Chitral, known for producing one of the best Pakistani hashes, offers the pure Kush strain, Pakistan Chitral Kush, through ACE Seeds. This strain has been carefully bred since the mid-90s by Cannabiogen, showcasing an indica with a colorful palette, rich tastes, scents, and highly adaptive growth. It boasts a short flowering time, high resin production, and a sought-after hash effect. Unique for its ability to mature under rainy conditions without the rot issues common to Afghani strains, Pakistan Chitral Kush is cherished among indica lovers and for cannabis breeding.
Renowned for its aroma, beauty, and quality, this strain stands out for its adaptability to various climates and resistance to mold and pests, making it an exceptional choice for diverse growing conditions. Its genetic makeup as a 100% landrace indica from the Chitral region of the Pakistani Hindu Kush contributes to its unique characteristics and vibrant terpene profile, filled with sweet, fruity, and earthy notes.

- High: Pleasant and relaxing hash plant effect of moderate potency and duration.
- Terpene profile: It contains the following monoterpenes: very high geraniol content, followed by moderate amounts of terpinolene, and small amounts of limonene, beta pinene, terpinene, beta myrcene, alpha pinene, p cymene, eucalyptol, carene, cis ocimene and camphene. Sesquiterpenes: very high alpha humulene content, and moderate amounts of beta caryophyllene and nerolidol.
- Growing Tips: Excellent adaptability to indoor growing and to a wide range of outdoor climates: warm or cold, dry or wet. Genetic analyses show that Pakistan Chitral Kush has a unique genotype, of moderate genetic variability, only showing direct kinship with other genetic samples from the same PCK family and with our Malawi x PCK hybrid. Excellent breeding tool that has been successfully and widely used for breeding. When it is outcrossed, Pakistan Chitral easily adds lots of resistance against cold and fungi, lowering down flowering times, and also adding forest fruit terpenes and impressive colors to its hybrids. We recommend moderate levels of nutrients for the whole cycle.
Strain FAQ
How does the environment affect caramel flavour?
Soil, climate, and light are all said to be able to affect the terpene profile and caramel flavour. These factors can reportedly increase or decrease important terpene expression, impacting caramel flavour.
Where do cannabis strains that resist high temperatures come from?
Many of these robust strains originated and evolved in warm, tropical environments. Sativa strains thrive in warmer temperatures, therefore their genetics have adapted to the heat.
How does Hindu Kush smell and taste different?
The rich terpene combination of myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene gives Hindu Kush its distinct profile. Its earthy, piney fragrance and sweet sandalwood overtones enhance the strain's appeal.
