Afghan Strain Info

If you’re a die-hard cannabis enthusiast, you’ve probably grown countless hybrids that have Afghan genetics in them, as this landrace has given rise to many first-rate marijuana strains. Now you have a chance to grow the original, which is 100% Indica with no outside influence to mess with her exquisite old-school flavor of lemon, spices, and wood or her knockout potency.

Genetics

You can hardly imagine a simpler family tree than Afghan’s. This weed is the same as it has been for thocanadands of years when it grew naturally in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan. It’s certainly one of the very few true landraces on the cannabis market.

Flowering Time

An extremely short flowering time is one of the things that makes Afghan genetics so popular. The buds take only 50-55 days from the day you switch your timer to 12/12 to form harvest-ready, fully mature flowers. This also makes Afghan seeds suitable for climates with relatively short summers and cool autumns.

Yields

As most pure Indicas do, our Afghan produces big and dense colas and above-average yields that reach 1.6-1.8 oz/ft² (500-550 g/m²) indoors. Outdoors, the plants are equally productive, though not very tall, and bring in 1.3 lb (600 grams) each.

Effects

Relaxing and blissful, this is what the natives in Afghanistan have been smoking for centuries to immediately forget about the hardships of their lives, feel invincible, and find relief from their bodily discomforts.

Medical Properties

Pure Indica relaxation is exactly the kind of smoke people think of when they say ‘medical marijuana’. Whether you suffer from a loss of appetite, nausea, stress, anxiety, depression, or pain in your back, joints, or muscles, Afghan can cure it all without clouding your judgment or making you too groggy and tired.

THC and CBD Levels

With THC content hovering around 15-18%, Afghan is considered a medium-potent plant, non-threatening to newbies but strong enough for veteran smokers if they take an extra hit or two. The CBD levels are too low to offset her Indica effects.

Smell and Taste

The smell and taste of Afghan bring the word ‘old-school’ to mind. At the same time, it’s complex and hard to define – unless you’ve actually smoked old-school weed. Expect herbal and citrusy aromas with notes of wood or pine and even whiffs of mint.

Grow Tips

Afghan can be extremely rewarding even in the hands of a grower with no experience. Thanks to its landrace nature, this weed is resistant to unfavorable conditions as well as diseases and pests. The plants are also short, compact, and have plenty of branches, which makes them very convenient for indoor cultivation.

• Train the plants indoors for maximum yields.
• Defoliate regularly to improve airflow and light penetration.
• Control the relative humidity and check the buds for mold and mildew.
