Originally from Northern Morocco, she’s been acclimatised to European latitudes since the 90s and thrives in barren, rocky soil and arid, dry conditions. Requires little water and nutrients to produce large, resinous buds which give off the unmistakable aroma of the best Moroccan hash. An indica from Ketama, where the majority of cannabis used in the production of kiff or hash is grown, she flowers early, producing excellent resin yields.
She was chosen from a huge collection of seeds we brought back from Rif. Highly resistant to plagues and pests, this strain is widely used by Moroccans to produce one of the world’s best hashes.
Strain FAQ
Why do IBL cannabis strains produce a stable result?
Many generations of inbreeding from a single mother plant or a closed gene pool give IBL strains genetic constancy. This careful breeding approach enables uniform phenotype expression across generations, ensuring predictable strain development, potency, and flavour.
How do hybrid strains benefit from greenhouse cultivation?
Greenhouse hybrids are created to be the best of the best, combining sativa and indica genetics to thrive. These strains reportedly adapt well to greenhouse conditions and have hybrid vigour, which is said to result in faster growth and larger harvests. They are generally sought after by legal greenhouse growers seeking robust and abundant plants.
Why do Indica plants produce more resin?
To survive their severe climates, indica plants produce more resin to protect themselves from their harsh environment. This makes them durable and is said to make them perfect for making hash and other concentrates with strong flavour and effect.
Can early finishing strains negatively impact cannabis terpenes and flavour?
Not at all—early-finishing strains are often said to have varied terpene profiles. Even with early harvest appropriateness, these varieties reportedly retain their fragrances, flavours, and therapeutic effects.
What terpenes are responsible for woodsy tasting strains?
Humulene's hop-like scent enhances cannabis' woodsy scent whilst adding other reported benefits.
