Helmand, Afghanistan, Indica

Helmand. This one occupies the center position of an Afghan mix. It is 100% green, red haired indica with a forestal, pungent, floral, skunky Odor. Dank. The vape and the smoke have a resinous hashy cannabis flavor with undertones of apple, spice, and mint. The effects are relaxing, comforting body relaxation and a friendly mildly psychedelic state of being. If I were buying buds off the shelf I would award it a 10 but the ratings are mostly based on your growing experience. My growing experience was a successful harvest but I had issues with the plants being attractive to leaf mites and they seemed sensitive to nitrogen and the acidic soil environment. Nothing I couldn't cope with but they do require close attention. Pure Indica growers will know exactly what I'm talking about Helmand grows short and produces a fat top cola. It has a branchless phenotype and a straight angular basal radiating branch array phenotype that is only moderately branchy or bushy. These branches are thick and not curved or else not present at all The top cola is most of the yield in every plant. I would recommend not ever topping any of these, unless you really, really want to. This is a pure Indica. Breeders may want it for that reason. The flavor is another attraction- it tastes like good weed The size is compact. Those are the potential cross breeding traits Helmand Afghan offers. A small challenge to grow, good results.
