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
How do genetics affect pest resistance?
Some cannabis strains have been genetically modified to repel pests. Thicker leaves, more resin, or natural terpenes that deter pests all make these plants more resistant to this problem.
Are IBL strains helping preserve traditional cannabis strains?
IBL strains help preserve legacy or landrace strains, which have evolved to adapt to certain geographical settings over centuries. IBLs of these heritage strains can preserve their genetic profiles and features, protecting valuable genetics in a hybridised market.
Which terpenes give cannabis a piney smell?
Alpha-Pinene and Beta-Pinene give the scent of a lush forest.
What medical benefits are Indica strains said to provide beyond relaxation?
Indica strains are said to provide natural treatment for muscle spasms, chronic pain, and illnesses including multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia due to their CBD concentration.
