Purple Afghani is an indica-dominant hybrid with a sativa/indica ratio of approximately 25:75, created as a cross between Purple Kush and the Afghani landrace strain. This strain is an inbred descendant of original Afghani landrace genetics, developed to produce the distinctive purple coloring and robust characteristics that define it. Originally made available by BC Bud Depot out of Canada, Purple Afghani has become a popular choice on the West Coast and in Colorado dispensaries. The buds are notably heavy and thick with a dense layer of crystals, taking on purple hues due to their specific genetic combination.
