Original Afghani #1 is a product of Sacred Seeds in the 1970s, representing a traditional land-race cannabis and a pioneering example of a stable, true-breeding indica in the West. It's known for dense, resinous buds ideal for hashish production. Over the past four decades, it has adapted to outdoor growth in the USA and Europe, thanks to selective breeding enhancing traits like resin production and early flowering.
Widely utilized by the Sensi Seed Bank among others, Original Afghani #1 has contributed to the creation of numerous indica-dominant strains. It showcases vigorous vegetative growth while maintaining a squat stature with a strong stem to withstand wind, paired with a distinct, rich aroma. As a true-breeding indica, it serves as very reliable breeding stock.

Strain FAQ
Why has Afghan Kush historically been used to produce 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.
Why are IBL strains so important?
IBL strains help preserve legacy or landrace strains, which have evolved to adapt to certain geographical settings over centuries. IBLs of these heritage strains can preserve their genetic profiles and features, protecting valuable genetics in a hybridised market.
What are the advantages of Indica strains?
Indica strains flower faster than Sativas, making them ideal for legal growers in a hurry! Indicas, ready in 8–10 weeks, allow for numerous harvests per year, keeping the cycle flowing with less effort.
