Description

Balkh Hash Plant regular seeds is one of the most well-known Afghan cannabis strains, and it’s said to have been grown for centuries. This legendary strain has been used to make some of the most renowned hashish in the world.

Afghanistan has a longstanding tradition of hash that dates back to antiquity. Furthermore, there are many excellent varieties of sieved hashish, such as the popular “Milk of Mazar” and the “Old Golden One.” The city of Balkh is said to be where Baba Ku, a famous healer who first brought cannabis to Afghanistan, is buried.

Landrace Genetics, a central Asian landrace expert, personally acquired these regular marijuana seeds near the city of Balkh in 2018. The Khalifa team has since been adapting this strain for indoor growing by reducing hermaphroditism and decreasing the number of undesirable phenotypes while preserving much of the genetic diversity. Thanks to its high genetic diversity, the Balkh landrace can be extremely useful to pheno hunters and breeders looking for rare gems.

This Balkh cultivar is easy to grow and flowers relatively quickly. At first the plants all look very similar. As they flower, they start displaying a wide array of aromas, shapes and colours. Not unlike other Northern Afghan heirloom strains, the plants can have broad to narrow leaves. The fastest-flowering phenotypes usually have broad leaflets and are medium producers. However, the longer flowering plants can be very high-yielding.

As they flower, about 10% of the Balkh landrace plants gradually turn black. Towards the end of the flowering cycle, some plants are completely black on both leaves and flowers. These Afghani plants are low-maintenance and moderate feeders, they need less fertilizer than most modern hybrids.

Although the buds can be quite heavy, the plants rarely need support. Their frame is very sturdy with a large, robust main stem. The stems are so thick and hard that the plants could easily support 4x more weight! For that reason, Balkh Hash Plant can withstand very high winds.

Similar to other pure Afghan landraces, this variety typically produces a very clear stone and pleasant body relaxation. Unlike many modern Indica-dominant hybrids, the effect isn’t couch-lock but rather relaxing and insightful. Potency vary according to the THC:CBD ratio. The plants range from high CBD-low THC all the way to low CBD-high THC.
