Purple Afghani
Purple Afghani
Also known as: Purple Afghan Kush, BC Purple Afghani
Overview
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 Originally made available by BC Bud Depot out of Canada, Purple Afghani has become a popular choice on the West Coast and in Colorado dispensaries.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. This strain naturally develops deep blue and purple colors not from temperature manipulation, but from its unique genetic makeup. Purple Afghani provides a mellow body buzz ideal for late nights and lazy days, with effects that are relaxing and sleepy while also promoting creativity and happiness.

Growing Information
Purple Afghani is described as a strong plant that is easy to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The flowering time ranges from 7-9 weeks indoors (56-63 days), with some sources indicating 8-9 weeks specifically. When properly cared for, indoor yields can reach up to 500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600-800 grams per plant. The strain prefers somewhat dry and mild temperature climates, requiring temperatures around 70°F with low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Purple Afghani is hardy and suited for both indoor and outdoor growth, with its compact size being perfect for limited indoor spaces and thriving outdoors in Mediterranean climates. Outdoor harvest typically occurs in late September.
