AFG-7
Also known as: Afghan #7, Afghan 7
AFG-7 Strain Overview
AFG-7 is a pure indica landrace strain originating from the mountainous regions of Afghanistan, specifically cultivated in the Hindu Kush area. This strain represents one of the classic Afghan genetics that has been preserved and refined over generations by local growers. As a landrace variety, AFG-7 has remained relatively unchanged genetically compared to modern hybrid strains, offering a glimpse into traditional cannabis cultivation practices in the region where it has been grown for centuries primarily for hashish production.
The plant exhibits typical indica characteristics with a compact, bushy structure and broad, dark green leaves that often develop purple hues in cooler temperatures. The buds are dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. AFG-7 is particularly noted for its exceptional resin production, making it a preferred choice for traditional hash making methods. The strain has played a significant role in cannabis breeding programs worldwide, contributing its robust genetics and resin production to many popular hybrid strains.
AFG-7 is recognized for its resilience and adaptability to harsh growing conditions, having evolved in the challenging climate of the Afghan mountains. This hardiness makes it particularly suitable for outdoor cultivation in various environments. The strain's preservation is important for maintaining genetic diversity within the cannabis gene pool, as pure landrace strains like AFG-7 contain unique traits that may be lost through excessive hybridization.

AFG-7 Strain Growing Information
AFG-7 is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, particularly suited for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 7-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. This strain produces moderate to high yields of dense, resinous buds. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a dry climate similar to its native habitat. Outdoor plants can reach heights of 5-7 feet, while indoor plants typically stay around 3-4 feet with proper training. AFG-7 is resistant to common molds and pests due to its landrace heritage, but requires good air circulation to prevent bud rot in humid conditions. The plant responds well to low-stress training techniques and prefers soil-based growing mediums.
