Arghandab II Kandahar

Arghandab II Kandahar is a indica cannabis strain, known for its sleepy effects and musky and pine flavor profile.

Arghandab II Kandahar is a first generation pure indica landrace strain from the Arghandab District of Kandahar Province in southern Afghanistan, preserved and distributed by Indian Landrace Exchange. This strain represents authentic genetics from one of the most renowned cannabis cultivation regions in Afghanistan, specifically sourced from Farm #2 in the Arghandab area at coordinates 31°44'N 65°45'E, at an elevation of 1000-1200 meters. The Arghandab District is located at the heart of North/Central Kandahar Province and is famous for its highly agricultural terrain, irrigated by the Arghandab and Helmand rivers, which creates ideal conditions for cannabis cultivation. The region experiences a temperate climate with hot, dry summers and cold winters without snowfall, providing perfect growing conditions for traditional Afghan hash plants.

The strain showcases the diverse genetic heritage typical of Kandahar cannabis farms, where growers often allow random cross-pollination between plants and regularly introduce genetics from other provinces like the Hindu Kush regions and Northern Plains of Afghanistan. This breeding approach has created a complex genetic signature that contributes to the strain's unique characteristics and exceptional resin production. The plants are characterized by their broad leaves, short stature, and compact structure, representing the classic Afghan indica phenotype that has been cultivated in this ancestral region by Pashtun tribesmen for centuries. The strain is notable for featuring flush hues of reds and purples on thick, sleeve-like buds that remain resilient throughout the growing season until November harvest.
