Also known as: A.S.H., ASH
What is the Ash strain?
Ash is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Ash (sometimes spelled A.S.H.) is an indica-dominant hybrid strain bred by Mr. Nice Seeds, created by crossing Afghan Haze and Afghan Skunk. The strain's name is an acronym representing its genetic lineage of Afghani, Skunk, and Haze genetics. Originally intended as a limited edition release, Ash has become a permanent fixture in Mr. Nice Seeds' catalog due to popular demand from cultivators of all skill levels. This strain represents a classic combination of legendary genetic lines, with a composition of approximately 25% Skunk, 50% Afghan, and 25% Haze-Thai/Colombian/Mexican genetics, resulting in a 75% indica and 25% sativa profile.
Ash produces dense, lumpy buds with dusty green coloration, sparse thin orange hairs, and a coating of amber-colored crystal trichomes. The strain is characterized by its fruity, berry aroma with underlying skunky and pungent notes inherited from its Afghani and Skunk lineage. When ground, the buds release additional hash and patchouli aromas from the Afghan genetics. The flavor profile features sweet fruity berry notes with a hazy, skunky exhale that is notably smooth. This strain is particularly valued for its slow-acting, creeping effects that gradually build into deep relaxation and sedation, making it especially suitable for evening use. Ash is noted for its hardy nature, showing excellent resistance to mold and pests, making it an accessible option for novice growers while still rewarding experienced cultivators with substantial yields.
