Cannabis seed variety Purple Paro Valley

Purple Paro Valley (PPV) is a testament to the resilience of nature, born from a landrace Sativa originating in the harsh Himalayan climate of the Paro Valley in West Bhutan, at an altitude of 2,500 meters. This feminized hybrid, just two generations removed from its wild origins, thrives in the face of extended dry spells, monsoon rains, and frigid winters. 

PPV is a recommended choice for northern climates up to 56°N and areas with high humidity concerns. With global warming making outdoor cultivation increasingly unpredictable, this robust landrace hybrid is a dependable solution.

Its exceptional durability allows it to withstand low temperatures better than most modern strains. While its flexible branches may appear fragile, PPV inherited the strength of its Paro landrace parent, capable of withstanding strong winds and heavy downpours. Despite this, supporting the plants during storms is still recommended.

PPV boasts exceptional mold resistance and efficient nutrient utilization, a testament to its adaptation to harsh conditions. While the landrace itself yields modestly, hybridization has significantly improved its productivity. Growing a large, multi-branched plant further enhances yield.

PPV shines as a reliable "back-up strain" for unfavorable climates, particularly when combined with higher-yielding strains like Mandala #1. Its resilience makes it a valuable choice in challenging locations or seasons with extreme weather, offering hope where other varieties may falter. Its low-maintenance nature makes it an attractive option for guerrilla cultivation.

While the original genetics are homogenous, the feminized strain exhibits a diversity that adds to its resilience. This diversity manifests in two main phenotypes: green and purple. The purple phenotype, representing approximately 75% of the seeds, is visually stunning, while the green phenotype is shorter, finishes flowering earlier, and produces more compact buds. The purple plants possess long internodes, requiring careful consideration when cultivating in containers or greenhouses. Late planting and pruning are recommended in these scenarios.

During flowering, most plants develop a delicious, spicy green lime aroma, a signature characteristic of the Paro landrace. However, a unique "candy girl" phenotype stands out with its sugary candy scent. Crumbled dry buds release a sweet, minty aroma with a touch of hazelnut. The green phenotype leans towards lavender, thanks to the terpene linalool, contributing to sedative, sleep-enhancing effects and pain relief. Some purple plants may exhibit a black tea aroma, but all share a fresh, minty aftertaste upon exhalation.

PPV hash oil offers a fresh, sweet, balsamic aroma reminiscent of Himalayan cedar wood, boasting a THC content of 27.5%. The high is predominantly relaxing, inducing a couch lock effect. It's ideal for unwinding, promoting sleep, and relieving hyperactivity or nervousness.
