OG LA Affie
OG LA Affie
Also known as: LA Affie, Afghan Bombay Kush
Overview
OG LA Affie, also known as Afghan Bombay Kush, is a legendary pure indica cannabis strain developed by DNA Genetics. This strain holds significant historical importance in cannabis genetics, being most famous as one of the parent strains of the renowned LA Confidential. Originally developed circa 1978 by a Northern California breeder named Johnny Que, OG LA Affie represents a three-way genetic combination of heirloom Lemon Thai, Pakistani landrace, and Colombian Gold genetics, creating a distinctive fuel and lemon aroma profile similar to what made OG Kush famous. The strain predates the California OG craze by several years, making it one of the first verified cuts of its kind in cannabis history.
OG LA Affie presents as a classic indica with dense, small, pebble-shaped buds that are light mint-green in color with rich purple undertones throughout. The buds feature long, thin bright orange hairs and are covered in a fine layer of chunky crystal trichomes. Despite its 100% indica genetics, this strain is notable for producing unusually energetic and psychedelic effects that are uncharacteristic of typical indica varieties. The high begins with a quick-acting cerebral rush that is intensely energetic with psychedelic tendencies, which can surprise users expecting traditional indica sedation. This initial euphoric head high gradually transitions into a relaxing, stoney body high that leads to couch-lock and deep sedation, making it particularly effective for evening use and medical applications.

Growing Information
OG LA Affie is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, requiring experience and attention to detail. The strain has a relatively fast flowering time of 7-8 weeks (45-56 days), which is quicker than many photoperiod strains. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with indoor yields ranging from 350-450 grams per square meter. The plant exhibits typical indica characteristics with wide leaves, short and bushy structure, and compact growth. OG LA Affie is known to be a heavy feeder, requiring significant amounts of nutrients to reach its full THC potential. Regular trimming of large fan leaves during the later flowering stage is recommended to maximize light penetration to lower buds and increase overall yield. Pre-vegetative period extension is advised to maximize yields. The strain produces two main phenotypes, both finishing within the same timeframe. Plants prefer warm, dry conditions when grown outdoors and require consistent light schedules for indoor cultivation.
