Mazar-I-Sharif – ApeOrigin

Original Afghani landrace indica with real character

Mazar-I-Sharif by ApeOrigin is a regular cannabis strain with unadulterated roots in northern Afghanistan. This line is based on two classic landrace selections: a Real Seed Company genetics and an Afghan Selection line – both originating directly from the region around Mazar-i-Sharif, a traditional center of Afghan cannabis cultivation.

The targeted crossing of these two genetically independent origins resulted in a particularly robust, pure indica that does not require any modern hybridization. The result is a genetically stable strain with a high resin content, pronounced terpene profile and typical indica effect – ideal for all those who value authentic origins and traditional breeding methods.

Cultivation properties

Mazar-I-Sharif is a variety with excellent adaptability to harsh environmental conditions. Its genetic origin from the highlands of Afghanistan makes it resistant to cold, drought and large temperature fluctuations. This makes it predestined for outdoor cultivation, especially in regions with short summers or unstable autumn weather.

• Indoor: Very suitable, especially for sea-of-green setups
• Outdoor: Ideal in temperate to cooler climates – tolerant of humidity and late frost
• Growth habit: Tall and bushy with dominant main cola
• Care requirements: Low – frugal in terms of fertilizer and water
• Flowering time: approx. 8 weeks (indoor) / outdoor harvest from mid to end of October

Even for beginners, this variety offers stable results with minimal risk. With sufficient space and light, it delivers impressive yields with high resin production.

Aroma & taste

A special feature of this variety is its intense, multi-layered terpene profile. The aroma is characterized by sweet honeydew melon, combined with earthy, spicy notes reminiscent of oriental spice markets.

• Aroma: Tropical-fruity, dominated by ripe melon, combined with resinous and spicy undertones
• Taste: Natural, aromatic, smooth – with a clear match to the fragrance profile
• Special feature: Very suitable for traditional hashish production and modern extraction processes

The pronounced resin formation makes them particularly attractive for lovers of dry extracts and concentrates. Both mechanical and solvent-based methods deliver the best results here.

Effect & cannabinoid profile

• THC content: Up to 20
• CBD content: Naturally contained, but not dominant
• Effect: Physically relaxing, calming, slightly mood-enhancing

Mazar-I-Sharif has a gently grounding effect without being overly sedating. It is ideal for evening use, for relaxation, to reduce stress or to promote sleep. Even consumers with a low tolerance find the effect pleasantly dosable.

Mazar-I-Sharif – ApeOrigin is a true landrace Indica, bred from two proven, non-hybridized lines. This strain stands for tradition, robustness and natural quality – an ideal companion for anyone looking for an original, Afghan-influenced cannabis strain with a strong character and rich history.
