Pishin Black Seeds

Pishin Black: Black Afghan Bud

Because the Pishin Black strain is hard to find and has not been widely available in Canada for an extensive period of time, there isn't a lot of information. What we do know is that, like other high-altitude Afghan cultivars, it has spicy, hashy, and earthy aroma and flavour with hints of dark fruit and smells a bit like burnt rubber both on the plant and after it is ignited.

This strain's THC content of up to 24% means it is a moderately potent bud. But it isn't the potency that makes this strain special. It offers deep relaxation and sleepy effects perfect for a nighttime bowl pack or two. It is sourced directly from the Afghan region, where it grows in abundance. It has only recently become more widely available for Canadian home growers.

Tips to Grow Pishin Black

Pishin Black plants grow to a medium height right from the beginning. Indoor plants will need constant attention so they do not overgrow their environment. The plants grow bushy and are heavily branched. Like many cannabis strains, it performs best in a closely-controlled environment, but because it can endure minor dips and spikes concerning heat and moisture, it serves as a practical choice for expert growers, as this strain requires very specific environmental demands and has a sensitivity to moisture. Below, we've provided effective ways to simplify and streamline the growing process.

Establish consistent conditions

Daytime temperatures of approximately 21–27 degrees Celsius are ideal for Pishin Black plants. Humidity levels should fall between 30–40% during the vegetative stage, and maintain 30–40% during the flowering phase. A reduction in moisture helps eliminate the risk of mould while encouraging a more potent terpene profile.

Recommended Training Techniques

Low-stress Training, High-stress Training, Screen of Green (ScrOG), and Topping training techniques are best suited for this particular strain. These techniques require the grower to trim the non-producing parts of the plant while reinforcing the heavier branches and buds with screens or nets so the weight of the buds doesn't compromise the integrity of the entire plant. Correct training of this finicky strain can make or break the proper growth and harvest of its buds.

Fine-tune nutrient levels

All cannabis plants benefit from nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). During vegetative growth, Pishin Black prefers greater amounts of nitrogen, as it promotes leaf and stem production. However, because nitrogen encourages leaf growth, it's important to reduce levels during the flowering stage. This will allow your plants to channel their efforts towards resin-rich bud development instead. To lower nitrogen levels, try using a bloom formula or simply dilute your existing feed.

Germinating Your Pishin Black Seeds

Our straightforward germination guide is an easy-to-understand way for growers of all skill levels to start the growing process. If you have basic items on hand, such as paper towels and water, you can germinate your Pishin Black seeds like a pro.

Our step-by-step process allows taproots to emerge within 3–7 days, following which your seeds can be transferred to nutrient-rich soil, a hydroponic setup, or another growing medium of your choice. As an added benefit, growers who use our technique can cultivate with confidence, knowing their seeds are fully protected by our germination guarantee.

Yields, Flowering Times, and Harvest

The Pishin Black strain has a flowering period of approximately 55–70 days, with outdoor harvests typically occurring in early to mid-October. Indoor growers will produce up to 400 grams of trichome-rich buds under proper care, while outdoor growers may see yields of up to 500 grams per plant, so long as environmental conditions remain stable.

Dominant Terpenes in Pishin Black

Pishin Black's pungent flavour and spicy, hashy, and earthy aroma are due, in part, to dominant terpenes caryophyllene, pinene, and terpinolene. Caryophyllene is known in the cannabis kingdom as being spicy and peppery, and can be found in cinnamon and black pepper naturally. Pinene is commonly found in conifer trees and pine needles, and contributes to the piney aroma in cannabis plants. Terpinolene adds notes that are slightly complex with the scent of herbs and citrus.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Pishin Black

Pishin Black's THC content of up to 24% adds to its potency, but it is the way it's grown and the hash-like effects that make it an incredibly unique offering in the world of modern commercial cannabis. The effects of this bud are similar to the effects you would get from smoking hash. There is an enjoyable, heavy body high that relaxes from head to toe. It is a great bud to use to unwind after a stressful day. It will make your worries and cares melt away as you curl up for a great night's sleep. Needless to say, it is best used at night, before bed.
