Double Affie
Also known as: Double Afghan, Double Afghani
Double Affie Strain Overview
Double Affie is a potent indica-dominant cannabis strain that traces its lineage to traditional Afghan landrace genetics. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to amplify the classic characteristics of Afghan cannabis, resulting in a cultivar that emphasizes the sedative, relaxing properties for which Afghan varieties are renowned. Its name reflects the intentional doubling of Afghan genetics, creating a strain with pronounced indica traits and a robust cannabinoid profile.
The plant typically displays dense, resinous buds with deep green coloration often accented by purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are compact and heavily frosted with trichomes, giving them a sticky, crystalline appearance. The aroma is distinctly earthy and musky with notes of hashish, sandalwood, and spice, characteristic of its Afghan heritage. The flavor profile follows suit, offering a smooth, hash-like smoke with undertones of pine and sweet herbs.
Double Affie is known for its relatively short flowering time and resilience, making it a favorite among growers seeking traditional indica characteristics. While not as widely commercialized as some modern hybrids, it maintains a following among enthusiasts of classic landrace-derived strains and those seeking deeply relaxing effects. The strain's genetics have also been used in breeding programs to impart stability and potency to other cultivars.

Double Affie Strain Growing Information
Double Affie is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a relatively short flowering time of 7-8 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. The plant tends to stay compact and bushy, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. It produces moderate to high yields of dense, resinous buds when grown in optimal conditions.
This strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a dry, temperate climate similar to its native Afghan region. It is relatively resistant to common molds and pests, though good air circulation is recommended to prevent bud rot in dense colas. The plant responds well to low-stress training (LST) techniques to maximize light penetration and yield. Growers should be cautious with nutrients, as Double Affie can be sensitive to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering phase.
