Also known as: Affogato
What is the Afogato strain?
Afogato is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and coffee flavor profile.
Afogato is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in recent years for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's name references the Italian dessert 'affogato,' which consists of vanilla ice cream 'drowned' in espresso, hinting at its complex flavor combination of creamy sweetness with earthy, coffee-like undertones. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure, Afogato appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene, likely bred by boutique cultivators seeking to create a strain with both recreational appeal and potential therapeutic benefits.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure. The flowers exhibit a striking appearance with deep forest green foliage often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes. The coloration can sometimes include subtle purple hues when grown in cooler temperatures. Afogato's aroma profile is complex, combining sweet, creamy notes with earthy, coffee-like scents and hints of pine and citrus.
Afogato is considered a well-balanced hybrid, though it often leans slightly toward indica-dominant effects. Its genetic heritage combines relaxing indica characteristics with uplifting sativa qualities, making it versatile for various occasions. The strain has gained particular attention among connoisseurs for its smooth smoke and long-lasting effects that evolve gradually rather than hitting abruptly. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, Afogato has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities.

How do you grow Afogato?
Afogato is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense, heavy buds. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a flush period before harvest.
