Pakistan Ryder is a cross between Pakistan Valley and Ruderalis.
Our Pakistan Valley comes from the Hindu Kush mountains in Northern Pakistan. This cross is a good example of Cannabis Ruderalis, which, over the generations, has been crossed and re-crossed to produce a strain with Indica characteristics and the autoflowering genetic programming of Ruderalis.
The result is quite a bushy plant with typical indica characteristics that can grow to 40-80cm. Indoors, she produces large buds and is the perfect plant for SOG in 7 litre pots. Outdoors, in 11 litre pots, she branches out nicely for an autoflowerer, resulting in good yields also under natural daylight. She produces a large amount of musky scented resin with spicy, fine hardwood notes.
As flowering does not depend on the photoperiod, she can be grown at any time of the year although yields improve the better the environmental conditions. A good tip for outdoor growing is to plant out as soon as the good weather starts then repeat a few days before harvesting the first crop to give two good harvests a year. Some growers do more, though owing to the less favourable conditions, these crops tend to be less productive. For indoor growing we recommend a 20/4 light/dark cycle throughout.

Strain FAQ
Why do some mould-resistant strains grow quickly?
Mold-resistant cultivars with shorter flowering periods have been bred to reduce high moisture exposure. Strategically, this fast development cycle is said to allow plants to be legally harvested before mould growth begins.
Where does the Kush Strain originate from?
In Pakistan and Afghanistan's Hindu Kush mountain range, Kush strains were born in harsh natural beauty. This tough environment has made them strong fighters who can survive in difficult temperatures.
Do fast-flowering strains lose potency or flavour?
Despite their short flowering period, these strains have rich, complex terpene profiles with a wide range of flavours and fragrances. This reportedly ensures speedy turnaround without sacrificing quality or experience.
What gives some cannabis strains their woodsy taste and smell?
Woodsy cannabis strains smell like forests thanks to terpenes like Alpha-Pinene, Beta-Pinene, Myrcene, and Humulene. These organic compounds give it a rich, woodsy smell like a walk in the woods or freshly cut timber.
Are strains suitable for greenhouses more sustainable?
Strains that absorb sunlight in a greenhouse can reduce the need for artificial lights and climate control, saving the world and the legal producer money. This emphasis on natural light makes the operation more eco-friendly and is said to promote healthy plant growth.
