'78 LA OG Affie
'78 LA OG Affie
Also known as: LA OG Affie 78, 78 OG LA Affie
Overview
'78 LA OG Affie is a slightly indica dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created through a three-way cross of the iconic Lemon Thai X Pakistani X Colombian Gold strains. This strain represents a significant piece of cannabis history, sitting at the intersection of Los Angeles' late-1970s Afghan import wave and the early OG family that would define California cannabis in the 1990s. 78 OG LA Affie was bred by Aficionada Seeds, though some sources also reference it being worked with by Aficionado Seed Collection. The 78 moniker is generally understood by growers to point to a vintage, pre-1980s LA Affie line or cut that circulated among Southern California cultivators at the time.
The strain exhibits long, cone-shaped buds with a visible coating of trichomes that look like frost on a blue spruce, featuring pepper-shaped forest green nugs with thin orange hairs and tiny, blue-tinted white crystal trichomes. It's a rare find and may be ideal for a variety of activities despite its reputation as being a beast of an indica. The strain's genetic complexity results in variable effects depending on dosage and individual body chemistry, making it particularly sought after by both recreational and medical users seeking a balanced yet potent cannabis experience.

Growing Information
This strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors and was never available as feminized seeds from Aficionado Seed Collection. Indoor flowering time is 7-8 weeks, with yields up to 16 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. For outdoor cultivation, a dry and warm climate is preferred, with harvest typically ready by early October and yields expected at 12+ ounces per plant. Both novice and experienced growers may find it challenging to cultivate, as breeders suggest pre-vegging up to 4 weeks and trimming to improve light penetration and air circulation. The plant presents as a compact, indica-dominant plant with tight internodes and strong apical dominance.
