AFGOOEY STRAIN INFORMATION

General Information

Type:  Indica-dominant hybrid

Genetics:  Afghani #1 x Maui Haze

Geographic Origin:  Afghanistan/United States

Seed Company/Clone: Clone-only, from California originally

Description: Takes after the Afghani #1 mother in structure and resin while adding some Sativa potency and head effects thanks to the Maui Haze father.  This blend of two old-school genetics lines produces a sticky, potent plant that stays relatively short throughout its lifespan.

History

Story: Appearing first in the California medical scene, this strain has some serious old-school credentials… the original Afghani #1 is a cut grown in California since at least the 1980′s that was composed of several landrace Afghani hash-making varieties.  As a result, this hybrid picks some Sativa vigor from the Maui Haze, but otherwise displays its Afghani roots — it’s a sticky, trichome-laden plant that is known for gumming up a grinder or two.

Growing Information

Flowering Time: Medium, 55-60 days

Preferred Growing Medium: Grows well in either soil or hydro setups, good for space-sensitive grows as well.

Patient Expectations

Scent: Can be sweet at times, with hints of berries — most often it’s on the pine/earth side of the spectrum.

Flavor: Mostly hashy and/or herby, it sometimes produces a nice berry sweetness (much like the smell, it’s unreliable and largely depends on growing skill/technique).

Effects: With a relatively strong Indica effects package, Afgooey has the potential to be a “daywrecker”, but at small-to-average doses, it’s squarely in the functional Indica category thanks to the Haze influence.  Buzzy, slack extremities, a fuzzy mental state, and a definite couchlock tendency forms the core of the Afgooey experience.  It definitely lightens the mood in a goofy, slack-jawed kind of way, but is overall a “down” experience that is most conducive to seated activities not requiring a ton of attention.  Shows benefits with strong relaxation properties (both mental and physical), mood elevation, sleep aid properties (especially at high dosages), anti-anxiety, ocular relief, and mild pain relief.

AFGHANICA STRAIN INFORMATION

General Information

Type:  Indica-dominant hybrid

Genetics:  Afghani x Skunk #1

Geographic Origin:  Afghanistan/Pakistan

Seed Company/Clone: Flying Dutchmen Seeds

Description: A stout, resinous plant in the typical Afghan mold with a yield boost coming from the addition of the Skunk #1.  Mold and pest-resistant, it’s a good choice for beginning growers.  It produces solid, heavy buds and is thus well-suited for commercial applications.

History

Story: This strain is also known as “Kabul Baba.”  A hybrid, it takes its yield, flavor, and potency primarily from the Skunk side of its lineage, while the Afghani contributes its stout, hearty structure, and its resin content.

Awards:

Growing Information

Flowering Time: Medium, 55-60 days

Preferred Growing Medium: Easily grown in any medium, responds well to indoor or outdoor grows

Patient Expectations

Scent: Vegetal with hints of  skunk, citrus, and pine… the Afghani musk seems toned down by the Skunk parent.

Flavor: Hashy, earthy, yet slightly sweet

Effects: Functional by the standards of many Indicas, this strain is sedative but also comes with some Sativa-leaning head effects such as eye pressure fluctuation and a mental drive/focus.  However, the relaxed and lazy-feeling body may not be inclined to go along with the energy, making this most suitable for a slow night at home rather than intensive tasks.
