86 UW Hashplant x Angel Wing Afghan Hashplant
86 UW Hashplant x Angel Wing Afghan Hashplant
Also known as: 86 UW Black Hashplant X Angel Wing Afghan Hashplant
Overview
This strain represents a cross between the legendary 86 UW (University of Washington) Hashplant and Angel Wing Afghan Hashplant. The UW cut is reported to have been obtained by a grower family who had it 'smuggled out of the UW' in 1978, described as a 'true Afghany' and one of the 'beefiest, tasty sweet' strains ever. The UW strain comes with a legendary origin story where a clone plant was reportedly stolen from a Pacific Northwest university's medical research lab in the early nineties, producing dense, sticky buds with purple coloring and sedative effects popular for pain relief and insomnia. The Angel Wing Afghan component is notable for having a 'Super Sativa Structure which is Rare for an Afghan Line', making this cross particularly unique in combining traditional indica Afghan genetics with unusual structural characteristics. The selected female was reported to smell like fruity pebbles and earthy kush, with 'insanely wild' terpenes and flowers covered in tacky resin.

Growing Information
As a cross of two indica-dominant hashplant varieties, this strain likely exhibits compact growth patterns typical of Afghan genetics. Hashplant varieties are characterized by close spacing between nodes, which is a way to identify an Afghan as opposed to a hybrid. Expected flowering time would likely be in the 7-9 week range typical of hashplant genetics, with heavy resin production suitable for hash making. The unique sativa structure of the Angel Wing parent may contribute to slightly more stretch than typical pure Afghan varieties. Indoor cultivation recommended for optimal control of environmental conditions.
