Black Afghan Seeds

All of the properties that make the Black Afghan strain so popular amongst recreational users are also what give it the potential to significantly benefit medical cannabis users.

For those who are seeking an all-natural way to reduce various mental health issues, such as chronic stress and other mood-related disorders, this indica's blissfully uplifting effects may significantly serve to counter these symptoms.

Black Afghan's easy-going, feel-good body high that provides potent sensations of relief and tranquility is reported to offer much-needed comfort to those dealing with inflammation, arthritis, lupus, nausea, loss of appetite, and cramps.

Finally, its strongly sedative effects are pretty much a surefire way to temporarily combat and vanquish insomnia.

Black Afghan gives off a dank, incense-like aroma that is filled with notes of musk and rich, earthy spices. In addition, upon deeper inspection, those with keen olfactory senses are likely to pick up on its fruity aroma of sweetly tart berries. When broken up by hand or grinder, this indica-dominant strain also gives off a lovely and tempting spicy aroma.

In terms of Black Afghan's taste, it has a complex flavour profile that provides users with the delicious taste of pepper along with the sweet and earthy taste of fruits and hash. When combusted, its smoke is both heavy and is likely to induce coughing and/or watery eyes.

Black Afghan plants are not the easiest to cultivate despite being pretty hardy due to their landrace genetics. As such, they require the skill of intermediate-level to expert growers to fully thrive. However, one bonus of ordering from Pacific Seed Bank is that we only sell feminized seeds, which means that the likelihood of ending up with all-female plants is approximately 90+%.

While this strain is suited for both outdoor and indoor cultivation, know that when it comes to outdoor cultivation its plants require a hot and humid climate in order to fully thrive. Canadian cultivators in warmer regions may find outdoor growing particularly rewarding during the summer months.

As is typical for an indica, Black Afghan produces bushy, compact plants that usually grow to be about 3 feet tall. Black Afghan cannabis plants are known for producing nuggets that are more typical to what you'd find with a landrace Thai sativa in that they're quite long and gangly, and give a more ragged appearance.

However, what really makes Black Afghan stand out from the crowd are its big, colourful flowers that have deep purple hues that give its buds a dark purple look with the faintest hints of green. All of which is eye-catching contrasted against its vivacious orange pistils and a generous coating of sticky white trichomes.

When grown inside, Black Afghan plants provide cultivators with an above-average indoor yield of about 400+ grams per square metre after entering their flowering period in just 8-9 weeks.

Cultivated outside in the proper growing environment, Black Afghan plants should enter their flowering time in the autumn and usually provide a solid outdoor yield of approximately 400+ grams per plant.
