Blue Afghani
Blue Afghani
Also known as: Blueberry Afghani
Overview
Blue Afghani is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing the legendary Blueberry strain with classic Afghani genetics. Bred by Jordan of the Islands in Canada, this strain combines the best characteristics of both parent strains, resulting in a uniquely flavorful and potent cannabis variety. The strain inherits the robust, sedative qualities and hardy growing characteristics from its Afghani landrace heritage, while the Blueberry genetics contribute distinctive sweet berry flavors and attractive blue-purple coloration. Blue Afghani typically features dense, resin-coated buds with a rich green base adorned with hints of blue and purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during flowering. The strain is renowned for its complex aromatic profile that blends the earthy, hash-like characteristics of traditional Afghan cannabis with the sweet, fruity notes of premium Blueberry varieties. As an indica-dominant hybrid with approximately 70-75% indica genetics and 25-30% sativa influence, Blue Afghani offers users a balanced experience that begins with subtle cerebral uplift before transitioning into deep physical relaxation.

Growing Information
Blue Afghani is considered relatively easy to cultivate, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers. The strain typically flowers in 55-65 days (8-9 weeks) and produces medium-sized plants that grow 3-5 feet tall. It is hardy and mold-resistant, inheriting the resilience of its Afghani genetics. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with indoor yields reaching up to 500g/m² and outdoor plants capable of producing 15+ ounces per plant. Blue Afghani thrives in Mediterranean climates and can tolerate cooler temperatures better than average, with cold nights actually promoting the blue and purple coloration. The plants produce dense, resinous buds with copious trichome production. Harvest timing should be guided by trichome observation, with most growers targeting mostly cloudy trichomes for balanced effects.
