Afghani Special Regular is a mostly indica regular strain bred from an old Afghani line crossed with a newer double Afghani. Shaped by mountainous conditions over many years, it grows sturdy and stocky with a resistance to disease, making it a sensible choice for a first-time grower. Plants branch out into a bushy form with wide, rounded, deep green leaves and produce generous quantities of sticky buds. Its aroma is strongly sweet, and the taste is smooth and rich, with a hash-like character. Indoors it stays compact, while outdoors it can reach considerable heights. Flowering is relatively short for a plant of its size, so the harvest arrives from late September onwards. Stated THC content sits between 15 and 20 percent. Users often describe it as relaxing and calming, with a sense of stress relief. This is a classic strain from the good old days that suits growers looking for a reliable, traditional experience.
