Maruf Kandahar 2020 is a seed accession of the cannabis line that the seed database SeedFinder lists under the name of the Indian Landrace Exchange as Maruf Kandahar, with the group's account of a farm at Maruf, in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan, from its Durand Line project of 2020.

Collection Details

According to the group's book, the domesticated crop at the farm had begun to flower by August, and many plants turned red on the leaf stalks and stems as they did so. The plants grew in a calcareous mix of clay, sand and silt. The farmer selected his plants through the males, uprooting all but about five males for every hundred females before the females could be pollinated, and said that he had brought the seed from the Andrabi district, in the north-east of Afghanistan, fifteen years earlier.

Botanical Characteristics

The book describes plants over 12 feet tall on average, many of them a deep purple that looked almost black, which came through an early cold wave in 2020 with little damage. It describes high yields and thick colas smelling mostly of musk, earth and phenol, with notes that varied from plant to plant, such as floral sweetness or roasted almond and pistachio, and no plants with mainly sweet or fruity smells.
