Strain: Afghani #1
Strain Type: Indica Origin: Afghanistan Breeder: Sensi Seed Bank
Images: 1 2 3
Description:
“The Afghani part is a very short Christmas tree-like plant, 100% Indica, very resinous and very consistent. The
F1-cross with Skunk #1 gives the variety a bigger yield and better taste. Very good "up" high.
Specifications:
~ Flower: 8-9 weeks ~ Harvest: 1st week Nov.” -Sensi Seed Bank catalog
Growers Comments:
“Afghani #1 is basically selected Afghanis back crossed with themselves to produce short squat plants with
lots'o resin.”
"I'm not sure who's is best, but I can tell you what Sensi's Afghan #1 grows like. The only other Afghan I ever
grew was given to me as seed. Those plants grew to about 3-foot bushes and were very dark and the buds
looked like little florescent green golf balls. The Sensi, however, is completely different. The leaves are huge
and rounded, but they aren't dark the way Sensi describes them in their catalog. They're a very light green. My
Hindu Kush is a lot darker. The Afghan #1 is tall and thin and hasn’t filled out the way I would have liked. I
know it has nothing to do with ferts because everything I used is organic. Bat guano, a touch of cow manure
and bone meal and fed every 2 weeks with a mild mix of fish emulsions, 5-1-1, and water. They're two weeks
into flowering and not nearly as vigorous as the Hindu Kush. In my opinion, the Sensi Afghan is weak and
might be due for a genetic boost."-Pauly
Strain: Californian Dream
Strain Type: Indica Origin: California/Holland Breeder: Nevil
Images:
Description:
"Californian Dream (Afghan #1 x Californian Buddha) is a cross of two adapted northern Californian Indicas,
which create a fast growing, hardy, 5 foot bush which produces chunky potent buds covered with sticky, smelly
glands. Beautiful colour and excellent cast. A favourite. In middle Europe they mature in late September. In
southern Europe they mature September 1. Indoors copious buds mature in resinous nuggets in 50-60 days."

Strain: Mazar
Strain Type: Indica Origin: Afghanistan Breeder: Dutch Passion Seedbank
Images: 1
Description:
“This is an upgraded selection of the former valued Afghan Skunk. A 1997 improvement was made on its yield.
The taste is softer than before. The Afghani (Mazar-i-Shariff) part is a very short christmas tree like plant,
100% Indica and very resinous. The F1-cross with Skunk #1 gives the variety a bigger yield and better taste.
Very good “up” high. As both parents are very consistent, the offspring is very consistent too.

~ Flower: 8-9 weeks ~ Harvest: 1st week of Nov.” – Dutch Passion Seedbank
Growers Comments:
“Started with 10 seeds and all germinated and sprouted. Two sprouts didn’t make it. One just wasn’t able to
push out real leaves, it wanted to, but couldn’t get it done... chop went the blade. The other grew but lagged
behind.... chop went the blade. Of the 8 that were left 3 were female and 5 were male. This was nice since news
of hermies with the Mazar was heard but none were seen.
This is unquestionably indica in appearance and smell. Wide dull dark green leaves with smoother edges on
the blade serrations. Two of the 3 females were somewhat similar in appearance during flower with the other
doing it’s own thing. They looked pretty much identical during veg growth. Differences showed in bud structure.
The oddball had the braided city skyline look. I'll explain later. The other two grew tight compact buds with
smaller calyxes.
2- First let me tell ya bout some weirdness. The plant grew leaves from some of its leaf stems. Weird huh,
anyway.
This plant suffered from shading of taller plants but did OK considering. It was kept mainly for how well it did
through the shading since curiosity was peaked by its performance. This plant got thrown into the mix by
accident and wasn’t smoked by anyone that knew they were smoking it. It’s a mystery plant until grown from
clone.
3- This bad boy girl grew a fat top bud and may have been the heaviest of the three if it didn’t suffer from
some overcrowding vs. the top producer. This bad girl also had the heaviest covering of resin. This has
potential to be a producer except for the long flower period, which would need to be dealt with if you’re into
speed.
Note: All of the plants were harvested in approximately 10 weeks but it could have been done earlier and
probably should have been. So just figure a 9 weeker for now.
5- Yep this is the braided one and this is what was meant. The plant was trained so that the main stem was
horizontal. Looking at the big bud from eye level gave you a city skyline look with the buds, which look like
braided hair with the big calyxes. This plant also had a nice covering of resin and was the stronger of the 2 that
were smoked. It was also the heaviest plant. The one possible problem with this plant is that it did show a
male flower or two early in flowering but that was it. An eye was kept on it and it didn’t show another sign of
male flowers until a few days before harvest. The late start of a male flower or two could very well have been
due to leaving them to flower too long before chopping day.
Aroma: An earthy spicy thing with a skunk background. Not overpowering would probably require attention when
packaging.
Buzz Above average. NL x Shiva hates this plant in this neck of the woods and for good reason. Mazar is an up
and comer that could become the next couch lock champ when it’s old enough to compete. Its that good now.
This was stoner weed period but...
It was harvested much too late which could have caused this type of buzz. There seemed to be an edge to the
buzz lurking so we shall see. If it wasn’t because of the late harvest there will be some KOs when others get to
smoke this chit.
Taste Distorted by feeding. It had a spicy taste to it that isn’t bad and could be a good one when given the
right feeding schedule.
Yield Slightly above average with 5 better than that.
Comments: This is looking like one of those plants no one likes to smoke because it ends their day. It’s
surprising that it took as long to finish with this strain, we’ll see what happens from clone. Buzz will probably
improve with age and better growing conditions.
Curiosity is peaked about the type of buzz that will be had when the plant is harvested on time. Except for 5
shading was a problem for this strain so yield is really up in the smoke right now. All and all so far so good
since the buzz is making up for the long flower time." – Flick
