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
What is the history of these early-finishing strains?
Many of these strains are descendants of landrace strains that evolved in certain regions over generations. Breeders have used these old genetic features to generate hybrids that flower early and offer new tastes, effects, and disease resistance.
How have South American strains adapted to high altitude?
In the Andes, certain South American cannabis strains still thrive despite the height. The plant's evolved abilities includes growing in low-oxygen, colder environments.
What gives some cannabis strains their woodsy taste and smell?
Woodsy cannabis strains smell like forests thanks to terpenes like Alpha-Pinene, Beta-Pinene, Myrcene, and Humulene. These organic compounds give it a rich, woodsy smell like a walk in the woods or freshly cut timber.
Why do some mould-resistant strains grow quickly?
Mold-resistant cultivars with shorter flowering periods have been bred to reduce high moisture exposure. Strategically, this fast development cycle is said to allow plants to be legally harvested before mould growth begins.
What makes most short-flowering strains Indica or Indica-dominant?
Shorter flowering times than Sativas make Indica strains or their hybrid progeny reportedly ideal for fast harvests. Indica strains have this trait due to the cold northern climates they evolved in.
