These figures are ranges, not promises. Flowering time, harvest date and yield vary depending on growing conditions: the grower, the method and the season's weather. "Mold resistant" means mold tolerant: less prone to mold and slower to be affected. No strain is 100% mold resistant. How we set these numbers →
Taste & Aroma Profile




Earthy, hashy and sweet, with the incense and dried-fruit notes of a true Afghani, on resin-caked buds that leave the scissors sticky — it is known for its indica structure and heavy resin, and it is one of the best plants in the catalogue for dry sift and bubble hash.
About Purple Afghani
Genetics & strain profile
Purple Afghani is the classic Afghan indica — a pure or near-pure indica landrace type with 24% THC: broad leaves, tight spacing between nodes, and a sturdy, compact, productive structure with heavy trichome coverage, the kind of plant hash has been made from for centuries in the Hindu Kush. The purple shows in the calyxes and leaves when nights turn cool. It carries our harvest from September badge. It is a newer addition and does not yet have customer reviews, so the figures below come from our own grows rather than from reviewers; if you grow it, a review helps the next person. Our seeds are guaranteed.
How Purple Afghani grows
Indoors it flowers in 45 to 55 days — among the fastest photoperiod finishes we sell — with 450 to 600 g/m² under good lighting; the plant stays short and wide, stretches little after the flip, and fills a net with fat, dense colas, so it suits a low tent and a SCROG. It is a moderate feeder that dislikes overwatering; broad-leaf Afghanis root best in a well-drained mix and a pot that dries between waterings. Outdoors it is typically ready in late September to early October with 500 to 800 g per plant depending on the season and plant size, a window that suits southern Quebec, Ontario, the Maritimes and coastal BC. The one thing to manage is bud rot: Afghani buds are the densest in the garden, so give it sun and airflow, thin the inside, and check the colas daily once the fall rains start. Cool nights bring out the purple.
Taste, aroma and effect
Earthy, hashy and sweet, with the incense and dried-fruit notes of a true Afghani, on resin-caked buds that leave the scissors sticky — it is known for its indica structure and heavy resin, and it is one of the best plants in the catalogue for dry sift and bubble hash. The effect is a deep, heavy body relaxation, sedating in larger amounts: an evening strain for unwinding, aches and sleep, and at 24% THC strong enough to start small.
