Seb's take
Afghani crossed with Skunk for the rare cannabis trifecta: strong yield, quick flowering, and genuine ease of growth. Sweet and pungent on the nose, earthy beneath; the high is calming and euphoric, relaxed without tipping into oblivion. Seven weeks to flower, and over 600g/m² for the patience.
Where it comes from
Royal Queen Seeds built this one on the oldest reliable pairing in the book — Afghani crossed with Skunk — and chased the rare cannabis trifecta: strong yield, quick flowering and genuine ease of growth. It is a combination that seldom lines up, and here it does. A 60% indica that practically runs itself, and the sort of plant a first-timer can lean on without a nervous night.
Nose & flavour
Sweet up front, with a pungent Skunk edge behind it and a bed of earth underneath — the classic old-school profile the parentage promises. Nothing exotic, nothing fussy, just a full and honest nose of the sort that built the Skunk name in the first place.
The high
Calming and euphoric, relaxed without tipping into oblivion — a measured, even sort of high that settles you without switching off the lights. She keeps enough clarity to remain good company, and enough weight to make the armchair look inviting by the end of it.
Growing it
Seven weeks to flower — 49 to 63 days — and she rewards the sea-of-green style with over 600 g/m², packing plants close for a resin-coated canopy. Height runs 80 to 140cm. She practically grows herself, which makes her ideal for a beginner: plant her, and you can largely stand back. The trifecta is no marketing line here — she delivers on all three counts, which is more than most manage on one.
