HTAF
Also known as: High Times Afghan, H-T-A-F
HTAF Strain Overview
HTAF, commonly known as High Times Afghan, is a pure indica cannabis strain that traces its origins to the mountainous regions of Afghanistan. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to preserve and refine the classic Afghan genetics that have been cultivated in the Hindu Kush region for centuries. HTAF represents a stabilized phenotype selection from traditional Afghan landrace varieties, bred specifically for consistency in growth characteristics, potency, and therapeutic effects.
The strain is characterized by its compact, bushy structure typical of pure indicas, with dense, resinous buds that exhibit deep green coloration often accented by purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance and sticky texture. HTAF typically has a relatively short flowering period compared to many modern hybrids, making it appealing to cultivators seeking efficient production cycles.
Notable features of HTAF include its robust growth pattern, resistance to common pests and molds, and consistent expression of classic indica traits. The strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for preserving the authentic characteristics of traditional Afghan cannabis, which has been increasingly diluted in many modern hybrid varieties. HTAF serves as both a recreational strain and a valuable breeding resource for those seeking to incorporate pure indica genetics into their projects.

HTAF Strain Growing Information
HTAF is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 7-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Plants remain relatively short, usually reaching 3-4 feet in height indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. HTAF prefers a warm, dry climate similar to its native Afghan environment and is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain produces moderate to high yields of dense, resinous buds. Special considerations include maintaining low humidity during flowering to prevent mold, providing good air circulation, and using training techniques to maximize light penetration to lower branches. HTAF responds well to low-stress training and can benefit from a slightly longer vegetative period to increase yield potential.
