Highland tropical sativa with a unique fruity aromatic profile. Originating from a remote and mountainous area of the northern Philippines, the Filipino Kibungan is easy to grow, vigorous and extremely mould resistant.

Most plants produce a delicious fruity scent reminiscent of a sweet and creamy tropical fruit, while some phenotypes tend to also be hazy and woody. Many plants produce greasy stems with a distinct fruity smell. As they start flowering, the buds have a sweet fragrance at first which slowly becomes more complex. It then turns into a rich blend of sweet tropical fruit and spices. The taste is often more woody and spicy though the fruitiness is still present on the exhale.

The Filipino Kibungan is without a doubt an uplifting strain. This fast hitter encourages creativity with its clean and joyful high. However, if harvested late, the effect can be more balanced thus producing a relaxing sensation.

This Kibungan cultivar grows insanely fast, showing a lot of lateral branching. Once the plants really start blooming, however, they focus their energy on the tops and can produce some long Sativa spears. Because of the abundant rainfalls almost throughout the year, this cultivar has developed the ability to withstand extreme humidity. It is also quite cold resistant for a tropical sativa.

The Filipino Kibungan can thrive in poor soil as well as it can also tolerate more fertile soils, helping this cultivar become more forgiving and beginner-friendly than most tropical varieties.

Due to the strict laws against cannabis cultivation in the Phillipines, sourcing seeds from the region is very difficult. The war on cannabis along with the introduction of foreign genetics have already made many Filipino landraces disappear. For these reasons, a local Filipino grower offered us these heirloom seeds for their reproduction and preservation. It allowed the Khalifa team to preserve this invaluable cultivar before the relentless eradication campaigns and pollen contamination cause it to go extinct.

This unique Filipino landrace is recommended to collectors, preservationists and breeders looking for an easy-to-grow Sativa with outstanding mould resistance and fruity terpenes.
