What is the Mazar I Sharif strain?

Mazar I Sharif is a indica cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Mazar I Sharif is a legendary hybrid cannabis strain that combines Afghani landrace genetics with Skunk #1 lineage, created in the 1980s in Amsterdam. Named after the city of Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan where the strain reportedly originated, this strain represents one of the most significant contributions of Central Asian cannabis genetics to modern cultivation. The Mazar-i-Sharif region lies in the Balkh area of northern Afghanistan, the historic heartland of Afghan cannabis culture and part of the ancient Central Asian homeland of the world's original hashish culture. Afghan farmers traditionally harvest Mazar-i-Sharif to produce the legendary 'Shirak-i-Mazar' ('Milk of Mazar') charas, considered among the finest old-school hashish.

Mazar I Sharif is an indica-dominant hybrid with a sativa/indica ratio of 20:80, though some sources consider it a 100% Indica strain despite its potential to grow up to 400 centimeters tall with characteristics more associated with landrace Sativa genetics. The strain is characterized by bright green spade-shaped buds that become covered with frosty trichomes during flowering, with orange pistils standing out against forest green leaves. Characteristic traits include red stems and pink-red stigmas, making it visually distinctive among cannabis varieties.
