Pure Afghani land-race
Smaller Afghani land-race strain.
Balkhi is a pure land-race from Balkh, the hashish heartland of northern Afghanistan, a crucial centre of cannabis culture and biodiversity.
This is a resinous and heavily branched land-race strain with intense aromas ranging from citrus and lime to pine, sandalwood and burnt rubber. Semi-dwarf expressions can be found in this land-race, with almost spherical architecture. Leaflet-width can also vary from broad to narrow. Northern Afghan land-races cannot be easily categorised according to Western preconceptions about Indica- or Sativa-type strains.
As with all resin-producing land-races, expect to find chemotypes ranging from THC- to CBD-dominant, as well as other cannabinoids such as THCV. This land-race differs from the very large strain sold by Real Seed Co as Mazar-i-Sharif. Highly recommend to breeders and essential for collectors.

Balkhi Regular Seeds
I ran two packs to maintain diversity. I had a few problems with a new method I used and lost a few seedlings, but the rest finished out fine. Some of the Phenotypes are quite a bit heavier in production than others. However, it appears that some of the smaller ones are producing heavier trichomes that would prove out in hash making. You can read up on the grow in the Seedsman Blog

The plants, overall, have very heavy stalks that would hold very heavy flowers if grown under the right conditions. I grew these out in smaller 3-gallon pots so I cannot tell you what this plant will do in better conditions. I do plan to put clones from the most promising three in the greenhouse with large pots to see what they can really do. Keep in mind that some hash strains produce smaller plants. The way these produced in the smaller pots tends to give me hope that some plants might be very large with more light and root space.
These plants are not suitable for stealth growers where odor can be an issue, they are very strong and just working in the room leaves one smelling quite strong. The aroma is very much like oldschool hash so I think you will be very pleased. I do believe I will process the entire plant for hash once it has had about five weeks of proper curing. If possible I will update this review, but the results will be posted in the final article of the blog in about 8 weeks from now.
