Afghani Heirloom
Afghani Heirloom
Also known as: Skunk Spray Afghani, Heirloom Afghani S1
Overview
Afghani Heirloom is a rare pure indica landrace strain developed by Riot Seeds, representing an authentic genetic line from the late 1980s to early 1990s Afghan cannabis heritage. This strain traces its origins to the Hindu Kush mountain range of Afghanistan, where it evolved naturally over centuries without crossbreeding. The particular phenotype preserved in this heirloom line is distinguished by its extremely pungent aromatic profile, described as having intense skunk spray, burnt rubber, and ammonia-like scents that have become increasingly rare in modern cannabis cultivation. The breeder notes that it took over a decade to relocate this exact phenotype, emphasizing its historical significance and rarity. The strain represents pure, unadulterated Afghan genetics that have remained stable for generations, making it valuable both as a standalone variety and as breeding stock for developing new hybrids. Afghani Heirloom plants are characterized by their dense, resinous buds with exceptional trichome production and compact indica structure typical of mountain-adapted cannabis varieties.

Growing Information
Afghani Heirloom is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks (60 days). The strain is known for being grower-friendly with moderate yields but exceptional resin production. Plants maintain the typical indica structure with short, bushy growth patterns and dense bud formation. The strain exhibits excellent resistance to environmental stress and mold, making it suitable for various growing conditions. Indoor plants typically remain under 1 meter in height, while outdoor cultivation can produce larger specimens. The genetics are described as uniform and stable, with most phenotypes expressing the characteristic dense, sticky buds covered in trichomes.
