Overview
As the name suggests, the Afghan strain is, in fact, indigenous to the foothills of the Afghanistan mountains. Westerners came across it during the ‘hippie trail’ days of the 1960s and 1970s. The travelers consumed this cannabis strain and then brought the seeds back with them to grow in America and Europe. It’s a 100% pure Indica strain with moderate THC levels around 16 to 17%.
Strain Effects
Since Afghan is an Indica thoroughbred, users get full-body coverage, creating one intense high. But, it’s not just a strain that puts you on the couch, it goes even deeper by acting as a potent sleep aid. Because of its ability to help with sleep, those with insomnia love and rely on Afghan for these specific effects. Besides insomnia, this strain works to lower stress, pain, and depression. It gets the body into a state of relaxed euphoria while quieting the mind.
Growing info
This plant produces excellent yields and has a high resistance to molds and pests. It’s a tough strain because it had to adapt to the harsh conditions of the Afghan mountains. The ease of cultivating this plan is a huge perk for those who don’t have a lot of growing experience. It grows equally well outdoors and indoors. Because of its Indica genetics, the plants don’t get very tall and they tend to stay busy and compact. The average flowering time is somewhere between 8 and 10 weeks. Harvest usually occurs around late September, and yields come in at 450 to 600 grams per M2.
Appearance and Aroma
Afghan has a sensational appearance. The fat, dense buds are covered in hairs and a mind-blowing number of frosty trichomes. Its heavy resin production is the reason it creates a deep and heavy stone. This strain is divinely aromatic with sweet, earthy notes. It’s impossible not to smile with joy when inhaling this perfect plant specimen.
MSNL Editors Verdict
As one of the best Indica strains on the planet, Afghan makes loyal fans of all who smoke it. One of the reasons this plant promotes calming properties in the body and mind is due to its Myrcene content. This terpene is also what gives Afghan a sweet flavour and taste. The body buzz is reminiscent of still waters, while the heady effects are blissful and euphoric.
| THC CONTENT | 15%-18% | |
| FLOWERING TIME | 8-10 WEEKS | |
| TYPE / OUTDOOR | INDOOR/OUTDOOR | |
| OUTDOOR HARVEST | LATE SEPTEMBER | |
| PLANT HEIGHT | TALL 180cm-220cm | |

The earthy and sweet tasting notes of Afghan are dominant in this strain. Yet, as you continue to smoke your joint or take hits from the pipe, you’ll notice spicy hints that manifest as cinnamon and incense. Also, it has a hash-like smoke, that’s strong and lingering.

"SMELLS SO GOOD!!!"
Review by Nick
The mango smell is crazy. Very potent and triched out. Good for an evening smoke because it will knock you out. If you have insomnia this would work very well for you.

"Afghan BIG BUDS!!"
Review by Jeremy
I got 3 Afghans as freebies all are in week 6 of flower and getting ready to flush. All the buds are humongous, but 1 really stands out because I have it in a 1 gallon pot and is going to probably yield 4 ounce which is unbelievable in such a small pot. MSNL amazes once again!!

"very little trimming required"
Review by Tailor
My favorite thing about this strain is that there's so little trimming, and what there is is such a small amount it doesn't take much time at all.

"Finally relief"
Review by Barney
I suffer from terrible insomnia and Afghani is by far the best I've tried for this. Normal "couchlock" indicas seem to have very little sedative effect on me, but this Afghani stuff has managed to actually WORK

"Always knocks me out"
Review by Thor
Afghan always knocks me out, which can be good or bad depending on what I need to get done. It's consistent though, so I always know what I'm getting into beforehand.

While getting baked, it almost smelled like I was baking, the smell of cinnamon (and even maybe a little bit of vanilla) were so strong and so sweet. Don't plan to do much though. This stuff will keep you on the couch fer sure!
