Afgooey by Strain Hunters

For years the only way into Afgooey was a cutting passed from grower to grower in Northern California. This pack holds that cut as seed.

Strain Hunters took the celebrated clone-only Afghan x Maui Haze, reversed it and crossed it back onto itself. Because the seed is an S1, it carries the cut's own genes rather than a fresh mix, and the breeder puts it at 70% indica to 30% sativa: an old Afghan hash core with a Hawaiian lift on top.

By the middle of flower the room fills with orange peel, lemon and ripe tropical fruit over a kushy base. The smoke opens earthy, like hash from the old Afghan trail, then turns sweeter and fruitier.

The breeder's description is blunt: very strong, quick to arrive, slow to leave, heady and creative to the point of chaos. It is reported as a lift for apathy and flat moods, and suits an experienced smoker with a free afternoon.

Plants stay short and bushy, with thick branches, dark leaves and internodes under 5 cm, which makes it a natural for sea of green or a screen. The breeder gives eight weeks of flower and up to 0.9 g per watt under a 1000W lamp, while outdoor plants reach 150 to 170 cm and finish around the last week of September in the north. Pear-shaped buds pack in tight, with big calyxes and very thick resin.

Strain Hunters is the seed line of Amsterdam's Green House Seed Co., named after the expedition documentaries Arjan Roskam began filming in 2008.
