Auto Afghan Mass by 00 Seeds Bank
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto Afghan Mass is an autoflowering indica hybrid developed by 00 Seeds Bank. This strain is recognized for its compact structure, dense, resin-rich buds, and a rapid flowering cycle. It offers a reliable cultivation experience suitable for various growing environments.
Appearance
Auto Afghan Mass plants are typically compact, reaching heights between 60 to 100 cm indoors and 80 to 120 cm outdoors. They feature thick main stems, closely spaced nodes, and branches that support dense, cluster-like buds. The leaves are broad and dark green, indicative of indica genetics. During maturation, the buds develop a dense structure with minimal foxtailing and become heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance.
The cured flowers are dense and break apart into crystalline calyx shards. Bud coloration ranges from light to deep green, often accompanied by rust or orange pistils. The abundant trichome heads, appearing milky with some amber at maturity, contribute to a gritty, sugar-coated look and suggest a sedating effect.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Auto Afghan Mass is predominantly earthy and reminiscent of Afghan hash. This is complemented by sweet undertones, often described as similar to warm honey or dried fruit, with subtle floral and herbal notes. Upon grinding, a peppery spice is released, suggesting the presence of caryophyllene. During the flowering stage, the scent can become musky with a hint of pine.
Flavors mirror the aroma profile, presenting a rich tapestry of chocolate, coffee, and cream, layered over an earthy and herbal base. Sweet notes of honey and floral hints round out the experience. The overall flavor is complex and satisfying, reflecting its Afghan heritage.
Effects
Users report that Auto Afghan Mass delivers a predominantly sedating experience. This indica-dominant hybrid is known for its relaxing properties, which can lead to a heavy, body-focused sensation. The effects are generally calming and suitable for unwinding.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Auto Afghan Mass typically contains THC levels ranging from 15% to 25%, with CBD content below 1%. The terpene profile includes beta-caryophyllene, which contributes to its peppery aroma and potential anti-inflammatory effects, and humulene, which adds earthy notes and may possess appetite-suppressing qualities. The combination of cannabinoids and terpenes results in its characteristic aroma, flavor, and effects.
Growing
Auto Afghan Mass is an autoflowering strain, meaning it flowers automatically regardless of light cycles. It is valued for its compact size, making it suitable for indoor grows and smaller spaces. The plant is generally forgiving, requiring relatively low training needs and tolerating moderate nutrient levels once established. Harvest typically occurs 65 to 80 days from seed.
Indoor yields can range from 400 to 550 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoors, individual plants may yield between 70 to 150 grams. This strain performs well in various environments, including Mediterranean climates and short-season northern regions, due to its rapid and predictable finish.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by 00 Seeds Bank, Auto Afghan Mass is a hybrid strain with explicit ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics. Its lineage suggests a blend of an Afghan landrace, known for resin production, with a high-yielding hybrid, and a ruderalis donor for autoflowering traits. The name 'Mass' likely refers to its high yield potential, similar to strains in the Critical lineage.
The breeding aims to combine the reliability and resin density of Afghan genetics with the fast-finishing, compact nature of autoflowering varieties. While specific parent strains are not disclosed, the phenotype leans indica, offering a potent and relaxing experience within a convenient autoflowering package.
