Whos got the best Afghan?

[D. B. Doober]

I was satisfied with Nirvana's "afghaan" from 20 or so years ago. Very uniform...decent smoke. There's probably better though.

I’m not sure, but i may have recommended Afghan Kush by World Of Seeds in this thread earlier but i have to change my view after i grew some of the Afghan Kush they sell nowadays.

...today it’s nothing like what it was when they first released it. Far as i’m concerned they really ruined the line.

Today many plants seem to have menthol smell on them while the seeds i bought 10 years ago had none of that. The menthol smell is quite strong on veg plants but on the buds it’s surprisingly weak. Potency and aromas have gone down the drain. Effects are worse too.

The first version i grew was unstable but there was some real gem hash plants to be found if you got lucky or grew enough seeds. Today it’s still unstable, with many different phenotypes, but now it’s just unstable crap.

Stay away. I’m not gonna grow them again.

I grew WOS Afghan Kush outdoors in pots in 2019. It grew quite well for me, but it’s clearly a very worked strain that can’t be considered in the same light as current strains from actual Afghan farmers.

Couldn't agree more with these sentiments. I grew this WOS Afghan Kush quite a few years ago and it was one of the nicest and easiest growing plants I ever grew. And probably the nastiest smoke I ever grew. Tasted like a bonfire and at that time I was on top of my game so it was very frustrating trying to figure out what I did wrong. Ended up getting rid of her but I still think about her to this day. Oh well........

Got some Master Kaze coming in the near future (Master Kush Skunk x Afghan Haze), no love for Mr Nice's Afghans?

That's one that I'm kicking myself for not buying a few packs of. Those were stupid cheap at Hemp Depot 6 or 7 years ago.

If you’re talking about Dutch Passion’s Mazar then it’s actually an Afghan-Skunk, not a pure Affie.

Does anybody know if Mazar was created out of Nevil’s Super Skunk or is it a Skunk-afghani DP created themselves?

Good too know

I've noticed the idea of borders between Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan are very much Western imposed ideas. These are peoples who do a lot of traveling throughout these regions.

Absolutely. In an ideal world absent colonialism i.e. the British Raj, there would be no Durand Line artificial border between the two made-up countries we call Afghanistan and Pakistan, but rather a Pashtunistan.

Or maybe not even that, one of the things the West never figured out during its 20 year failed exercise in nation-building is that substantially independent tribal societies don’t want to be subject to central government control. Hell, I just ended ten years as an elected executive official in my own town, and after that experience I’m not so sure federalism even works all that well to provide basic public services and infrastructure in America anymore. So I can hardly blame the folks over there for fighting to boot us out and rid themselves of control by home-grown crooks like Karzai and Ghani.

Yup. You definitely know your shit. Almost sound like Charlie Wilson.

Well, as I've heard, this whole Roe v Wade thing is going to knock it down to the state level to allow each state to decide what they want instead of keeping it a federal issue.

And yeah, I see the whole region as just 'Stan', with tribal delineations of Afghan- Paki- Tajiki, etc.
Plus, in Islam, pilgrimages are such a way of life that they are allowed to move freely from Morocco to Pakistan and everywhere in between.

 

[Hammerhead]

You mean Kush lol.

What we should ask is who has the best Afghanica or any for that matter.. These types cant be found today. The only genetics I can think of in the last 25 years is Deep Chunk

 

[Hempy McNoodle]

I love my 1980s Kandahar ('Black Afghani' from Underground Seeds Co). It is as pure an indica as can be found since this is the region in which Schults described Cannabis sativa indica. Honestly some of the finest buds out there!

Do you often get blueberry terps in those plants, i think it was mentioned somewhere? Any photos?

Very blueberry dominant. But, there are many other scents to be found in the batch.

 

[Wuachuma]

Kandahar and Patika provinces are where BB and GDP come from, so that makes sense

Maybe the old US clone ”the black” is also from the region ? It seems to breed blueberry terps and looks similar to USC Kandahari black.
i’ve grown BCSC’s hybrid of it (don’t buy any) and it was very similar to DJ’s blueberry in taste and effect - even has the stale pineapple smell that some BB afghanis carry - and i always wondered if it was related to the Afghani seed stock DJ Short used to make the blue lines and his Blueberry

My last grow had one that was very similar to GDP.

But it looks amazing all that resin so early! And the plant looks healthy...

Anyone grown Sensi's Maple Leaf Indica recently?

 

[Dropped Cat]

I hold some stash of the MLI, and is very good.

I flowered one plant and hold some seeds, a worthy keeper.

 

[GoatCheese]

MLI is not a pure afghani, Nevil used a Skunk1 male in it also.+ three different Maple Leaf -Afghani females
..yea, i need to pop some of my MLI too once i have some room

Here’s Nevil on MLI when he was at MNS forums..

Q: "..maple leaf indica according to Ed R (same book) is: Female Ortega15 x Sam afghan skunk X male Skunk 18.5. Any idea if this is correct?"

I don't know what Ed is calling Maple leaf.
Ortega 15 was Maple leaf. This was crossed with AfgTx Sk and AfgS x sk males.
AfgT and AfgS were both sisters and pure maple leaf. Maybe Ed thought that AfgS meant Afg(Sam). It doesn't. The hybrid Ed is talking about is 3/4 Maple Leaf.

That's funny because it is sometimes marketed as a 'pre-soviet' afghani to imply its purity.

"Based on original Afghan genetics, with 100% indica. " ...and... "Fans will recognise the classic Afghan flavour as much as the disarming body stone. 100% indica for nostalgic flights into past highs."

..is what they say today on Sensi's website and no mention of Sk1
