Double Afghani
Also known as: Double Afghan, Double Afghan Delight
Double Afghani Strain Overview
Double Afghani is a pure indica strain that traces its lineage directly to the mountainous regions of Afghanistan, where cannabis has been cultivated for centuries. This strain represents a stabilized and refined version of traditional Afghan landrace genetics, selectively bred to enhance its desirable characteristics while maintaining the classic traits of its ancestral origins. The strain was developed through careful selection of the most potent and resinous phenotypes from Afghan genetics, resulting in a cultivar that embodies the quintessential qualities of traditional hash-producing varieties from the Hindu Kush region.
Visually, Double Afghani plants exhibit the classic indica structure with broad, dark green leaves and dense, compact buds that are heavily coated in trichomes. The flowers typically display deep purple hues in cooler temperatures, with orange pistils weaving through the resinous calyxes. The strain is renowned for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, hash-like notes with subtle undertones of spice and wood, characteristic of traditional Afghan varieties. When properly cured, the buds release a complex fragrance that many enthusiasts associate with high-quality hashish production.
Double Afghani is particularly valued for its consistency and reliability, both in cultivation and effects. The strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for preserving the authentic characteristics of traditional Afghan genetics while offering improved stability and potency compared to some landrace varieties. Its robust nature and predictable effects have made it a favorite among medicinal users seeking consistent relief, as well as recreational users who appreciate classic indica experiences. The strain's genetic purity makes it valuable for breeding programs aimed at preserving or enhancing indica traits in hybrid creations.

Double Afghani Strain Growing Information
Double Afghani is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a relatively short flowering time of 7-8 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in warm, dry climates similar to its native Afghan environment. Plants remain relatively compact, typically reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 120-150 cm outdoors, making them suitable for space-limited grows. Double Afghani responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training, which can help maximize yields. The plants are generally resistant to common molds and pests, though good air circulation is recommended to prevent bud rot in dense colas. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering phase.
