Swabi
Also known as: Swabi Pakistani, Swabi Pakistani Landrace
What is the Swabi strain?
Swabi is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and ammonia and chemical flavor profile.
Swabi Pakistani is a totally unique and rare, unhybridized pure landrace/heirloom strain from the Swabi region of Pakistan. The farmer who cultivated this pure variety for over 40 years was forced to stop cultivating due to legal issues and has gifted the seeds to Irrazin with the wishes that they be spread around the world so this valuable and unique strain will not become extinct forever. These seeds were gifted to me by Irrazin of Indian Landrace Exchange and are being released for the Breeders Without Borders project.
The strain originates from the Swabi district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan, a temperate region situated between the Indus and Kabul rivers. These villages usually grow wheat, rice and Corn alongside limited cannabis crops mostly in remote villages, for producing Garda (Hashish) from domesticated Landrace varieties out of Peshawar valley part of which now makes up Mardan district. From what's commonly learnt about the regions near punjab, That Wilder types cross pollinate the imported farmed varieties often in places like Swabi (KPK), but unlike many other parts in India, the farmers here understand the importance of maintaining the desirable heirloom expression to save it from degradation overtime.
Swabi displays remarkable structural diversity within its phenotypes, ranging from tall sativa-like plants to shorter indica-structured varieties. You will find a fair amount of structural variation in any of them (both tall and short phenotypes are possible), however you'll notice they all have the same Swabi funk to them, a special woody nutty spice and also "landracey" sharp tones which are very unique and sativa-like in nature. The strain exhibits unique terpene profiles across its phenotypes, with some featuring a sour vinegar wet smelling terpene that I have never ever seen in cannabis before, while others express rubber spice, cream, burnt rubber, sweet spice, and wood notes.
