Breeder's Description - 'Afghan'
|
Originally this strain was imported from Afghanistan and selectively bred in Holland for indoor cultivation. Afghan has a strong acrid aroma. Greasy resin glands extend to the fat shade leaves. The smoke is heavy with a strong almost numbing buzz if raised and cured properly. This plant has a high flower to leaf ratio and good yield. Afghan is one of the original genetic lines used in many popular modern day hybrids.

This was excellent weed, short, squatty, easy to grow plants. Smell was strong and pungent, taste was amazing. The plant do not appear to be very remarkable at first, look like bagseed, but they behave very well indoors and usually show sex at approx 4-5 internodes. I have never had a herm and I have had probably 40 total. Easy to clone and very hardy and resilient. Easy to regenerate if you leave a few leaves on and switch the light back to veg. The taste is a very unique greasy chemical taste that coats your mouth and throat, the high is a typical heavy Indica high but a pleasure nonetheless.
I germinated all 10 seeds in a 50/50 mix of vermiculite and perlite in a plastic Solo cup, at a depth of 1/4 inch. At day 4, I had 8 out of 10 seeds up and that was it. The seedlings grew well and I transplanted them into the full sized containers with lava rock media.
