The One
Also known as: Thai x Afghan, The 1, BC1
What is the The One strain?
The One is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
The One is a legendary perfectly balanced F1 hybrid cannabis strain originally bred by Clackamas Coots (CC) in the mid-1980s. This historic strain combines two cornerstone landrace genetics: 1976 Highland Thai Stick and 1971 Pre-Soviet Kandahar Afghani. The strain originated from a BOEL (Brotherhood of Eternal Love) project when Clackamas Coots collected seeds from what he described as the most beautiful cannabis plant he had ever seen during the Gulf War in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The original cut dates from 1984 and represents an F1 landrace hybrid that has never been watered down through generations of modern hybridization.
The One is renowned for its unique and complex terpene profile that sets it apart from contemporary strains. The strain produces dense, resinous buds with a thick frosting of trichomes inherited from its Afghan lineage, while maintaining the sativa vigor from its Thai heritage. Appearance-wise, the buds are popcorn-shaped with beautiful green and purple hues, covered in sparkling trichomes. This clone-only strain has remained within a select circle of Oregon breeders and growers for decades, making it extremely rare and highly sought after. The One has been used as breeding stock for numerous crosses and is considered one of the finest examples of old-school landrace genetics preserved from the 1970s era.

How do you grow The One?
The One is considered moderately difficult to grow, requiring experienced cultivation techniques. As a balanced hybrid of landrace genetics, it exhibits vigorous growth patterns with both indica and sativa characteristics. The flowering time typically ranges from 10-12 weeks, reflecting its pure landrace heritage that hasn't been bred for faster finishing times like modern strains. Indoor yields are generally medium, while outdoor plants can produce substantial harvests when grown in optimal conditions. The strain prefers warm, Mediterranean-like climates and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Plants tend to stretch significantly during the first weeks of flowering due to their sativa heritage.
