Wailing Valley
Also known as: Wailing Valley-Malana
Wailing Valley Strain Overview
Wailing Valley is a pure sativa landrace strain originating from a remote location situated 7 kilometers east of Malana village in the Parvati Valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. The valley sits at a dramatic altitude change from roughly 2400 to over 3000 meters, requiring a steep 7-kilometer upward hike. This secluded valley is exclusively used for cannabis cultivation and remains restricted to visitors, with only a handful of families in Malana village owning land in this remote area. Bred and preserved by Indian Landrace Exchange, this strain carries old-school genetics and represents authentic landrace sativa heritage straight from the Indian subcontinent. Cannabis has been the only crop grown by Malana villagers for countless generations, with the famous hand-rubbed 'charras' hashish traditionally produced by women. Plants from Wailing Valley show considerable phenotypic diversity in smell, size, and form compared to lower altitude valleys, offering interesting breeding potential. The buds typically develop larger size and superior resin coverage compared to plants from the village and lower altitude valleys.

Wailing Valley Strain Growing Information
This heirloom strain is primarily suited for outdoor cultivation with typical Himalayan sativa structure, showing excellent resistance against cold, wind, rain, aphids, and mites. Flowering time ranges from 63-77 days (approximately 9-11 weeks), though some sources indicate up to 84 days or 12 weeks flowering period. Outdoor harvest typically occurs at the end of October. Users report the strain finishing early for a landrace sativa, being completely done by the last day of October in Pacific Northwest climates. Yields are moderate but the quality of aromatic, terpene-loaded buds makes cultivation worthwhile. Germination requires direct soil planting with heating mat beneficial during cooler months, taking 5-12 days on average. Seed viability can be low, with some growers reporting only 1 out of 27 seeds germinating. Plants show considerable phenotypic variation, providing interesting selection opportunities for breeding projects.
