Afghan Lemon 2018 is a seed accession of Afghan Lemon, a line that Khalifa Genetics says it selected from its own Balkh Hash Plant (Balkh Hash Plant 2018). The company sells only feminised seed of it and calls it a stabilised phenotype of that Afghan landrace.^[1]

Selection

According to the company, its team found an outstanding lemon-scented plant in 2019 while growing out the Balkh line for preservation; the plant was frostier than most and had an unusual flavour. It says that Khalifa Genetics and Bestgrower_420 then stabilised the phenotype over more than three years "to turn it into a true breeding strain", and it calls the result an IBL.^[1] ACE Seeds, which stocks the line, says that it was "selfed once and then inbred through line breeding".^[2]

Cultivation Details

ACE Seeds puts indoor flowering at 10 weeks and the outdoor harvest in the first half of October.^[2] The company calls the plants easy to grow. It says that they need little care and stretch little, and that good airflow is needed against mould because the buds can be dense and heavy.^[1]

Botanical Characteristics

The company describes bushy plants of indica type with very sturdy stems that need no support and stand up to strong winds.^[1]

Aroma

The company says that the resin leaves a strong lemon and hashish smell on the fingers and that the taste blends lemon with old-style hashish. It calls the lemon scent fresh and natural, unlike the candy-like lemon of many Californian strains.^[1] ACE Seeds adds lime and mint.^[2]

Effects

The company reports a smooth smoke and a strong body stone, potent and long-lasting but relaxing.^[1]
