The Balkh Hash Plant is a renowned Afghan cultivar, cherished for centuries in the region. It's central to Afghanistan's rich hashish culture and has contributed to the world's most famous hashish varieties, including "Milk of Mazar" and the "Old Golden One."
This robust strain, with a diverse genetic profile, typically induces a clear, relaxing stone without overpowering sedation. The THC to CBD ratio varies, offering versatility from high CBD to high THC plants.
Balkhi plants are hardy, rarely requiring support due to their sturdy frames, which can withstand high winds. Some specimens develop dark colors as they flower, adding visual intrigue to your garden.
While these Afghan plants are moderate feeders, they need fewer nutrients compared to modern hybrids. Central Asian landrace experts collected the seeds near Balkh in 2018, then meticulously adapted the strain for indoor growth, reducing hermaphroditism and retaining significant genetic diversity.
Pheno hunters and breeders seeking rare and unique genetics will find the Balkhi landrace an invaluable resource.
