How to grow Afghan Kush Special
Taste
Seb's take
A rigorous once-over of Afghan Kush stock, bred from especially vigorous specimens for more of everything already on offer. The trademark taste and aroma hold firm, only with heavier resin and a stone somehow deeper still. Pure Indica, refined rather than reinvented.
Where it comes from
A rigorous once-over of Afghan Kush stock, from World of Seeds — bred from especially vigorous male and female specimens to concentrate what the line already does well. There is no new cross here; this is Afghan Kush refined rather than reinvented, selected for more resin and a deeper effect. A full indica, improved along its own grain. Selection as the whole of the story.
Nose & flavour
No specific flavour notes are recorded, so none are invented here. The parentage promises the trademark Afghan Kush spread — earthy, resinous, incense-tinged — held and, by the breeder's account, intensified. The character of the line, carried faithfully, is what to expect.
The high
Effect notes are likewise absent from the record. What the breeding aims at is a stone even deeper than the standard Afghan Kush — a heavier, more sedative indica settle, on the strength of the added resin. Rather than catalogue an experience the record omits, one defers to that intent: the sitting-down sort, more so than most.
Growing it
The selection shows in the resin — heavier than the standard line, which means she will gum up your scissors in short order. Flowering runs 55 to 60 days. Yields land at 500 g/m². THC sits at 20 percent. No height figure is recorded, though the pure-indica build points toward a compact, sturdy plant. A refined, dependable Afghan for a grower who wants more of a known quantity.
