About Pure Afghan
With roots in Northeastern Afghanistan, Pure Afghan is a landrace indica with storied genetics. This strain has been commercially cultivated by proflic growers DNA Genetics from seed stock originating in Afghanistan’s fourth-largest city of Mazar-i-Sharif.
Appearance
Flowers of Pure Afghan tend to be for the most part, visually unremarkable. Specifically a small to medium size and a rounded, popcorn-like shape. These pebbly buds have a decidedly compact and dense structure, with small, dark green leaves. The flowers are twisted through with dark, reddish-brown pistils and their inner and outer nooks and crannies are covered in icy white trichomes.
Aroma
On first inspection, Pure Afghan’s earthy, dank aroma may be familiar to fans of the closely-related strain Afghani. A second whiff, however, reveals some light, floral notes as well. Eventually grinding up or breaking open the flowers yields a peppery, hashy odor. When this strain is burnt, it yields an acrid smoke that may sting the palate and sinuses and cause watery eyes.
Growing Pure Afghan
It can be grown indoors or out. Thanks to its landrace roots, the strain is a hardy grow. It may prove hard for even newbies gardeners to kill. Plants are on the short, bushy side, and growers may need to occasionally trim away any broad leaves that block light from reaching other flowering nodes. Pure Afghan flowers within a short 7 to 8 weeks when grown indoors.
