Owing to her elevated levels of cannabinoid production, which is the result of crossing our own Afghan Kush, a 100% indica strain which comes from kush strains grown in a small area of northern Afghanistan in the Hindu Kush mountain range, with the mythical Skunk#1, which was the first real indica-sativa hybrid comprising Afghan, Mexican and Colombian genetics and which changed the face of cannabis culture across the globe; Afghan Kush x Skunk is highly valued for her therapeutic properties.
Stunningly exuberant, this plant can reach 2m and is characterised by the density of her buds that are covered in beautiful resin glands. Get ready to learn the true meaning of hybrid vigour. If Afghan Kushes are defined by their medicinal benefits, crossing this strain with Skunk (the first real Indica-Sativa hybrid) increases yields and multiplies her therapeutic value.
Strain FAQ
Do all 100% Indica strains taste and act the same?
Despite being Indica, there's remarkable variation! These strains' rich genetic ancestry, formed by their local microclimates, yields a wide range of flavours, fragrances, and effects, indicating there's an Indica for every palate and preference!
How do woodsy flavours affect cannabis taste?
Woodsy taste enhances taste and smell and may interact with cannabinoids to create unique effects. The entourage effect suggests a more nuanced experience when terpenes and cannabinoids interact.
Do terpene profiles affect mould resistance?
Mold-resistant strains have specific terpene profiles that help them resist mould. Terpenes with antifungal activity in particular can help prevent mould growth.
How do hybrid strains complicate cannabis genetics?
Hybrids complicate the genetic environment beyond just Indica and Sativa. By crossbreeding numerous generations, hybrids have developed many traits from both parents, creating polyhybrid strains. Genetic variety gives the cannabis family tree many interesting relatives!
What role does selective breeding play in greenhouse strain development?
Breeders for greenhouse cultivation obviously select traits that thrive in that environment. They generally select strains with compact growth to fit more plants and early blooming to match the greenhouse's light schedule.
