What is the Mazar strain?
Mazar is a indica cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Mazar is a legendary indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that originated from the Mazar-I-Sharif region of Afghanistan, named after the fourth largest city in Afghanistan known for its vast cannabis farms. First refined in Amsterdam during the 1980s by Dutch Passion, this strain was created by crossing an authentic Afghani landrace with Skunk #1 genetics, resulting in a vigorous plant that produces flowers with deeply relaxing, almost narcotic-like effects. The strain gained international recognition, winning second place at the 1999 High Times Cannabis Cup and the 2002 High Life Cup, establishing it as a true cannabis classic.
Mazar plants exhibit a characteristic Christmas tree structure with thick, heavy side branches that support dense, resinous buds covered in a sticky layer of trichomes. The strain is known for its robust growth characteristics and can reach impressive heights of up to 4 meters (13 feet) when grown outdoors, while remaining more compact indoors. The flowers develop with an extremely resinous coating, making it highly prized for hash production. The plant's appearance features dense, bright green buds with vibrant orange pistils scattered throughout, all encased in a fuzzy but sticky coat of trichomes that gives the buds a frosted appearance.
