Afghan Shadow

Afghan Shadow is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 22-28% on average, with 0.8% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Afghan Shadow high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. These combined effects make Afghan Shadow a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Afghan Shadow has a mouth-filling earthy flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a earthy finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded bright neon green nugs, curly amber hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

In the garden, Afghan Shadow is an easy, forgiving grow that suits first-time cultivators, flowering in around 8 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. It shrugs off common beginner mistakes, and yields stay respectable even when conditions are less than perfect. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Shadow family — see Dark Shadow Haze and Kali's White Shadow for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
