Mazari by Dutch Quality Seeds
Afghan Hashplant
Mazari is a predominantly indica cultivar developed by Dutch Quality Seeds, drawing inspiration from the traditional hashish-producing regions of northern Afghanistan. Named after Mazar-i-Sharif, this strain aims to deliver a classic indica experience with a focus on resin production and stability, suitable for modern cultivation.
Appearance
Mazari plants exhibit a stocky, indica-dominant morphology with broad, serrated leaves and tight internodal spacing. They typically grow between 80-120 cm indoors, developing dense floral clusters. The buds are compact and heavily calyxed, often displaying a frosty resin coating and maturing with rusty orange pistils. Some phenotypes may show muted purple or dark olive hues under cooler temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile of Mazari is often described as earthy and spicy, with hints of skunky musk. Flavor notes can include citrus, orange, and herbal undertones, complemented by peppery and pine characteristics. This complex bouquet is indicative of its Afghan hashplant heritage, potentially enhanced by hybrid influences.
Effects
Mazari is recognized for inducing a sense of calm and promoting focus. Its effects are generally balanced, offering a grounded experience that aligns with traditional indica traits. This makes it suitable for users seeking relaxation without excessive sedation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data varies, Mazari typically contains THC levels ranging from 15-25% and less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile is often characterized by Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Pinene, contributing to its distinct aroma and potential effects. These compounds are associated with its earthy, spicy, and sometimes citrusy notes.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Dutch Quality Seeds, Mazari is rooted in Afghan hashplant genetics from the Mazar-i-Sharif region of northern Afghanistan, historically renowned for high-resin cannabis. While its precise lineage is not detailed, it is understood to be a stabilized indica-dominant seedline, possibly incorporating hybrid elements to enhance vigor and terpene breadth while honoring its traditional Afghan heritage.
Cultivation
Mazari is considered accessible for growers, often noted for its forgiving growth habit and relatively short flowering times, characteristic of domesticated Afghan hashplants. It performs well in indoor and greenhouse environments, producing resin-rich flowers and demonstrating good yield potential, especially when managed with techniques like topping or LST for even canopy development.
