🍁 Cultivation Review: Afghan Bullet (Day 84)
Genetics: Afghan Bullet
Flowering/Harvest Time: Day 84
Main Goal: Extraction (Bubble Hash)
Total Wet Weight: 130g
🔍 Plant Structure and Resin Production
Growing Afghan Bullet for the first time, I was highly impressed by its structure. The plant shows exceptional uniformity across all buds, meaning there is a complete absence of apical dominance. The secondary branches fully kept up with the main cola, developing a beautifully even canopy. Another major highlight is the resin production: the plant is literally coated in trichomes, with excellent resin coverage extending even to the small-to-medium fan leaves, a clear sign of its high genetic potential for extractions.
🔬 Harvest Timing: Target Bubble Hash
Harvest took place on Day 84, perfectly hitting the peak of milky trichomes. While the actual ease with which the heads separate from the stalks will only be seen during the washing process, harvesting at this stage is the number one objective for Bubble Hash. Milky trichomes offer the ideal texture and perfect maturity for smooth processing and optimal separation in ice water.
✂️ Harvest Management and Processing
At harvest, I did a rough trim (the ideal approach for fresh frozen, preventing unnecessary damage to the resin glands) yielding a total wet weight of 130 grams. The biomass has been divided as follows:
75g (Select Buds) ❄️ ➔ Freezer (Fresh Frozen): Tossed straight into the sub-zero to lock in live terpenes and maintain trichome integrity for the upcoming wash.
30g (Buds) 💨 ➔ Drying: Set aside for a traditional dry. Since it’s my first time running this strain, I’m very curious to test the dried flower to evaluate its overall aroma, flavor profile, and smoke quality.
25g 🗑️ ➔ Waste Material: Large fan leaves and non-resinous material.
📝 Final Thoughts (First Run)
This strain is shaping up to be a fantastic choice for extraction enthusiasts. The uniform bud development makes canopy management a breeze, and the heavy resin coverage on the mid-sized leaves points toward a great yield in the bags. Looking forward to the wash and the final smoke test!
