Vintage Lebanese X The Puck by Pagoda Seeds
Vintage Lebanese × The Puck
Vintage Lebanese x The Puck is a predominantly indica hybrid developed by Pagoda Seeds. It aims to combine the traditional characteristics of Lebanese landrace strains with the modern resin production qualities of "The Puck" cut. This cultivar is designed for a deeply physical effect without significant cognitive impairment.
Appearance
This cultivar typically presents with broad, dark to medium green leaves and stout stems, supporting moderate to high lateral branching. Plants feature tight internodes, leading to stacked floral sites that form dense, rounded colas. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is favorable, and mature flowers often display tawny-orange pistils against olive to forest-green bracts, sometimes with subtle plum or wine hues. Prominent trichome coverage gives the buds a glistening appearance at peak ripeness.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile is layered, beginning with vintage Lebanese notes of cedar, sandalwood, and dry spice, complemented by hints of dried apricot. The Puck influence adds undertones of dark earth, coffee grounds, and a subtle rubbery or diesel scent. Upon grinding, notes of black pepper, cumin, and leather emerge, alongside cocoa and pine. Flavors on inhalation mirror the aroma, with cedarwood and cardamom leading into dark chocolate, toasted barley, and a hint of bitter espresso. A faint diesel note may appear on exhale in certain phenotypes.
Effects
Vintage Lebanese x The Puck delivers a deeply physical, body-forward experience. It is noted for promoting a sense of calm and is considered suitable for evening use. The effects are characterized by relaxation without significant cognitive fog, aligning with its indica-leaning genetics.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain is expected to have mid-to-high THC levels, typically ranging from 18-26%, with negligible CBD content (<1%). While specific terpene profiles can vary, dominant terpenes often include Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, with Pinene, Humulene, and Ocimene also potentially present. These contribute to the strain's complex aroma and flavor notes.
Growing
Cultivators describe plants that are easy to shape and maintain, with stout branches capable of supporting significant weight. Indoor flowering time is generally around 8-9 weeks, with reported yields of 450-650 g/m² under optimized conditions. The plants are noted for their fast resin development and a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio, which aids in trimming. The genetic makeup suggests a modest stretch, making it suitable for various growing setups, including high-density configurations.
Origins & Lineage
This hybrid is a cross between Vintage Lebanese, a landrace strain known for its hash-making qualities and aromatic profile, and THE PUCK, a resin-heavy indica cut. Pagoda Seeds developed this combination to honor classic hash-producing genetics while meeting contemporary demands for solventless extraction performance and predictable plant structure.
