Afghan Cow
Afghan Cow
Also known as: Afghani Cow
Overview
Afghan Cow is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by Dr. Krippling Seeds, representing a sophisticated three-way hybrid cross between Ash, Kaya 47 (an AK-47 phenotype), and the legendary Kali Mist. This strain was created over a decade ago as part of Dr. Krippling's mission to seamlessly blend traditional heritage genetics with modern sativa-dominance, resulting in a strain that is approximately 75% sativa and 25% indica. The strain's development utilized advanced breeding techniques including selective genomics and molecular breeding tools to ensure consistent expression of desired characteristics.
Afghan Cow produces dense, resinous buds with bright green coloration and thick orange pistils. The strain is renowned for its high resin production and crystalline trichome coverage, making it visually striking and highly potent. Despite its name referencing Afghan genetics, this strain is predominantly sativa in its growth characteristics and effects. The buds emit a complex aroma profile featuring sweet vanilla-like notes with underlying citrus, spice, and subtle hash-like undertones inherited from its diverse genetic lineage. Afghan Cow has gained recognition in cannabis communities for its unique cerebral effects and exceptional yields, with indoor cultivation capable of producing 450-850 grams per square meter.

Growing Information
Afghan Cow is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and harvest ready by mid to late October outdoors. Indoor yields can range from 450-850 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 650-1300 grams per plant. The strain grows with short, bushy characteristics with strong lateral branching typical of hybrid genetics. Plants require regular trimming of oversized fan leaves to ensure proper light and air circulation to lower flowering nodes. Afghan Cow thrives in semi-humid, Mediterranean-like climates when grown outdoors and responds well to organic cultivation methods and integrated pest management strategies.
