this is a tough one... i have been searching for a funky affie/ hashplant for years and am still empty handed. pre soviet post soviet? mmm i think the genetics are still around they grew herb there for thousands of years pre soviet and there was many times which war, drought, invasion, earthquakes, etc and they remained landraces all that time so i dont think the soviet or us invasion has changed the genetics of affies. i hear about marines bringing seeds ho,e all the time so i know there are pleny of affies out there. unfortunately most seeds are in the hands of inexperienced people (friends of the people who brought the seeds home and try to give it a go and end up making tons of mistakes. so i think alot of time its not the genetics but the growers. i have also seen pictures of huge fields of herb in Afghanistan (modern pics) and there are many phenos mixed in together. you will see some big plants, some barely 3' tall (none larger than 6' tall, but some are much bushier than others) some with huge fan leaves (wide blades, duckfoot style) some not so wide but all are indicas. i really want hp 13 or the og la affie that made her rounds in the 80's(the la affie). regaurdless i think the dna of those beloved affies is still around. might be a bit tougher to find though...
