CBD-1 X Purple Pck 2002 by Ace Seeds
CBD # 1 × Pakistan Chitral Kush 2002
CBD 1 x Purple Pck 2002 is a mostly indica hybrid from ACE Seeds, created by crossing a high-CBD line with Pakistan Chitral Kush. It is bred to offer a calm, clear-headed experience while retaining the vibrant colors and resin density of its PCK heritage. This cultivar aims to provide therapeutic potential alongside sensory appeal.
Appearance & Structure
This cultivar exhibits a compact, sturdy structure characteristic of indica landraces, with broad leaflets and short internodes. Plants typically grow 80-120 cm indoors and develop dense, hashplant-style buds. Deep violet and garnet pigmentation often appears in the bracts and sugar leaves during late flower, especially with cooler temperatures, contributing to a visually striking appearance.
The flowers are dense and heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted look. Dried, they present as tightly packed nuggets with prominent purple speckling. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is favorable, reducing trim time and enhancing the overall bag appeal with a sticky resin feel.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile is a complex blend of sweet berry, ripe plum, and earthy incense, with a resinous base inherited from its PCK parent. Pre-harvest, notes of red berry, blackcurrant, and a hint of citrus rind are present, sometimes accompanied by floral or spicy undertones. Upon drying, the scent deepens to include darker fruits and a classic hash cellar note.
On the palate, the smoke is smooth and fruit-forward, featuring flavors of blackberry jam and mulberry, complemented by gentle citrus zest. A peppery, earthy sweetness emerges mid-palate, often associated with beta-caryophyllene. The finish can include woody notes like cedar and a lingering hash resin taste.
Effects
Consumers commonly report effects that are calm, centered, and physically relaxing without inducing heavy intoxication, particularly in phenotypes with higher CBD expression. The strain is designed to offer a clear-minded experience, making it suitable for daytime use for those seeking therapeutic benefits without significant psychoactivity.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain is bred to offer a range of cannabinoid profiles, with a significant portion of phenotypes leaning towards CBD dominance (Type III), while others may be balanced (Type II) or THC-leaning (Type I). The presence of beta-caryophyllene is suggested by peppery flavor notes, while limonene, myrcene, linalool, humulene, and ocimene may contribute to its complex aroma and flavor profile.
Growing
CBD 1 x Purple Pck 2002 is noted for its ease of cultivation, featuring a compact structure and quick indoor flowering time of 8-9 weeks. It is well-suited to temperate and warm outdoor climates, typically finishing by late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plants are squat, with broad leaflets and a dense bud structure that requires attention to humidity control late in bloom.
Origins & Lineage
This hybrid was developed by ACE Seeds by crossing CBD # 1, a modern high-CBD, low-THC line, with Pakistan Chitral Kush 2002 (PCK 2002). The PCK 2002 parent is a selection from early 2000s Chitral material, known for its deep purple coloration, berry-incense aroma, and classic hashplant morphology. The goal of the cross was to combine the calming, clear-headed characteristics of high-CBD genetics with the visual appeal and resin density of a traditional indica landrace.
