Afghani Noyes
Also known as: Afghani #1 Noyes, Afghani Noyes Kush
Afghani Noyes Strain Overview
Afghani Noyes is a pure indica landrace strain originating from the mountainous regions of Afghanistan, specifically the Hindu Kush area. This strain represents one of the classic cannabis varieties that has been cultivated for centuries by local farmers for hashish production. The name 'Noyes' refers to a specific phenotype selection that has been stabilized over generations, though the exact origin of this particular naming convention remains somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding history. The strain is considered a genetic foundation for many modern indica hybrids due to its robust growth characteristics and potent effects.
Visually, Afghani Noyes plants typically display dark green foliage with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced in cooler temperatures. The buds are dense and resinous, often covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The flowers tend to be compact with orange to rust-colored pistils weaving through the calyxes. The plant structure is characteristically short and bushy with broad leaves, making it well-suited for discreet cultivation and hash production.
Notable features of Afghani Noyes include its exceptional resin production and distinctive aroma profile that has been preserved through careful selection. The strain is renowned for its consistency and stability as a landrace variety, though specific 'Noyes' phenotypes may show subtle variations in terpene expression and effect profiles. As with many landrace strains, documentation about specific phenotype names like 'Noyes' is limited, and some cannabis historians suggest this may represent a particular selection from the broader Afghani genetic pool.

Afghani Noyes Strain Growing Information
Afghani Noyes is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a relatively short flowering time of 7-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. This strain prefers a dry climate with good airflow to prevent mold, reflecting its mountainous origins. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants remain relatively short, usually reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining lower humidity during flowering to prevent bud rot and providing adequate support for the dense, resinous buds. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
