannabis cultivation traditions. This pure sativa landrace has evolved naturally to adapt to Morocco's harsh arid climate and poor soil conditions, developing unique characteristics that make it ideal for traditional hash production.
The Beldia is characterized by its medium indica/sativa hybrid structure with two distinct phenotypes: the most common being slender with a columnar structure, while the less frequent phenotype is more compact and branchy. Plants typically reach no more than 2 metres in height and are usually not more than 1 metre tall, making them ideal for Sea of Green cultivation methods. The strain is renowned for being one of the fastest-flowering sativas in the world, finishing indoors in just 7-9 weeks and ready for outdoor harvest between late August and late September. Unfortunately, this Moroccan landrace is at least 800 years old and is now quickly disappearing from the Rif Mountains due to cross-pollination with foreign genetics and modern hybrid strains.

The Rif Mountain Hash Plant Landrace is considered easy to moderate in growing difficulty, making it suitable for beginners with proper care. It is best suited for outdoor growing and thrives in harsh, arid climates with very little water or nutrients. Indoors, flowering time is remarkably fast at 7-8 weeks, while outdoor harvest occurs in August or September. The plants are vigorous but do not grow many side branches, making this strain ideal for Sea of Green setups. The strain shows high resistance to heat, drought, spider mites, and whiteflies, with average to high resistance against botrytis and mildew.
