Name: Humbolt Afghani (Legacy)
-
Type: Feminized Hybrid Photoperiod
-
Lineage: Heirloom Afghani
We use the classic “lineage” protocol with the parents listed in order of female first and male (or pollen donor) second.
-
Type: Feminized Photoperiod, Pure Indica
This characterizes whether the cultivar is a Sativa, Indica or hybrid.
-
Filial Generation: S1
This expresses the fillial generation of the cultivar. IX refers to In-cross which is used to categorize two close relatives that have been bred together. S1 is used for “selfed” plants in which we reverse a clone onto itself
-
PVI (Phenotypic Variation Index): low
This is a classification system we have developed in order to provide cultivators information regarding the amount of phenotypic variation that should be expected. Simply put, this describes the uniformity or lack thereof. The PVI index is calculated with a formula using a variety of observed traits. Although the formula we developed outputs a quantitative number between 1 and 10, we are publishing the results in qualitative format. The qualitative parameters we are: Very Low, Low, Below Average, Average, Above Average, High.
-
Indoor Flower Time: 50-60 days
This represents the total expected flowering time from the first day of light cycle adjustment to the flowering cycle. This parameter was developed for guidance on indoor cultivation only. For outdoor cultivation please see “Outdoor Harvest Date”.
-
Outdoor Harvest Date: mid to late Sept
This represents the approximate harvest date. The actual ripening date can vary slightly throughout different climate zones and growing conditions.
-
Trellising Requirements: none
-
Height/Stretch: very low to low
This is the term often used to describe the amount of growth that occurs after flowering has commenced.
-
Yield (per sf): above average
This is the yield you would expect relative to other varieties grown in the same conditions at the same time. We use the terms “below average, average , above average and high
-
Color: ripens to deep purple
Usually green or purple or both.
-
Nose: sour grapes, fuel, ripe strawberry, skunk
This category is subjective and not based on quantitative data. * the higher the PVI the more variation in aroma you should expect.

Tips from the grower: A classic Indica, Humboldt Afghani takes her time in the vegatative stage by stacking a remarkable amount of nodes in a small area. Once in flowering, she goes into hyper-drive and the flowers grow fast and get huge. She loves lots of root space and generous feeding but be careful with nutrient buildup. Trellising is almost never required due to the stocky nature of the plants. This is the earliest ripening variety in the entire Twenty20 lineup.
Our grow team provides useful data to include in this section

Notes: A great cultivar with a great story: We were lucky to be gifted a few clones back in 2015 by a friend of the man who had originally traveled to Afghanistan to collect the seeds. This variety is a perfect example and closely related to many of the purple indicas and purple kush’s that were common in the Emerald Triangle in the 80’s and 90’s. The flavor and smell of these legacy genetics are really out of this world!
