Afghan Selections- 2 New Landrace Offerings

Did someone say new Landraces!? Surely that's a contradiction? 

Nope! You heard right, Afghan Selection are offering for the first time ever landraces from 2 districts of Afghanistan that have never before been offered to the public!

Here at the Pure Sativa family, we've made it our business to provide the best cannabis seeds on the market and as such, we're more than used to dealing with amazing culturally important genetics. However, the gene pool's represented in a lot of modern crosses are often genetically similar due to the nature of hype; where this often fuels endless crossing and backcrossing of the latest and greatest strains. In this dynamic landscape, there is perhaps no genetics more important than landrace & heirloom strains; these strains are believed to be crucial in the effort for preserving the rich gene pool of cannabis terpenes & their respective effects, that risk being bred out in most modern hybrid strains. Not only this but, with the current situation in Afghanistan; it has never been as important as it is now to preserve these genetics and support the people of Afghanistan. 

The Afghan Selection team is made up of two hashishins and native aficionado's who, between them, possess 50 plus years of experience curating and collating a library of fantastic Afghan landraces for the public to experience. This unique archive offers all that Afghanistan have to offer to cannabis; the gene pool of terpenes in Afghan landrace genetics provide some of the best-defined smells in the world. Everything from citrus, grapefruit, diesel, pistachio, skunk mango and earth scents can be expressed in these genetics. 

The hues of Afghan landraces come in an assorted range of colours and shades, in legal landscapes they grow with gigantic fan leaves that stack immense colas so some grooming should be expected, along with a wide array of purported benefits. The terp profiles are very clean and differ from region to region depending on the unique characteristics of that locality, landrace effects are significant and long-lasting. Any landrace hunter should have at least some of Afghan Selection range in the archive. 

 

 

 

 

Panjsher is a region in Afghanistan that is east of Kabul, with rolling valleys that hold an illustrious and well-established history in cannabis cultivation that still exists today. This landrace produces bountiful yields and towering cola's that are known to yield for hash in legal environments, providing the best of both worlds for the farmer. The terps profile found in the hash are overwhelmingly sweet yet are also known for providing nutty, earthy characteristics that are close to roasted nuts & pistachios as well as sweet candied dehydrated fruits. The effects of this cultivar start off as uplifting and energising due to the fruity terpenes before gradually easing into the sedative couchlock that is commonplace in Afghan broadleaf genetics.

Kandahar is a region in the South of Afghanistan which the Kandahar landrace is native. This landrace provides abundant yields and dense cola's for legal growers, typically omitting potent musky aromas; that is rich and musky as opposed to the more fruit-forward nutty terp profiles that are common in north Afghanistan. The cultivar is famous for being used to create the black hash that has been a staple in the region's traditional hashish market for centuries. The lineage in this landrace lends a hand in the plant's aesthetics, growing bushy with dark broad leaves that tend to be significantly shorter and denser than most afghan landraces.

Come stand with Afghan by purchasing some cannabis seeds & secure history picking up a pack of these terpene-rich landrace genetics today.
