Beldía
Also known as: Beldia, Kif, Moroccan Beldia, Morocco Beldia Kif
Overview
The Beldia strain is a true gem from the heart of the Moroccan Rif Mountains, carrying centuries of history in its genetics. This pure landrace sativa has been cherished by Moroccan farmers for over 800 years, evolving naturally in the arid, sun-drenched conditions of its native region. Known locally as "Kief," Beldia has been the backbone of traditional Moroccan hash production, celebrated for its unique ability to produce the iconic blond and chocolatey hash that made Morocco a global cannabis icon. Its preservation ensures a slice of history for modern cultivators seeking authenticity. It is very complicated if not impossible to know the genetic makeup of the Moroccan Beldia. However, it is likely to be a hybrid between middle eastern strains such as Lebanese, Syrian and Iranian landraces and South European Hemp varieties. Because of modern growers lured by profits, the landrace itself is now disappearing from the Rif. Therefore, the demand for traditional Beldia Hash has increased. One of the fastest-flowering Sativas. With delicate sweet honey aromas. Kif plants are very different from most cannabis plants. They can grow almost without water and need very little fertilizer to thrive. Their terpene profile and chemical makeup are unique. It is therefore paramount for seed breeders and growers around the world to save and preserve the Kif landrace seeds. There isn't much time left before the genetics are lost forever.
