Balkh Hashplant

Balkh Hashplant From The historic Center Of Afghan Cannabis Culture The Balkh hashplant is one of the most legendary afghan cultivars. This flavorful landrace variety has been used for hundreds of years for making a sweet and fruity hashish of the highest quality. These robust plants have been used for centuries and probably even millennia for making one of the most famous hashish in the world Afghanistan has the oldest hashish culture still in existence today. Furthermore, Balkh is arguably the epicenter of the Afghan hash tradition. The Balkh province is home to some of the best sieved hashish in the world such as the famous “Milk of Mazar” and the “Old Golden One”. According to the legend, Baba Ku the famous healer who first brought cannabis to Afghanistan, was burried near the city of Balkh. High Genetic Diversity Just as many pure Afghan landraces, this variety typically produces a very clear stone and a pleasant body relaxation. Unlike many modern Indica-dominant hybrids, the effect isn’t couch lock but rather relaxing and insightful. Potency vary from plant to plant according to the THC to CBD ratio. The plants range from high CBD-low THC all the way to low CBD-high THC. This Balkhi cultivar is easy to grow and flowers relatively quickly. At first the plants all look very similar but as they flower, they start displaying a wide array of aromas, shapes and colors. Not unlike other north Afghan Landraces, the plants can be broad to narrow leafleted. The fastest flowering phenotypes usually display broad leaflets and are medium producers. However, the plants which require 10 to 11 weeks to flower can be very high yielders. Although the buds can end up being quite heavy, these plants almost never need support. Their frame is very sturdy with a large and robust main stem. Thanks to its very high genetic diversity, this cultivar can be extremely useful to pheno hunters looking for rare gems. A Low-Maintenance Cultivar As they flower, about 10% of the Balkh landrace plants gradually turn black. Towards the end of the flowering cycle, some of the plants have become completely black both on the leaves and flowers. These Afghan plants are moderate feeders. They require higher levels of nutrients than most landrace varieties, though, not as much as most modern hybrids. Landrace Genetics, central Asian landrace expert, personally aquired the seeds in the Balkh Province near the city of Balkh in 2018. The Khalifa team has since been adapting this strain to growing indoors by reducing the hermaphroditism and decreasing the amount of undesirable phenotypes while preserving a lot of genetic diversity. This Balkh landrace variety could be a great asset to breeders and pheno-hunters looking for a cultivar full of genetic diversity.
