Sholgar
Also known as: Shulgar
Sholgar Strain Overview
Sholgar is an authentic Afghan landrace indica strain originating from the Sholgar district of Balkh Province in northern Afghanistan. This strain represents the deep cannabis heritage of the Sholgar region, historically known for producing some of the strongest and most aromatic hashish in the Balkh area. The fertile plains of Sholgar are annually enriched by the Qairang River, which deposits micronutrients and mineral-rich sediments that contribute to the distinct chemical expressions found in local cannabis populations. This strain has been cultivated for centuries in Afghanistan, where it is traditionally smoked in the famous chillum houses of the region and widely used for hashish production. Sholgar exhibits typical indica characteristics with a bushy stature, vigorous branching, and exceptional resin production. The strain has been preserved and made available by multiple seed companies including Afghan Selection, Slabs, and Baaba Qo, who source their genetics directly from Afghanistan. Like other authentic Afghanica varieties, Sholgar represents an important piece of cannabis genetic heritage from one of the world's most renowned hash-producing regions.

Sholgar Strain Growing Information
Sholgar is an easy-to-grow indica-dominant landrace suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor flowering time is approximately 8-11 weeks (67-70 days), with plants adopting a bushy indica stature with vigorous branching and prolific growth. Outdoor cultivation is possible in appropriate climates. Plants are low-maintenance, moderate feeders requiring less fertilizer than modern hybrids. The strain is naturally resistant to mold and diseases, making it beginner-friendly. Plants develop a sturdy frame with thick, hard stems and rarely need support despite producing heavy, resinous buds. Expected yields are medium to high.
