A cross between 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, and a stabilised White Widow hybrid, which is a cross between Indian and Brazilian genetics, White Widow dominated the worldwide cannabis scene for more than 10 years. Afghan Kush x White Widow is a compact, medium-sized plant that produces a copious amount of highly therapeutic trichomes that give off a unique aroma of forest fruits. While White Widow is, in herself, a blessing for her therapeutic benefits, blending her with Afghan Kush makes her highly recommended for medicinal applications.
Strain FAQ
Why are Pest-resistant strains better for the environment?
Pest-resistant cannabis strains generally promote organic and sustainable growing. These cultivars reduce synthetic pesticide use, improving ecosystems and lowering cannabis' environmental impact.
Does environmental stress impact cannabis' therapeutic properties?
Cannabis plants can increase cannabinoid and terpene production to combat UV radiation and water shortages. The atmosphere may enhance a plant's medical properties, adding to cannabis' complexity.
Why is flowering time important for phenotypic expression?
Terpenes and cannabinoids, which give plants their flavours and effects, develop during flowering. This time is said to ensure a complete manifestation of the plant's potential by allowing for a richer, more nuanced profile than faster-flowering strains.
What is responsible for the taste's woodsiness?
One of the most common terpenes in cannabis, myrcene, gives the woodsy profile an earthy and musky undertone. It adds complexity to the aroma's base notes.
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.
