Afghan Cannabis Strains For Sale

Where Do Afghan Cannabis Seeds Come From?

Afghani plants come from the Northeastern portion of Afghanistan, a mountainous region with thousands of years of cannabis history. While cannabis and hemp have been farmed by humans for around ten thousand years all across Asia, it’s this variety that is the best producer of hash and hash oils. Plants from this region produce more resin due to the extreme heat and dryness of the area. Since they are full-sun plants, resin is a protective covering for the sensitive flowers beneath, preventing their ova from desiccating in the sun. It also prevents passing animals from eating them. Cannabis has been used to make hashish in this region for centuries, possibly since the Middle Ages. The legendary strain known as Afghanistan or Afghani or Afghan Indica is a collection of genetics from the areas around Mazar-i-Sharif, and the mountains and foothills of the provinces of Badakhshan, Balkh, and Baghlan. Zamal Hash, Chimtal, Balkh, and Khash are all varieties of Afghan indica. Many of the immediate members of this family have been kept somewhat in isolation for many years and have been hybridized only when their genetics leave the region. This happened first, from what we can tell, in the nineteen seventies when hippies would go on hash tours of the area to experience cannabis cultures in situ. These seeds were snuck to Holland and the United States where they were mixed with other plants to give us a whole range of hybrid Kushes and resinous indicas. Kind Seed Co believes in doing the research, so we know exactly what we’re selling you!

Why Buy Afghan Seeds?

Afghan family seeds are some of the purest indicas available. They’ve been grown for thousands of years, and have likely been used as a psychoactive substance in the area since at least the twelfth century. While our seeds don’t come directly from Afghanistan, our strains carry that illustrious lineage forward. Afghan plants have some of the highest resin production of any cannabis plants. These are the original 710 plants, covered in trichomes and dripping in resin. These plants have a fabulous track record of neutralizing pain and lulling users into a peaceful sleep.

Growing Afghan Cannabis Plants

Most Afghan strains are highly resistant to all kinds of mold, mildew, and pests. They do best in sunny and dry locations, and can benefit from cooler temperatures at night thanks to their hardy mountain genes. Afghan plants generally like when their temperature is quite high during the vegetative phase, somewhere in the high seventies or low eighties Fahrenheit. As they get older and begin to flower, most plants will want their temperature stepped down to the mid and low seventies. Also start decreasing humidity for your Afghan crop as soon as they’ve become full-fledged little plants, once they have at least two pairs of true leaves. Having it down in the fifties by the time the plant is ready to start flowering is a wise choice. Being mountain plants, many Afghan varieties will be comfortable with a ten degree difference in their daytime and nighttime temperatures even in early life stages. Afghan autoflowering plants are mold resistant thanks to both their autoflowering nature and the origins of their genes. Hash Plants, Jamaican Afghani, and Afghan Kush are all excellent outdoor plants with incredible resin production. Afghan Kush’s almost entirely indica genes make it a bushy plant, but it can increase in height rather dramatically when it flowers provided it’s given plenty of nutrients and sunlight. The indica dominance of most Afghan plants also mean they are more likely to get bushy instead of tall. When you buy seeds from KSCO, you can afford to be picky about which seeds you grow since we carry so many different kinds!

Growing Flowers From Afghan Seeds Indoors

Autoflowering Afghan does very well in a Screen of Green setup, or ScrOG. This is a low stress training technique where the canopies of your plants are suppressed by a wide set mesh, while bud sites are allowed through to soak up the full sunlight. The lower canopy is kept well-manicured to increase air flow and avoid mildew and pests from proliferating on the underside of the small plants. Sea of Green technique also works wonders with both Afghan and Hash Plant, who can be pushed to produce incredible crops of dank. A Sea of Green, or SOG for short, is where lots of little plants are raised in a dense flat, often flipped early when they are photoperiod plants which results in huge colas on small plants. Jamaican Afghani can get huge outdoors, but it produces huge yields indoors as well where it can thrive with the help of training methods like the SOG, or as individual plants in a ScrOG, so long as it’s topped or FIMmed at first. Topping and FIMming are two higher stress techniques that work well for helping plants that will grow tall stay smaller in cramped spaces. Topping cuts the newest and tallest growth below the first node, while FIMming just chops the leaves, not even their stems or the node. Either one, when done properly, convinces a plant to focus on getting bushy instead of tall. Jamaican Afghan can be tricky to grow indoors because it gets so tall, so proceed with caution. Regardless of your level of experience, KSCO will have seeds you can work with!

