Afghani #1 Automatic
Afghani #1 Automatic
Also known as: Afghan #1 Automatic, Afghani Nr.1 Automatic
Overview
Afghani #1 Automatic is an indica-dominant autoflowering strain developed by the renowned Sensi Seeds through crossing their classic Afghani #1 with Cannabis ruderalis genetics. This strain represents a monumental achievement in cannabis breeding, combining the legendary traits of Hindu Kush landrace genetics with the convenience of autoflowering characteristics. The original Afghani genetics trace back to the mountainous regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan, where cannabis plants have been selectively bred for centuries for their exceptional resin production, potency, and resilience. Sensi Seeds' decision to incorporate ruderalis genetics was driven by a desire to introduce autoflowering capabilities without compromising the iconic traits of Afghani indica. Historical records suggest that classic Afghani varieties have been selectively bred since the 1960s, making this modern autoflower a culmination of decades of cannabis cultivation expertise.
The strain exhibits the classic characteristics of true Afghan indica genetics - compact stature, dense foliage, and exceptional resin production that made its ancestors famous as "hash plants." Afghani #1 Automatic exhibits distinct morphological characteristics that reassure growers of its prestigious lineage. The plants typically manifest a compact bushy structure that is ideal for indoor cultivation. The dense foliage is interspersed with vibrant green hues, and the buds are encrusted with a generous amount of trichomes. The autoflowering nature makes it particularly suitable for novice growers and those with limited space, as it requires no photoperiod manipulation and maintains the robust, low-maintenance characteristics of its Afghan heritage while completing its entire lifecycle in approximately 11-12 weeks from seed to harvest.

Growing Information
Afghani #1 Automatic is exceptionally beginner-friendly and well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain features a compact, bushy structure ideal for limited spaces and stealth grows. Between 11 and 12 weeks from germination to harvest. The autoflowering qualities bred into Afghani #1 Automatic will cause plants to begin flowering after only 5 to 7 weeks of vegetative growth. Once the flowering phase is triggered, this high-yielding indica heavyweight finishes quickly, filling its frame with tight knots of bud. Those buds will reach full sized maturity with another 7 to 9 weeks of flowering, which makes it possible to cultivate this strain from seedling to harvest in as little as 12 weeks! Indoors, yields can reach up to 500 g/m². Outdoors, each plant can produce more than 150 g. The strain is highly resistant to mold and stress, requires minimal nutrients, and thrives in temperatures between 22-26°C with 40-50% humidity. Plants typically double in height during flowering and should not be topped due to their autoflowering nature.
