Origins & Lineage
This strain is a hybrid created by B. Seeds Co., crossing a landrace indica from the Kashmir region, specifically the Jhelum Basin and Neelum Valley, with Deep Chunk, a well-known indica hashplant. The Kashmiri lineage contributes genetics from high-altitude, cold-hardy cannabis traditionally selected for resin-rich hash production. Deep Chunk adds vigor, a stable indica structure, and enhanced resin density.
The breeding goal was to combine the unique spice and wood profile of the Kashmiri genetics with the reliability and hash-making qualities of Deep Chunk, aiming for consistency, extraction efficiency, and terpene retention.
