Afghan mix by TRSC

I got some freebies Afghan mix from TRSC a while back. I was super stoked to see how a real landrace might grow. After putting 2 seeds into soil I was a little sad about how slowly they were growing. One of them died off pretty fast but the other stayed with me. Tbh I might have fkced it up a bit, since I am not used to growing landraces, especially those where you don't really know what comes around. The main shoot was a little off at the beginning, for which reason I just snapped it off. One of the side branches grew to be the new main shoot and it started to grow in a normal indica manner. Fast forward to today, I had to harvest the main stem a week ago, since I got a spider mite infestation and I didnt wanna risk it. By today the mites didn't take over so I might have acted to fast, but I am okay with that. In the pictures you can see a very typical afghani bud structure. I am really amazed by this inflorecense. After a few cold nights it also started to purple. The yield is more on the lower end, but thats also coz I took very low nutrient soil and didn't really feed them too much (1/4 of normal feed).
The smell is very hashy with a slight hint of orange or tangerine, something citrussy but not lemon.


I hope you like the pictures and might give it a try. They are freebies by TRSC and KWIK but for german people they might be a little risky. I was sweating bullets when the package was pending in customs for 4 weeks. This is not an advertisment, I am just super hyped by landraces and will definitely by a bunch of packs of the afghan mix, as long there is a discount on it.

P.s. they threw some nanas but that was probably due to very much stress. I did light deprivation coz I am pretty far up north in Germany. They often had interrupted light cycles and after harvesting the main bud I let them outside which means they got from 12 / 12 back to 13/11 and now around 12/12. Thats pretty fcked up by me, but I didnt have another chance :D

Last three pics are the whole plant before harves last week, the others are bud shots today with some purpling

Very interesting post friend thanks for sharing. I like the way you worked out the problems to get your plants into flowering time. Now that the cool temps are here you should be good without any pests and get some nice colors. It may be too late but I would give those plants more flowering time.

You are right. I would have loved to give them more time, but I was on the move, so I had to make it least maintenance and least standing time possible ... They turned out okay. Since I am not smoking at the moment I don't know, how they worked out. But I can say that they feel like what is described for Afghan Hashstrains. It wasn't super frosty or anything but it was nicely covered. Also its a very sandy resin, that sticks to your finger, but more dustlike. My priority was to make a little seed run and pollinate it with my RSC Ketama Rif and with my ACE R+D. Just got one bean from Ketama but around 20 on the ACE R+D so I have enough for next years run and to satisfy my curiosity towards genetics and pollen chucking. I will post one more time to tell you how the smoke was. In the end I was really suprised by the awesome plant, that got me an insight into pure afghan landraces. Its mostly what I expected, regarding flower structure, morphology and resin characteristics.

So if any of you has loads of space, is allowed to buy from UK and wants to go and see some nice afghan landrace genetics, go for a hunt in Afghan mix. Its affordable and there might be some nice breeding material in there
