78 LA OG Affie by Aficionado Seed Collection
LA Affie × OG Kush
78 LA OG Affie by Aficionado Seed Collection is a predominantly indica cultivar that merges traditional hash-plant qualities with contemporary West Coast refinement. Bred by Aficionado Seed Collection, it honors the late 1970s Los Angeles Afghani cannabis influx and the influential OG lineages of the 1990s. This strain is characterized by its dense flowers, resinous production, and a deeply physical effect profile suitable for experienced users and those seeking robust relief.
Appearance and Morphology
This strain typically develops dense, cannon-shaped colas with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The foliage is often a deep forest green, with occasional purple hues appearing under cooler nighttime temperatures. Abundant trichomes cover the bracts and sugar leaves, maturing to a cloudy-amber color as the plant reaches its peak ripeness. Its structure is stout, with compact internodes and strong apical dominance, making it suitable for indoor cultivation in tents or closets, reaching heights generally between 24 to 42 inches.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of 78 LA OG Affie is a complex blend that begins with earthy and pine notes, reminiscent of sandalwood. As the flower is broken apart or heated, the scent profile expands to include bright citrus, pungent fuel, and spicy incense undertones. This aromatic complexity translates into a flavor experience that mirrors its scent, offering a palate of citrus, pine, and diesel, often with creamy and earthy nuances.
Effects
Primarily indica-dominant, 78 LA OG Affie delivers a body-led effect profile that is often described as deeply relaxing and physically grounding. It is favored for its sedative qualities, making it a suitable choice for nighttime use. The experience is generally potent, rewarding users with a sense of calm and tranquility.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
The terpene profile is notably rich, with Myrcene, Beta-Caryophyllene, and Limonene often dominating. These contribute to the strain's distinct aroma and flavor characteristics. In terms of cannabinoids, THC levels typically range from 15% to 25%, with CBD content remaining below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG may also be present, adding subtle depth to the overall effect.
Cultivation
Growers often find 78 LA OG Affie to be relatively forgiving, with predictable flowering times and manageable feed tolerance, which is a deviation from some more sensitive OG-derived cultivars. It exhibits strong resin density and balanced morphological traits. The plant's compact structure and dense cola development benefit from early training and support, such as trellis netting, particularly in the later stages of flowering. It is well-suited for various indoor environments.
Origins and Lineage
This cultivar is a creation of Aficionado Seed Collection, a breeder known for curating limited and high-end genetics. Its lineage pays homage to the Afghani hash-plant genetics that became popular in Los Angeles in the late 1970s, combined with the influential OG Kush family that emerged in Southern California in the 1990s. This blend aims to capture the essence of both old-world hash-making traditions and modern cannabis refinement.
