i want that afkansastan cut so badly
Hindu kush (sensi)2006
Friend of mine gifted me some seeds from an old time grower in Mendocino. Called Pot of Gold Hashplant. Been growing it for ten or twenty years? Who knows.
It's the real deal. Widest leaves I've seen since I grew Deep Chunk. Without the stem rot and sensitivity to humidity. And not runty either. Good size for a real Indica.
The one in the center
Very bushy growth pattern. Didn't prune it because I wanted to see it's natural growth pattern. But it sent small runners up along the main stem creating a mass of shade leaves blocking out all light. I should have pruned out over half of them, never seen anything like it. Some pics of the runners.
Has the classic hashy smell with a little fruitiness. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Don't forget the Derg Corra Helmand Afghani offering. There's also Iraqi, AOF, and Maroc (I grow some OD @ 52N every year, including this one, and they are easily done by mid-Oct - see albums from recent years for pics) in stock right now and probably worth a look at the very least. There's something about the ghanis, but there are other regions with very promising genetics IMHO.
Almost forgot Viking, which I think is pure Afghani. I grew it outdoors a few years back - had a couple of very different phenos:
More pics in my 2014 outdoor album.
Quite a leafy one (perhaps need to explore the gene pool further), but nice smoke even so. In terms of smoke I thought it was similar to Taskenti (CBG). Almost like smoking pure hash.

Yup. Much love for DCC

Here's a couple picks of Bodhi's Old School Hashplant. Vintage PNW Hashplant x (88g13 x Hashplant)
I saw a lot of Hashplant in the 90s, this is basically the same thing. Same awesome hash smell and shape. Very happy with it. I few years back I got some seed from Sensi to try. Wasn't Hashplant at all. This is what I was looking for.
This is (Grape Ape x Bubblegum) x Pure Purple Afghani.
The smell is awesome. Floral fruitiness with hashy undertones.

Here's some picks of the Pot of Gold Hashplant male. Kicking myself in the ass for not getting any pollen. Had my hands full digging up and moving a couple other males, it would have been a project to move him before he impregnated the garden.
He was a beast, thick stalks and huge leaves. Star of the garden until I found out he was male.
Turns out the PoG Hashplant was from a no name bag seed from the midwest. Not related to the Pot of Gold strain from Flying Dutchman. It was given the name because it is a hashish producer. The breeder claimed up to 3-1 plant matter to resin ratio. 10-1 is normal ratio. A grower has had yields of up to 10 lbs a plant flowers in California. Which would make around 3.5 lbs of hashish which is hard to believe.
I don't think I'd consider Grape Ape a true Afghan but it is deep on the Indica side of the spectrum. Couple pics of Grape Ape x Early Girl. Early Girl meaning a strain that finishes early compared to the breeders other strains as opposed to the old Sensi strain Early Girl. Lots of vegetable strains are named early girl.

hi. is there any chance i could buy some of those iraqi seeds from you?
Please do let me know as i'd be really interested in having them in my collection. Cheers!
i really think it's the real deal yes. that kind of thick foliage is intended to protect them from freezing cold up on the mountains where they come from. does it have just one main calix/cola or you also have several other branches that shoot up? the width of the leaves surely tell it's an afghani, also very dark green another sign of its origins. so you've been growing it for 20 years from the time when your friend brought you the seeds? would be interesting to know if the grower (the first one) got the seeds himself and can tell you their exact origins. though adapted over the years it still carries its genes which is remarkable. have you grown it in california? cheers
I haven't been growing the Pot of Gold Hashplant for 20 years. This is my first year. The guy I got the seeds from has. No exotic story about the seeds. He found the seeds in a bag of otherwise sinsemilla ganja he bought. From the midwest, maybe Oklahoma or Arkansas.
He grows in California, over the years he's always selected the best males and females to breed. Tried to keep it true bred but he says he's had other males in the garden over the years. There's a good chance that stray pollen from another male has gotten mixed in so it's probably not 100% pure. But the males weren't by chance or hermaphrodites. They were ones he selected special for breeding.
One plant was a bit slower to switch into flowering then the other. Otherwise the plants are basically the same. I grow in the PNW so I have to finish a bit earlier then California. Here's some pics they got hit by a rainstorm so they're sopping wet.
You can see it's been bent by the wind combined with the weight of the water soaking it. I'm guessing it should be at least decent for mold resistance because of the California outdoor breeding. If it was true 100% Afghan Landrace getting soaked and beaten like this I'd be more worried. I know there's monsoons in SE Asia but Deep Chunk didn't do well in my area. Lots of mold and very runty. X18 did much better. I'll post to let everyone know how it finishes.
You can also get an idea of the plant structure. One main cola with several shorter side branches. All are developing well.
And more lean
Quite a bit more leaf then most Californian growers put up with these days. The payoff is that it's covered in frost. Lucky he's hashish savvy and understands the value of a good hashplant.
The smell is classic sweet hashish. Mouthwatering, no skunk or diesel, very little fruity or garlicy. The smell brings back many good memories.

The original Shiskaberry always been a favorite although I haven't seen her since 08...got clones recently but not even close to the original...the indoor version of her was completely frosted n smelt like raspberry mixed with this lemon cinnamon smell was up in ranks with the trainwreck, hogsbreath, p91 from same connect...was expensive n def not "work bud"....another that if she can be found is Northern Boarder which technically is a Pakistani but from the boarder with Afghanistan brought back from troops she makes most OG's look like watered down diet soda.
I've been looking for the real Shishkaberry for a long time. My buddy had it in the late 90s. Grew it outdoors in California. Good yield, great smell. Had a nice open structure that resulted in big buds all the way from top to bottom.
