A resinous charas cultigen from the famed Parvati Valley region of the Indian Himalaya. The Parvati strain produces soft, sticky resin, similar to the famous Malana Cream charas.
The Parvati strain is taall and lanky, with long internodes and sparse resinous buds, as is typical of Himalayan landraces. Aromas are floral and fruity, with deeper hashy notes. Feral jungli phenotypes may be exhibited, as in all Himalayan landraces. CBD and THCV have been reported in Parvati strains, as in other Himalayan landrace such as those from Nepal. Himalayan landraces are traditionally employed for medicine. Previous Parvati accessions from The Real Seed Company have had positive feedback from medicinal growers. As with all traditional charas/hashish cultigens, chemotypes with significant levels of CBD are common.
