Mazar Extra
Also known as: Mazar-i-Sharif Extra
What is the Mazar Extra strain?
Mazar Extra is a indica cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and hash flavor profile.
Mazar Extra is a potent indica-dominant cannabis strain that traces its origins to the Mazar-i-Sharif region of Afghanistan, an area renowned for producing some of the world's finest landrace indica genetics. This strain was developed by Dutch Passion, a prominent European seed bank, through selective breeding of traditional Afghani genetics to enhance its resin production, potency, and stability. The name 'Extra' reflects the breeders' efforts to create an intensified version of the classic Mazar-i-Sharif varieties, focusing on maximizing the desirable traits that made the original landrace so prized among hashish producers and connoisseurs.
Visually, Mazar Extra plants exhibit classic indica characteristics with a compact, bushy structure, broad dark green leaves, and dense, resinous buds that are often heavily coated in trichomes. The flowers typically display deep purple hues under certain growing conditions, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The strain is known for its robust growth pattern and resilience, making it suitable for various cultivation environments. Its buds emit a complex aroma that combines earthy, hash-like notes with subtle undertones of spice and pine, reflecting its pure Afghani heritage.
Mazar Extra has gained recognition for its powerful sedative effects and has become a staple among indica enthusiasts seeking deeply relaxing experiences. The strain maintains genetic purity with minimal hybridization, preserving the authentic characteristics of traditional Afghan cannabis. While not as widely commercialized as some modern hybrids, Mazar Extra holds historical significance as a representation of preserved landrace genetics and continues to be valued by breeders for its stable, predictable traits and exceptional resin production.

How do you grow Mazar Extra?
Mazar Extra 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 7-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a warm, dry climate similar to its native Afghanistan. Plants typically remain short to medium in height (80-120 cm indoors, 120-180 cm outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques.
