Afghan Origin and Genetics
The indica strain genetics of Afghan marijuana varieties result from various events throughout history, from wild pollination, selection from Afghan growers, and introduction to the West. In the book Hashish by Robert Connell Clarke, it is reported that it was actually cannabis sativa that was first used for hash production in the area. However, indicas were seen growing wild in Afghanistan as early as 1924. Eventually, the farmers began to grow and favor the indicas for their higher yields of resin. During the sixties and seventies, Brotherhood of Eternal Love members, among other Hippie Trail travelers, smuggled the Afghan seeds back home along with Hindu Kush varieties. The seeds were an instant hit with growers across the US and Europe for their fast flowering, great yields, and resinous dense buds that give potent, stoney effects. Afghan strains have since laid the groundwork for breeding many popular hybrids of today, such as Northern Lights and Blueberry.
