Afghani #1

For optimal harvest these feminized seeds should be planted 8-10 weeks ahead of the flowering time. Seeds mature quickly and produce compact, lush buds. Plants typically double in height during flowering. Best results come from a single main stem with side branches left unpruned — the natural growth pattern is already efficient, and aggressive training can actually reduce yield on this strain. Very little experience is required to grow Afghani #1 successfully — feminized seeds produce only female plants, so there's no need to identify or remove males, which simplifies the process dramatically for novice cultivators. For growers looking to push yields further, Sea of Green works both indoors and outdoors; the strain has historically been grown mostly under artificial light, but outdoor cultivation succeeds reliably in moderate climates with long, hot summers.

The buds themselves make the origins of the strain obvious — the copious flowers are covered with a thick layer of trichomes (resin glands) containing higher cannabinoid concentrations than any other part of the plant. Growers who want hashish can harvest the trichomes via dry sieving and process them into kief or into full hashish cakes. Whether consumed as flower, kief, or finished hashish, Afghani #1 delivers the expected effect: a deeply relaxing, body-centric, and sensual stone that's long-lasting and tends to root consumers firmly to whatever furniture they happen to be on. Make sure your to-do list is finished before consuming. The strain has also earned a quiet reputation as a natural relaxation aid. Aromatically it's resinous at the core, complemented by earthy, sweet, and distinctly spicy notes that carry through flower and cure. Afghan indicas have done more to shape modern cannabis genetics than almost any other genotype — from these hash plants, the most successful hybrid strains have inherited their thick growth, fast flowering, and the resin production that defines the contemporary market.
