STRNG Seeds – Afghani

Afghani is one of the foundational genetics in breeding, known for its deeply relaxing profile, compact size, and incredibly resinous buds. It’s prized for its purity, stability, and old-school reliability.

The scent is rich and earthy with notes of pine sap, hash, and subtle spice. As flowering progresses, a musky sweetness emerges, giving it a deep, incense-like presence.

Afghani has a bold, hash-forward flavor with undertones of cedar, earth, and faint herbal sweetness. It leaves a smooth, spicy aftertaste that lingers.

It’s a pure or near-pure indica, with all the classic traits—short structure, broad leaves, fast flowering, and a calming, body-focused profile.

Growers often describe Afghani as deeply soothing and heavy-bodied. It’s known for producing a peaceful, grounding atmosphere, making it a go-to for end-of-day unwinding.

While newer hybrids focus on exotic flavors, Afghani delivers old-school potency and simplicity. It’s less flashy but more consistent, with reliable structure and a dense, hashy terpene profile.

Buds are rock-hard, compact, and dripping with trichomes. They range from olive green to deep forest tones, often with dark orange pistils and minimal fluff.

It stays short and stout, usually between 60–90 cm. It’s one of the most compact strains, making it ideal for small grow tents or stealth indoor setups.

Flowering takes 7–8 weeks indoors. Outdoors, it finishes early—typically by late September—making it a good option for short-season growers.

Yes. While it’s not as sharp as citrus or fruit strains, the earthy-spicy aroma builds steadily and becomes quite strong during the final two weeks of bloom.

Feminized seeds are bred to produce only female plants, eliminating the chance of males in your crop and ensuring all energy goes toward bud production.

Look for milky trichomes with 10–20% amber and darkened pistils. The smell will become more intense and the buds will firm up noticeably.

Absolutely. Its resilience, short height, and forgiving nature make it a top pick for new growers looking to master the basics.

Yes, it’s a photoperiod strain and requires a 12/12 light schedule indoors to trigger and maintain flowering.

It’s generally hardy and mold-resistant, but because of its dense buds, good airflow and humidity control are still essential to prevent moisture issues.

Afghani performs excellently indoors due to its compact frame, but also finishes quickly outdoors—especially in dry, temperate climates.

Minimal training is needed, but it responds well to topping or SOG (Sea of Green) methods. Its natural shape is ideal for dense canopy formation.

Afghani thrives under full-spectrum LEDs or HPS lights in the 600–1000 PPFD range. Strong, consistent light boosts its trichome production and bud density.

Maintain temps between 21–26°C. Keep humidity around 55% during veg, dropping to 40–45% in flower to protect dense buds.

Water when the top inch of soil is dry. It prefers a consistent schedule with thorough drainage—especially during late flowering.