Growing Cannabis Flower Outdoors From Afghan Seed

Many Afghan plants do very well outdoors, especially when grown in dry, warm climates like in California and Arizona. Many smaller members of this family will be quite happy on an apartment balcony, soaking up the sun. Afghan Jamaican grows pot plants that can get up to fifteen feet high in sunny Mediterranean climates. It can be somewhat difficult to grow for those who aren’t used to the feeding and trellising needs of plants this size. Deep, well-drained pots on rolling castors will help to give your plants space to grow thick and deep root balls. Organic living soil is considered the best growing medium, especially outdoors where it can be in conversation with a whole ecosystem of companion plants and pest-deterring locals like lacewings and ladybugs. Photoperiod plants will require complete darkness for twelve hours a day to flower properly, remember. Despite the difficulty of having to light proof it for twelve hours a day, Afghan Hash Plant will do quite well outdoors. The plants are quite hardy and, provided they are treated well, can produce an impressive crop considering how small they are. When growing non-autoflowering plants outdoors, it can be wise to leave them in a greenhouse, where securing a light proof space is easier. This has the added benefit of protecting your plants from any nasty summer weather. Most plants of this family like to be harvested in October in most regions of America. Growing with Weed Seeds is a dream! When you buy from us, you get the best information available for any of our over five hundred strains.

Typical Aroma Of Afghan Cannabis Buds

Afghan family strains typically have quite a dank and sophisticated scent that straddles the line between botanical floral, herbal, and more chemical notes of diesel and tar. There are times when these strains can smell like sandalwood incense or the resin of cottonwood trees. Afghan autoflower has a pungent flowery scent, like the boughs of an evergreen tree in a spring forest. Afghan Hash Plant has a dense, incense like smell that’s somewhere between floral and woody. It’s a combination between the best hash you’ve ever smoked and a forest of incense wood trees, with notes of cedar and santal wood. Afghan Kush buds have a pungent earthiness, with faint hits of pine and sometimes diesel to them. The buds of this family have a tendency to smell like a tuft of sphagnum moss that’s just been ripped off a bit of punky wood in an old growth forest, fresh and dank at the same time. Jamaican Afghani grows giant plants with a scent like camphor wood while growing. Their cured buds smell vaguely of unroasted chocolate at first, but the flavor is distinctly more tropical and spicy. Afghan Super Skunk has the dank smell you’d expect from the child of the fragrant and herbal Afghan crossed with the grandfather of all Skunks. As a family, these strains have an undeniable dank smell that, unlike the Skunk family, has an aroma closer to a flavored black tea or a complex incense. You can explore our over four dozen Afghan and Afghan-related strains right here at Weed Seeds.

What Yield Can You Get From Afghan Plants

Many Afghan family strains are experts at growing massive yields in a short period of time, and good things are worth waiting for. The best way to get massive yields is to grow healthy plants that are allowed to vegetate as long as possible. The specific strain and the way it’s kept will ultimately determine what your yields look like. Afghan autoflowering plants do best indoors, where they can grow almost a pound of bud per square meter, between three and four hundred to be more precise. Outside these seeds grow one to two hundred grams per plant. Afghan Hash Plant grows up to four hundred grams per meter squared, but thrives outdoors where it can grow between five and six hundred grams per plant. Plants from Afghan Kush seeds can grow around a pound per meter when grown indoors using low stress training techniques that optimize the growth of small plants. Outdoors, when treated properly, their yields are somewhere between five and six hundred grams per plant. When grown outdoors and allowed to get to its full fifteen foot plus height, Afghan Jamaican can grow more than a thousand grams of weed, or more than thirty-five ounces, per plant! Indoors they still produce an impressive six to eight hundred grams per square meter. Afghan Super Skunk can produce up to nine hundred grams of cannabis per plant when grown outdoors, or between four and five hundred grams per meter squared when grown indoors.

