Afghani Gold
Also known as: Afghan Gold
Afghani Gold Strain Overview
Afghani Gold is a heavily indica-dominant hybrid strain (90% indica/10% sativa) created through crossing Afghani #1 and Skunk #1 strains. This strain has deep roots in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan where traditional growers have revered its robust characteristics for centuries. Bred exclusively by Pukka Seeds (with some versions by Spliff Seeds), Afghani Gold represents a successful stabilization of pure Afghani landrace genetics enhanced with modern breeding techniques. The strain maintains the potent indica effects and heavy resin production characteristic of its Afghan heritage while developing unique attributes through careful genetic selection.
Aghani Gold produces fat, Christmas tree-shaped forest green buds with deep golden amber undertones and thin light amber hairs. The buds are densely packed and covered with a generous coating of frosty, golden-white crystal trichomes that can reach up to 25% trichome coverage. This high resin production makes it excellent for hash-making and concentrate extraction. The strain's visual appeal reflects its genetic purity and well-balanced expression of natural pigmentation, earning recognition among cannabis connoisseurs for both its potency and aesthetic qualities.
