Afghani#1 from Sensi Seeds is an IBL which means that it is very uniform in growth. The reason why I choose this strain was two fold. I wanted to grow a true landrace Indica with limited hybridization and I wanted lots of resin. If you are looking for an original Indica that produces a body stone effect then Afghani#1 is for you. Afghani#1 has some of the darkess leaves you can find on any Indica strain. With higher levels of N the leaves turn a dark green and begin to look like bat wings. Afghani#1 is extremely easy to grow and highly recommended for the novice grower. It is very hard to actually fault this strain as it can grow in the most harshest of conditions and survive almost any nutrient problem or pest attack. Novice growers are highly advised to give this strain a go.
The downside to this strain is that it is only an average yielder and the smell is simply one of strongest you fill find from any strain. If you plan on growing Afghani#1 you will almost certainly need to use a carbon filter. The smell is much stronger than most skunk varities. Afghani#1 does not have much vigour - a result of its IBL stability but it does produce some of the most resionous buds I have ever seen. The resin oozes everywhere causing the pistils to curl up into balls. The overall effect of the cola growth is like clumps of goo at every node region. Afghani#1 is a prime candidate for hashish extraction. This strain also forms the bases for many other Indica strains available today.
I have grown this strain several times and let the harvest time finish a little later than 60 days to increase the body stone effect. The high is a total body stone with a light head buzz. If you leave the strain flower longer it will produce a very strong body stone effect. It tastes like hash.

Growth:
Afghani #1 is a short bushy 100% Indica, with very dense compact buds, that produce shit loads of very sticky resin, definately a scissor cleaner!
I've grown Afghani #1 twice now, and nearly all of them were short and bushy, apart from 1 plant which soared BIG TIME!
I vegged them to around 9" tall under 400w MH, then triggered them, all but 1 plant stayed short, and finished up around 25", but that 1 plant soared to 43" tall, triggered at 9", so if you do notice a pheno, keep in mind it could out grow your room.
Yield:
The yield from Afghani #1 isn't very good, but after a few times growing you can build up the yield, my best is 3 oz per plant finishing at around 35" tall, I suggest tying down (LST) and trigger flowering at least 12", depending on the size of the grow - room to get better yields.
Smell:
The smell wasn't that much of a problem for me, but I do have good odour control, so keep in mind that the smell isn't particularly strong, but could easily go out of control and stink out your house if you grow more than 4 without odour control, but it is quite a nice lemon smell, that turns hashy at harvest time. (55-60 days)
Flowering period:
Afghani #1 is a short flowering Indica that goes from 45 - 60 days, or perhaps a bit more for the major couch lock stone. If you want a laughy/giggly stone, then chop at around 45 days, trust me, your ribs will near collapse, then 3/4 hour later, it will be hard to keep your eyes open, but around 60 days will just put you to sleep.
Overall Afghani #1 is a nice smoke, either sociably, or not, it will put you on your back if you are not careful, it isn't an all - time great, but well worth the effort.

I use a 400w MH/HPS for veg and flower, grow space - 6ft-5ft, I use Canna coco soil, with Canna tera vega/flores nutes, and PK 13 - 14 booster.
I have 2 extractor fans, (4") for the smell and temperature, plus 2 heat mats, incase it gets cold during the dark period.
My flowering pots are 28 - 32 cm, and I feed once every 3 - 6 days, depending on the humidity.

I got 2 seeds from a friend that went to Amsterdam. Both seeds germinated and both where female. Both grew as mothers in GH Waterfarms with BC Technaflora nutes. Clones where took and rooted in an EZ Cloner 30 under a 400w MH. Rooted clones where moved into a GH Aeroflo36 under 1000w MH, vegged for 3 weeks, and flipped the switch at 12" (typically I would veg for 1 week and then flower at 7"-8", but due to lack of space I had to wait to flip the switch). Room is sealed with a AC unit, and blowers on all the lights venting to the roof. Temps are 72F with lights and 68F in the dark with a RH of 60 in day and 80 at night. Flowered with a 1000w and a 400w HPS with full line of BC Technaflora nutes, added GH Floralicious bloom at day 20. Flowering went 56 days, and the trichs where 50% clouded. ( I like to harvest a little early, when the trichs are about 50% clear and 50% cloudy, then after a dry and cure, the rest of the clear trichs change to cloudy, more of an "UP" high for me). Growth was VERY vigorous throughout the entire grow, this strain liked to branch out, so early trimming of the secondary branches are necessary for a SOG grow.
Cut and dry came to almost a pound and a half. Yield was decent, but would have been better if I flowered at 7-9 inches. Drying took approx. 7 days and everything is curing now. Nuggs are indeed ready to smoke even though they have not fully cured. Piney-fruity smell that?s very pungent, soft smooth smoke that reminds me of a pine tree with a hint of citrus at the end. I got 15 grams of bubble hash from the trimmings and under developed bottom growth, and its some of the most potent blonde hash I?ve ever had.

These Afghani #1 were fairly easy to grow for a new grower. They came from Sensi seeds in Amsterdam. Out of 5 seed that were germed in wet paper towel method all cracked open, 2 turned out males and were discarded .
These plans were flowered at 12" to keep height under control due to height restrictions. Out of the remaining 3 females one grew normally 48" when finished. The second one grew to have the size of the first one. The third one turned into a weird runt that grew 5 stems from the base and never grew past 20".
They were grown under 590w of fluorescent lights in a 2x2x6 cabinet indoors. They did required lots of nutrients, otherwise they were very easy to grow and tolerant to mistakes (ie... Over watering/ under watering / over fertilizing). Pure Blend Pro was used as a supplement. Potting medium was 80% MG moisture control and 20% perlite. Watered with tap water.
Trichomes were very amber and cloudy and have a nice couch lock high at day 55. They took approx 7-10 days to dry
I would recommend this to any new grower. I took 3 clones and are vegging those now.

Pure Blend Pro for veg and flower were used as supplemental nutrients during the plants growth cycle.
Watered every 2-3 days, feed PBP every 2 watering as they were nute hogs. Potting medium was 80% MG moisture control and 20% perlite. Watered with tap water.
