Jalalabad Star
Also known as: Jalalabad Star #1, JS #1
What is the Jalalabad Star strain?
Jalalabad Star is a indica cannabis strain, known for its cerebral effects and earthy and herbal flavor profile.
Jalalabad Star is an Afghan landrace indica strain with remarkable historical significance, having been preserved since 1989 after being originally collected in 1988 in the area of Salang Pass, Afghanistan, following the disengagement of the Soviet Army. This Old World C. indica ssp. afghanica represents a genuine taste of cannabis history and is considered a delight for any cannabis connoisseur. The strain was developed and preserved by the enigmatic team at ExSitu (Unknown or Legendary), whose creative approach to cannabis breeding has become part of its enduring appeal.
Genetic analyses reveal that Jalalabad Star exhibits similarities to early Afghan and Hindu Kush strains, with a genetic closeness measuring up to 85% indica purity in some reports. The plant presents as a luscious green cultivar overall, though some growers may be fortunate enough to reveal a phenotype displaying exceedingly deep green, almost black colored leaves. The buds are typically dense and compact with a deep green hue, accented by vibrant purple undertones that become more pronounced under cooler growing conditions, and some batches display a frosty layer of trichomes that gives them a sparkling, star-like appearance. The beautiful honey colored flowers invoke happiness and a general sense of well being.

How do you grow Jalalabad Star?
Cultivation difficulty is moderate to advanced, requiring a full four months to mature to harvest for best results. The vegetative stage should last for two months under MH/CMH 400-600W lights. During bloom, both MH/CMH and HPS lights should be utilized together, finishing the flowering stage under HPS lights. The flowering stage typically lasts around 8-9 weeks. When grown indoors, the average plant can reach approximately 50 inches (120 cm) in height. True to its pure Afghani genetics, this is a highly pungent cultivar requiring sufficient ventilation for indoor odor concealment. The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors and was never available as feminized seeds. Training techniques such as low-stress training (LST) and screen of green (SCROG) have been particularly effective, with experienced growers recommending a gradual transition from vegetative to flowering stages using a controlled 12/12 light cycle.
