Strain Aroma and Taste
The cannabis aroma palette is diverse and formed by a complex terpene profile. This weed is highly recognizable due to the smell of sweet fruits (especially peaches) and nuts because the strain contains bisabolol, terpinolene, phellandrene, and ocimene terpenes. A slight ammonia scent is added by carene.
Effects and Medical Benefits of Black Afghani Strain
The Black Afghani strain is famous for its sedative effects which lead to a euphoric state of mind. This weed helps the user's mind to zone out for some particular task, which makes it ideal for morning use. The effects show up slowly. This cannabis gives an uplifting buzz that makes people creative and happy. In some consumers, it provokes giggles and munchie-inducing effects. If smoked in high doses, the weed can make people sleepy, lazy, and, as a result, couch-locked.
This kush succeeds in alleviating the symptoms associated with the following conditions:
- Stress
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
- Multiple sclerosis
As any powerful strain, Black Afghani may provoke side effects in users and cause:
- Tingling
- Dry mouth
- Panic attacks
- Dry eyes
Grow Information
For home growers, the cultivation of the Black Afghani strain is of moderate difficulty. Unfortunately, the seeds are often unavailable for online purchases. Gardeners should find a vendor who sells plant clippings. Again, outdoor cultivation requires a humid and hot climate.
The plants are quite short (30-60 inches), which is characteristic of Indicas. The strain has got its name for its dark (almost black) buds. It needs a flowering cycle of 68 to 75 days and is ready to harvest in 79 days. It is a medium yield plant with a harvest of 0.5-1 oz./ft2 for indoor and 1-2 oz./ft2 for outdoor conditions.
Strain details
Black Afghani Strain Cannabinoids
| THC | Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is a major cannabis chemical compound. It is a psychoactive element that stimulates dopamine release and induces euphoria or happiness. THC-rich strains may be helpful with such conditions as lack of appetite, chronic pains , etc. It is considered to be the primary active marijuana component. | 15.75 - 18.25% |
| CBD | Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a major compound in cannabis, which is non-psychoactive. It is also proved to counteract the side effects of the second major component THC. CBD is widely used for medicinal purposes in rubs, oils and so on. It is helpful in muscle pain cases, may treat arthritis and migraines. Even Greeks used it against pain, while Queen Victoria applied it to get rid of menstrual cramps. | 3.3 - 3.8% |
| CBC | Cannabichromene, or CBC, is a minor cannabinoid, meaning that its quantity in cannabis is quite little. Though it has the same origin as CBD and THC, it is different in functions. Without any psychoactive effects, it is an efficient cannabis compound in combating acne and depression. CBC produces analgesic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. | 0.35 - 1.1% |
| CBG | Cannabigerol, or CBG, is one of the minor cannabis compounds in adult plants. On the other hand, young ones contain a lot of this antibacterial and anti-inflammatory component. During the growth, CBG is converted into different cannabinoids, mostly THC and CBD. The compound itself increases appetite and decreases eye pressure. | 0.2 - 1.34% |
| CBN | Cannabinol, or CBN, is a trace element in cannabis that is considered to be mildly psychoactive. It appears from oxidation THC, exposed to light and heat. CBN is mostly contained in old cannabis and in traditional hashish. It is effective against insomnia, bacterial infections and appetite loss. | 0.14 - 0.16% |
| THCV | Tetrahydrocannabivarin, or THC-V, is a compound contained in cannabis in trace amounts. Even though it is close to THC molecularly, it is different in effects. This compound may be psychoactive only in large amounts. THC-V reduces blood sugar, controls appetite, stimulates bone growth, etc. African Sativa strains are the richest in THC-V. | 0.37 - 1.58% |
Black Afghani Terpene Profile
| Carene | Carene (also known as Delta-3 carene) is a terpene found in rosemary, lemons, pines, and cedars, offering citrusy and cypress aroma. Studies on mice showed that carene provides anti-inflammatory effects, as well as promotes bone health and chronic pain relief. | 0.26% |
| Ocimene | Ocimene (derived from the Ancient Greek word Ocimum meaning basil) is a terpene with sweet and herbaceous flavors, also boasting citrusy and woody undertones. Naturally, ocimene occurs in mint, parsley, orchids, hops, kumquats, mangoes, basil, bergamot, lavender, and pepper. Offers antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. | 0.23% |
| Bisabolol | Bisabolol (also known as α-Bisabolol or levomenol) is a lesser-known terpene found in cannabis. It contributes to anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, antioxidant, anti-microbial, and analgesic properties of weed strains containing bisanol. Attentive smokers would be able to catch a nutty, fruity scent with herbal and floral undertones, with a tender trace of coconut. | 0.14% |
| Terpinolene | Terpinolene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis; however, It's usually presented in small quantities. Is responsible for piney, floral, herbaceous, and even a little bit citrusy aroma of cannabis. Terpinolene can be found in lilacs, nutmeg, and cumin. In cannabis, terpinolene contributes to the sensation of "freshness." Has the potential to reduce the risk of heart diseases. | 0.09% |
| Phellandrene | Phellandrene (also known as alpha- and beta-phellandrene) is one of the rare terpenes found in cannabis with antihyperalgesic and antidepressive properties. Phellandrene contributes to a minty, woody, and mildly citrus aroma in cannabis. Previously confused with limonene and pinene, phellandrene was eventually distinguished as a separate terpene common for eucalyptus. Also, it could be found in mint, dill, black pepper, cinnamon, parsley, pine, and lavender. | 0.29% |

Well, before smoking I was a bit anxious, now I smoked and there are no signs of anxiety at all. Probably, this will stick on my list for a long time.
The best choice for the nighttime relaxation after a hard day at work. Relaxes and causes munchies, which relieves almost all unpleasant effects. An A grade Indica!
A dreamy and sedative strain with a mix of earthy and berry flavors. Overall, a must try for every indica fan.
Though Black Afghan literally glues the body to the couch, I liked it pretty much. Especially recommend listening to music or having something tasty.
Usually I don’t smoke something like this and prefer energizing Sativas and maybe that’s the reason I didn’t like Black Afghani that much. The flavors are good, but I wouldn’t call them outstanding, especially when lit. After smoking the high was potent a
