How to grow Afghan Hash Plant
Taste
Seb's take
Pure Afghan stock, kept simple, and named for the obvious use — this is a hash plant first, a smoke second. Wood, floral citrus and pine sit over an earthy, hash-like base; the effect relaxes hard and settles into calm. Ideal, by all accounts, for extracts such as RSO.
Where it comes from
Pure Afghan stock, kept simple, from Barney's Farm — and named for the obvious use. This is a hash plant first and a smoke second, bred for the resin that hashish demands rather than for novelty. A full indica with a straightforward pedigree; there is no cross to unpick, only a well-chosen landrace line. Classic in smell, taste and appearance, exactly as the name promises.
Nose & flavour
Wood and a floral citrus lift sit over an earthy, hash-like base, with a hint of pine threaded through. It is a classic, unadorned indica nose — resinous and grounded rather than sweet or loud. The hash character is plain in it, which is rather the point. Old-school throughout.
The high
Relaxed, focused and calming — a hard-hitting settle that eases the body while leaving the mind steady. It brings a measure of peace to the day rather than knocking you sideways, though the effect does not want for strength. The sitting-down sort, arrived at gently.
Growing it
A short, tidy plant at 80 to 100cm, easy to house. Flowering is fast at 50 to 60 days, true to the Afghan reputation. Yields land at 500 g/m². THC sits at 21 percent, with a notable 1.5 percent CBD. Being a resin-heavy hash plant, she will gum up your scissors, and she is a well-regarded choice for extracts. Regular seed, so males are in the mix — but the temperament is as unfussy as the flavour.