Are Afghan Buds High in THC?

This family has the original chronic strains as members, with low THC contents for this group sitting around seventeen percent. A plethora of them frequently go above twenty percent. Why are Afghan strains so high in THC? Well, these plants evolved to produce copious amounts of resin in order to protect their fragile reproductive parts from the merciless and arid sun of the Afghanistan highlands. As a result, plants from this region are some of the stickiest in the world. Resin is the main source of both THC and terpenes in cannabis plants. Scientists believe that THC evolved as an herbivore deterrent, since resin is highly sought after by insects and other plant eaters for its fragrance and abundant moisture content. It’s less appetizing to eat a lot of resin if it makes you feel disoriented and stupefied. So as a consequence of their high resin production, most Afghan family strains are quite high in THC. This has, over the years, made them in high demand for medical and intense recreational use. Afghan autoflowering strain has between seventeen and nineteen percent THC. Afghan Hash Plant and Afghan Super Skunk both have up to twenty percent THC in them, with less than one percent CBD. With up to twenty-one percent THC, Afghan Kush plants have spawned whole worlds of potent cannabis lines. Jamaican Afghani is even stronger, with up to twenty-three percent THC and less than one percent CBD. Whether you need potent painkillers or soothing soporifics, Weed Seeds’ massive selection is sure to tickle your fancy!

Typical Effects of Smoking Afghan

Afghan family strains have a deeply relaxing effect that can border on disorienting due to their intense impacts. Afghan autoflower has a very energizing and focused high at first, that wears down into a sedated soporific effect after a few hours. It’s frequently used for stress and anxiety, insomnia, inflammatory pain, arthritis, and hypertension. Hash Plant has a relaxing, tingly high that calms people down and makes them hungry.  It has an incredible body high that’s well known for making its users feel tired and comfortable and content.

Afghan Kush has a delightful body buzz that takes away all kinds of ailments including migraines, arthritis, cramps, chronic muscle and nerve pains, inflammatory conditions of all kinds, even depression, anxiety, and stress. It’s a wonderful cure for insomnia as well, with its euphoric and giggly high becoming a relaxing sedation rather early on. In between those two is a hunger that can ease lack of appetite due to nausea or disordered eating. Afghan Jamaican has a blissful high that relaxes both body and mind. It helps users drift off into a peaceful slumber. Afghan Super Skunk has an active high for an Afghan strain, with a creative and heady beginning that borders on psychedelic. This optimistic and blissful start mellows into the same kind of Afghan-typical munchie and relaxing high that frequently ends in sleep.

Typical Flavors of Afghan Family Strains

Afghan family strains often expand on their tar and herbal scents, but depending on their specific genetics, some can go an entire other way into notes of citrus and red fruits. Very common is a deep and earthy flavor of coffee, nuts, and chocolate that sits on the tongue long after the higher, more sour flavors have dissipated. Ever tried a high-quality Blonde Finger Hash? These products mimic tar, black tea, and an incense in their tastes. These are the flavors of the Afghani cannabis family. Afghan Autoflowering tastes like a mix of nuts and Turkish coffee grounds, with cardamom and cinnamon in the mix. There is an herbalness to the dry toke and something almost floral, yet spicy, about its aftertaste. It’s like chewing on lavender flowers that have been coated in rich soil. Hash Plant has a sweet and spicy flavor that mixes notes of fresh pine and incense woods to augment its dank and stereotypical hashy flavor. Afghan Kush is surprisingly sour and fruity for all the fuss its aroma makes about being dank. Deep berry fruits like black cherry and pomegranate are in both the dry toke and the aftertaste of this strain. Jamaican Afghani is a spicy and tropical strain, with bits of cocoa and coffee mixed with floral woods and a satisfying touch of pineapple and hibiscus, like having breakfast on the beach. Afghan Super Skunk is similarly rich, but with notes of sweet citrus instead of pineapple. Buying from KSCO gives you access to more than six hundred different strains so you can taste the whole range for yourself!
