Classic Afghani line developed in northern Europe, where it was selected for its quality, fast flowering and excellent adaptability against the adverse conditions of northern climates.
It is a very ornamental hash plant, that can get multitude of colors in the leaves, stems and flowers in late flowering. It ripens very quickly, producing hard and resinous buds with coffee, earthy, piney and hashy aromas. The effect is relaxing Afghan type, of moderate strength and high therapeutical value.
As is often the case with traditional hashplants, ErdPurt produces interesting chemotypes with THC and CBD in different proportions at the population level, where balanced THC/CBD chemotypes are the most common, although occasionally THC-rich (no CBD) or CBD-rich (no THC) individuals are also found.
ErdPurt is an excellent Afghani for outdoor growing in altitude or northern latitudes, where the cold, wind and rain doesn't allow most of the Afghani indoor strains to ripe properly.
Strain FAQ
What makes a cannabis strain cold-resistant?
Cold-weather cannabis strains come from severe environments like the Hindu Kush or Russian steppes. These evolved genetic modifications thicken their leaves and strengthen the structure, protecting against cold.
How does a strain's genetics affect its coffee flavours?
Coffee-tasting strains' effects and flavour profiles depend on their Indica and Sativa genetics. While Sativa-dominant strains may reportedly energise, Indica-dominant strains may reportedly calm.
Why has Afghan Kush historically produced hashish?
Afghan Kush's high resin content is due to its long history of hashish farming. The strain's sticky, resinous buds are reportedly ideal for manufacturing charas and other traditional hash forms which is a cultural custom in the area.
Can greenhouse cannabis strains create microclimates?
Fascinatingly it is reported that some strains adjust their greenhouse environment to suit them. This ability to adapt to microclimates can reportedly produce distinctive plant qualities like bright colours and bud structures. There are those that say that a greenhouse can bring out the best in cannabis.
Why are early-finishing strains generally hardy?
These hardy, fast-maturing cultivars can endure late-summer conditions that would damage more delicate types. Surviving in variable climates requires resilience, which these strains have in abundance.
