The plants from the fast, heavy, compact side of the cannabis family
tree are named after India, and it’s true that these strains are
commonly grown for charas in the mountainous north of the country.
However, the most perfect examples of the dark, ultra-resinous Cannabis
Indica genotype are actually found hundreds of kilometres to the
northwest, in the mountains of Afghanistan.
Dedicated students
of Indica bloodlines often refer to these varieties as ‘Afghanica’ when
speaking of their favourites and as ‘hash plants’ when talking
generally of the strains found across India, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Many Indica-heads prefer their ganja without a trace of Sativa or
Skunk, while some purists will only consume weed or hash that they know
to be 100% Cannabis Indica
In years past, the most determined
Indica-lovers have journeyed all the way to Pakistan, then across the
Afghan border into ‘hashish country’ — the high reaches of the Hindu
Kush between Chitral, Mazar-i-Sharif, down to Kandahar in the south —
in search of pure, unaltered local seeds which might be brought home to
grow into the Afghanica of their dreams.
A more reliable and
cost-effective option is simply to obtain a packet of Sensi‘s Afghani
#1. The very best parents from our unparalleled range of Afghani
cultivars have been distilled into a single seed variety that gives
growers textbook examples of the Afghanica genotype every time.
Anyone
looking for a compact, fast easy-growing indoor strain capable of
copious yields and almost-frightening resin production need look no
further. Whether growers want uniform crops from seed or outstanding
pure Indica mother plants to fill their flowering space with dynamic
dark green clones, Afghani #1 has it covered.
Even first-timers
find it hard not to succeed with this strain, and growers who bring out
the full potential of Afghani #1 rank her among the finest original
Indicas to be found anywhere.
