Urgam x Malana

Urgam x Malana is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Urgam x Malana is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid that combines two distinct landrace strains from the Himalayan region of India. The strain represents a cross between Urgam, a local variety from the Urgam Valley in Uttarakhand, and Malana, the famous cannabis strain from the Malana village in Himachal Pradesh. Both parent strains have been cultivated for centuries in their respective regions, with Malana particularly renowned for producing the traditional hashish known as 'Malana Cream' or 'Malana Charas'.

The resulting hybrid exhibits characteristics from both parent strains, typically displaying a balanced genetic profile that leans slightly indica-dominant. Plants often show medium height with dense, resinous buds that carry the distinctive aromatic profiles of their Himalayan heritage. The strain has gained attention among connoisseurs and preservationists for representing a piece of India's rich cannabis heritage, though it remains relatively uncommon in commercial markets outside its native region.

Urgam x Malana is noted for its complex terpene profile that reflects its mountainous origins, often featuring earthy, spicy, and woody notes with subtle fruity undertones. The strain's rarity and specific geographic origins make it of particular interest to ethnobotanists and cannabis historians studying traditional cultivation practices in the Himalayas. Due to its limited availability, comprehensive laboratory data and standardized growing information remain scarce compared to more commercially established strains.
