Pure L.A. Affie
Also known as: LA Affie, Pure LA Affie, Los Angeles Affie
Pure L.A. Affie Strain Overview
Pure L.A. Affie is a classic indica-dominant cannabis strain that traces its origins to the Los Angeles cannabis scene of the 1990s. The strain is believed to be a phenotype or stabilized version of the original 'LA Affie' (short for LA Afghan), which itself descended from Afghan landrace genetics brought to California during the 1970s and 1980s. This strain represents a preservation of traditional Afghan indica characteristics, maintaining the robust growth patterns and resin production for which these landrace plants are known. The name 'Affie' is a common abbreviation for 'Afghani' within cannabis cultivation circles, indicating its genetic heritage.
Visually, Pure L.A. Affie typically displays dense, chunky buds with a deep green coloration often accented by purple hues that emerge in cooler temperatures. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance and sticky texture. The leaves are broad and dark green, characteristic of indica varieties. The plant structure is compact and bushy, with strong lateral branching that makes it suitable for various training techniques. The aroma profile is distinctly earthy and hash-like, with notes of pine and spice that reflect its Afghan heritage.
Pure L.A. Affie has maintained a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate traditional indica effects and flavors. While not as commercially widespread as some modern hybrids, it remains valued for its reliable genetics and consistent performance. The strain is particularly noted for its resin production, making it suitable for extraction purposes. As with many heritage strains, precise documentation of its development is limited, and different breeders may offer variations under similar names, though all share the common Afghan genetic foundation.

Pure L.A. Affie Strain Growing Information
Pure L.A. Affie is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 9 weeks indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plant prefers a warm, dry climate similar to its Afghan origins and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plant remains relatively short, usually reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors. It responds well to low-stress training (LST) and topping techniques to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and avoiding overwatering, as the plant is somewhat drought-tolerant. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to nitrogen excess during flowering.
