Afghani Strain

What Is the Afghani Strain?

The Afghani strain, also known as Afghan, is one of the oldest cannabis cultivars in the world. This pure landrace strain is said to have originated in the Mazar-i-Sharif and Hindu Kush mountain regions of Afghanistan. Growers in the area have been cultivating marijuana for centuries, making a living by selling black Afghani hash and other cannabis products.

The strains these growers developed have laid the foundation for many of today’s potent, frosty, Indica-dominant cultivars. Indeed, the Afghani strain has been used to create countless hybrids such as Stardawg, Blueberry, and Skunk No. 1.

Afghani cannabis seeds made their way from the Middle East to the United States during the 1970s. The strain proved to be a valuable tool for indoor growers due to the short stature and fast flowering time of the plants. Soon, many growers began creating hybrids of Indica and Sativa strains to reduce the flowering time and lower the height of Sativas. Most of the hybrid strains popular today are descendants of the classic Afghani marijuana strains.

Afghani Weed Strain Info

Afghani is a pure Indica strain that offers deeply relaxing and sedating effects. This potent strain boasts THC levels of between 17 and 20 percent. Afghani marijuana is popular among medical cannabis users due to its purported pain-relieving body high.

Afghani delivers a mellow, euphoric effect that settles into a calming and soothing stone after an hour or two. Given its extremely relaxing stone, this strain is best consumed during the evening or shortly before bed.

Afghani Strain Characteristics

Afghani cannabis buds emit a subtle, earthy aroma with hints of fruity sweetness. This variety smells of wildflowers, soil, and berries, mixed with notes of pine, fuel, and exotic spices. Much like its aroma, Afghan offers a rich flavor that is sweet and earthy. Depending on the phenotype, Afghani buds may taste more of berries and soil, or more like skunk and fuel.

This strain has a short and bushy structure, with thick branches and large fan leaves. The leaves are dark green in color and have very broad leaflets that are sharply serrated. The Aghan strain forms small to medium-sized colas with tight clusters of dense buds that are caked in a heavy resin layer.

Grow Afghani Strain Seeds

Afghani strain seeds are easy to grow and are suitable for beginner and experienced growers alike. These marijuana seeds produce plants that are very hardy and can thrive in a variety of climates. Afghan can withstand droughts, cold temperatures, and many other environmental stressors.

Due to the density and trichome coverage of the buds, some Afghan phenotypes may be susceptible to bud rot. To prevent this, growers should provide lots of ventilation in the grow room and lower the humidity level during the flowering period.

Afghani Strain Yield

The Afghani marijuana strain produces an average yield of 16 ounces per square meter for indoor growers. It can yield around 21 ounces per plant outdoors. Growers can further boost the yield of this cannabis strain by extending the vegetative growth period and using various plant training techniques.

Afghani Strain Flowering Time

Afghani is a very fast-flowering strain, making it a great choice for areas with a short growing season. When provided with an ideal environment, this strain can reach maturity in just seven to eight weeks. Its fast flowering time has made Afghani a popular choice for commercial growers as well as breeders.
