Nordle (Afghan Skunk) Cannabis Seeds from Mr Nice Seeds

During the 1960’s and early 1970’s, the best hashish in the world was purchased in tea-houses in Afghanistan. Its resin was sticky, its colour and texture were pure, its tangy taste was as sweet as honey from heaven, and its high was a dreamer’s paradise. The country’s ruler, King Saber Shah, loved it. In 1973, the king was ousted. In 1979, the Russians invaded, and the country’s troubles deteriorated. So did the hashish, which soon became a clumsy mixture of a variety of resins from different plants, idly and slovenly screened, and held together by animal fat. I first smuggled Afghan hashish in 1970. For reasons I never fully understood, we referred to it over the phone as “Nordle”. The contents of this packet are designed to bring those forgotten wonders of the 1960’s into your grow-rooms and into your consciousness.

Flowering period: Indoor flowering we found certain plants finishing in 6 weeks but this was extreme...what would be normal would be 7-9 weeks. Grown outside in the Northern Hemisphere early to mid October but watch out for rains...and mould. In the Southern Hemisphere March or early April would be expected.
Recommendations: For the inexperienced growers to the most advanced. Especially for greenhouse growers worldwide or short outdoor seasons.
Special Notes: This hybrid is probably one of the most consistently good alrounders.It has diverse uses and since it was named by Howard as a tribute to the good old days...well what more is there to add?

Strain FAQ

Do environmental conditions alter cannabis' tanginess?

Yes, climate affects limonene and valencene expression. These terpenes reportedly increase in warmer areas, boosting the strain's tanginess.

What's the deal with spectral sensitivity in 12/12 photoperiod strains?

It's fascinating to know that 12/12 photoperiod strains may have a favourite colour! Changing the light spectrum during blooming can apparently boost cannabinoid and terpene production, increasing both quality and yield.

Why do strains finish at the Beginning of October?

These genetically engineered strains flower earlier to prevent late fall cold and shorter days. Northern legal producers use it to ensure their plants finish their cycle in time to avoid seasonal environmental issues.

How have indica strains adapted to the cold environmental conditions?

The tight, compact buds of indica strains are more than just attractive—they protect against the cold. This compact bud structure keeps cold, damp air out, preventing mould and keeping plants healthy in cold weather.

Are regular seeds a good sustainable choice?

Regular seeds are wonderful because they can produce a cycle of male and female plants that can be passed down through the generations without the need to constantly buy fresh seeds.
