Afgoodie
Also known as: Afgooey, Afgoo
Afgoodie Strain Overview
Afgoodie (commonly spelled Afgooey or Afgoo) is a classic indica-dominant cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s from the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain is believed to have originated in Northern California, where it gained popularity among medical cannabis patients for its potent effects and distinctive resin production. Its exact genetic origins remain somewhat debated within the cannabis community, but it is widely accepted as a cross between Afghani and Maui Haze, combining the heavy body effects of traditional landrace indicas with a touch of tropical sativa influence.
The strain is characterized by its dense, chunky buds that are typically dark green with occasional purple hues, often covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The name 'Afgooey' is a direct reference to the strain's exceptionally sticky, resinous nature, which can make handling the buds a tactile experience. The aroma profile is complex, blending earthy, hash-like notes from its Afghani heritage with sweeter, fruitier undertones attributed to the Maui Haze lineage.
Afgoodie has maintained a consistent presence in the cannabis market for over two decades, particularly valued by extract artists for its high resin yield and by medical users for its reliable effects. While not as commercially ubiquitous as some modern hybrids, it remains a respected cultivar among connoisseurs and breeders, often used as a parent strain to impart its potent indica characteristics and resin production to new generations of hybrids.

Afgoodie Strain Growing Information
Afgoodie is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a warm, dry climate with good airflow to prevent mold, to which its dense buds can be somewhat susceptible. Plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy with indica-dominant structure, making them suitable for indoor cultivation with limited vertical space. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yields. Afgoodie responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a flush period before harvest to enhance flavor profile.
