Afgoo Seeds

Afgoo: Potently Popular

Afgoo seeds grow into medium to tall plants that are bulky with massive buds. The leaves of this plant are vibrant and green, while the buds are dark green and have amber pistils growing out of the bud sites. The buds are also covered with sticky resinous trichomes, making this potent plant super skunky. The harvested nuggets are leafy and easy to break apart with your fingers, although it will leave a sticky resin on your fingertips.

The nuggets are green with orange hairs throughout. Breaking these nuggets apart releases that well-loved skunky aroma that reminds cultivators of old-school cannabis plants. The strain took home the Best Nose award in the 2016 Dope Cup. With its potent effects and strong flavor profile, Afgoo should be a shoo-in for future awards to add to its mantle.

Growing this strain takes patience and a bit of a green thumb. If you have prior experience, you should have no issue bringing this strain to harvest.

 Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Afgoo grows best in sunny and warm locations similar to that of its area of origin, Hawaii. Afgoo is easy to grow both indoors and outdoors as long as you have prior experience growing cannabis. The Indica-dominant hybrid is resistant to pests and mold, which makes it a low-maintenance strain of cannabis. Experienced growers say that you should grow Afgoo female plants using hydroponics to reap the biggest yield possible. However, if that’s not an option, this indica will do fine in nutrient-rich soil.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Afgoo marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. Switching to a 12/12 light cycle will induce the flowering stage and get you all the way to harvest. 
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 40-60% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 30-40% or slightly lower during the flowering stage. This change in humidity will help keep mold and bud rot off of your plants.
• Training Techniques: Implementing strategies like topping and Low-Stress Training are recommended for this strain. Adjusting the top of the plant so that light and air circulation reach all levels of the plant is key to a successful grow.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Afgoo strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days. Outdoor grows usually finish flowering by mid-to-late October.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per plant, outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. To harvest, cut the branches and hang them upside down for about 7-10 days to dry out. Then cure them by putting each in an airtight jar for about 2-4 weeks. Make sure to open the jar daily for the first week to release any moisture.

Dominant Terpenes in Afgoo: Afghani Goo

The Afgoo terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while caryophyllene and limonene are secondary terpenes.

• • Myrcene: Most Dominant – The mother of all terpenes, myrcene, provides an earthy and herbal flavor and aroma. 

• Caryophyllene: Secondary Terpene – Found in cinnamon, cloves, and cannabis, this terpene gives weed its spicy and peppery notes.
• Limonene: Citrus Fruits – Commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits, this terpene helps with anxiety and improves lung function.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Afgoo: 

Cannabinoids play an important role in Afgoo seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That relaxed, euphoric, and sleepy feeling you get when enjoying the Afgoo strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user. 

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 25%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Afgoo cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Afgoo are less than 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Afgoo strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
