by: Flying Dutchmen Afghanica is an F1 hybrid that is true to its roots. This predominantly Indica plant grows short and stocky, with broad leaves and a thick canopy. Afghanica produces well when gardened inside or outdoors in most temperate regions, but yields are heaviest when it is grown in a sea of green (12-16 plants psm or 3-4 plants psf). Trim away lower branches before the onset of flowering; this allows the plant to devote all available energy to the light-immersed tops. Removing lower branches outdoors late in the season also increases airflow, limiting potential mold or pest problems.
