Growing Tips for Blue Afghani

Blue Afghani is an easy strain to grow, even if it is your first time cultivating cannabis. The ease of this grow is one of the most attractive qualities of this strain. Blue Afghani marijuana plants will thrive both indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the grower’s ability to control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of the Mediterranean. Blue Afghani produces dense Indica buds that are rich in color and resinous trichomes. If you are going to grow outdoors, you will need to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity to get these plants to harvest. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate they require without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. Because these plants grow shorter than most, they require limited space to grow and are perfect for closet grow setups as well as balcony grows. You can also grow multiple plants in a smaller area, which will increase your yields exponentially. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels should be kept at 30-50% during the vegetative stage and slowly decreased into the flowering stage of growth. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and temperature are maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Topping, Low-stress training (LST), and the Screen of Green (ScrOG) methods are the best training techniques for the specific strain of cannabis. Each of these methods will keep the plant a healthy size while also increasing the overall yields once you are ready to clip and dry the buds. The Blue Afghani strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will help to induce the flowering stage and get your healthy plants to harvest without issue.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Blue Afghani strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 350 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. You can overcome these medium-sized yields by growing multiple plants at one time. Because this strain is shorter than the average marijuana cultivar, it is easier to grow in limited space and can produce double or triple the yields in one grow.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.

Blue Afghani: Small but Succulent Plants

The Blue Afghani terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while limonene and linalool are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Known as a spicy and peppery terpene, caryophyllene is most commonly found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and cannabis plants.
• Linalool: Secondary Terpene – Linalool is most commonly found in flowers like lavender and produces a floral flavor and aroma when found in cannabis plants.
• Limonene: Fresh Citrus – Found mostly in the rinds of citrus fruits, limonene is known for helping to decrease anxiety and can improve lung function when found in cannabis.
