Pure Afghan
Also known as: Afghan Kush
Pure Afghan Strain Overview
Pure Afghan is an exclusive landrace indica strain originating from the Mazar-i-Sharif region of Afghanistan, specifically from the Hindu Kush mountain range near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. As one of the few remaining pure landrace strains, Pure Afghan has maintained its genetic integrity for centuries without hybridization, developing naturally in the harsh mountainous conditions of northern Afghanistan. This strain represents one of the foundational genetics in modern cannabis breeding and has served as a parent strain for countless contemporary varieties. Pure Afghan is characterized by its short, bushy structure with broad, fat leaves - evolutionary adaptations for survival in its native harsh alpine environment. The strain produces dense, compact buds covered in sticky resin with a deep green hue and occasional purple flecks, all generously dusted with trichomes. Its appearance reflects classic indica traits with plants staying relatively short and stocky, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain is renowned for its exceptional resin production, which has made it a cornerstone in traditional hashish production in its native region for generations.

Pure Afghan Strain Growing Information
Pure Afghan is considered a grower-friendly strain with moderate difficulty level, suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 7-8 weeks (approximately 53 days) indoors, with outdoor harvest typically ready by early to mid-October. Indoor yields average 12-14 oz per square meter (400-600g/m²), while outdoor plants can produce 14-16 oz per plant under optimal conditions. Plants prefer warm, dry climates similar to their native Afghanistan, thriving in temperatures between 70-85°F with relative humidity of 30-50%. The strain exhibits exceptional hardiness and natural resistance to mold, pests, and environmental stressors due to its landrace genetics. Plants stay short and compact (typically under 1 meter indoors), making them suitable for limited space cultivation. Pure Afghan adapts well to various growing methods including soil, hydroponic, and aeroponic systems, and can handle nutrient loads well due to its robust genetics.
