Myrcene (dominant - earthy, musky, herbal with fruity undertones; provides sedative properties and muscle relaxation); Beta-caryophyllene (spicy, peppery, woody; interacts with CB2 receptors for anti-inflammatory effects); Limonene (moderate - citrusy, bright; mood-elevating and balancing)

Linalool (floral, sweet, calming); Sabinene (trace amounts); Geraniol (trace amounts); exact secondary terpenes vary by growing conditions and phenotype

Deep physical relaxation; euphoria; mental fog/mellow headspace; sensory enhancement; reduced mental chatter; comprehensive muscle unwinding/numbing sensation; couch-lock; appetite stimulation; sleepiness; pain relief; stress dissolution; maintained mental clarity in early phases; tingling/tingly sensation throughout body

1.5-3 hours (inhalation); 4-6+ hours (edibles); smooth comedown with gradual diminishment; many users transition directly to sleep; minimal next-day grogginess; extended duration with edible consumption

Delayed onset of 10-15 minutes (creeper effect); initial sensation: pressure around eyes/forehead, subtle warming; mild cerebral phase with enhanced sensory perception, time dilation, amplified appreciation for music/visuals; body effects arrive 20-30 minutes in, starting at neck/shoulders and cascading through core and limbs; profound physical relaxation develops gradually

Dry mouth (nearly universal); dry eyes (nearly universal); mild dizziness (occasional); paranoia phases when overconsumbed (occasional, especially low-tolerance users); thick harsh smoke causing coughing; excessive sedation if consumed during day; throat irritation from resinous smoke

Indica-Dominant Hybrid

Daytime use (unless intentionally taking recovery day); situations requiring focus, coordination, or productivity; social gatherings requiring movement/interaction; before driving or operating machinery; morning or early afternoon with obligations; first dates or professional settings requiring alertness; any activity requiring sustained physical or mental performance

Cross between OG Kush (or Master Kush) and original Afghani landrace; developed by Apothecary Genetics in early 1990s; won Best Hydro Strain at 1994 High Times Cup; exact parentage debated within community; heritage combines Afghani's pure indica genetics with OG/Master Kush's complex terpene profile and cerebral qualities

THC: 16-22% (typical range), exceptional phenotypes 26-28%; CBD: 0.2-1% (higher than most recreational strains); CBG: 1-2% in some phenotypes; moderate to moderately-high potency with notable CBD content that may modulate THC effects; cannabinoid ratios contribute to clean indica high with maintained mental clarity

Master Kush (potential parent, similar Afghani genetics, heavy indica, earthy-hashy profile, less sedating); OG Kush (potential parent, Kush flavor profile, similar potency, more balanced hybrid, more cerebral); Purple Kush (pure indica, deeply relaxing, comparable potency, more grape/berry terpenes); Bubba Kush (heavy indica, body-numbing, earthy-sweet, coffee/chocolate notes); Afghani (direct parent, pure indica landrace, moderate potency, deeply sedating, simpler terpene profile)

Resistant to mold and mildew (makes it suitable for higher-humidity environments); suitable for outdoor growing in challenging fall weather; performs well in both indoor and outdoor conditions; resilient to environmental threats including fungi, mold, bacteria, and insects

Indoor: 8-9 weeks (56-65 days); Outdoor: Late September to early October (Northern Hemisphere), March (Southern Hemisphere)

Indoor: 18 ounces (500g) per square meter; Outdoor: 14 ounces (400g) per plant; high-yielding variety; moderate flowering time makes it accessible to growers

Medium height; squat, bushy indica morphology; wide dark fan leaves; dense chunky buds with tight structure; conical formations; works well with Sea of Green (SOG) method; benefits from regular pruning of lower foliage to direct energy to top colas; suitable for both soil and hydroponic systems

Visual: Platinum-silver shimmer from abundant trichomes; dense chunky buds with tight structure; vibrant orange pistils; possible purple hues; crystalline appearance with visible trichome heads; Aroma: Pungent, complex, intensely sweet with skunky hashy undertones, musky earth, subtle fruit notes, tangy qualities when broken; Structure: Dense but not rock-hard, sticky/resinous, stems snap cleanly; Smoke: Gray-white ash indicating proper flushing, harsh but smooth burn when properly cured
