Original Haze Colombian X Angel Wing Afghan Hashplant by Pagoda Seeds
Original Haze × Angel Wing Afghan Hashplant
Original Haze Colombian x Angel Wing Afghan Hashplant is a boutique sativa-dominant hybrid developed by Pagoda Seeds. This cultivar bridges vintage 1970s Haze genetics with dense, resinous Afghan Hashplant traits, aiming for a balance of uplifting Haze effects and Afghan structure.
Appearance and Morphology
Plants typically display a tall, candelabra-like structure with strong apical dominance, though Afghan influence can lead to tighter branching. Internodal spacing varies, and leaves may start narrow before widening. Buds are generally elongated and tapering, forming stacked spears with a good calyx-to-leaf ratio, often enhanced by the Afghan parentage for more substantial colas. Expect significant resin production, with trichome heads described as glassy and bulbous, suitable for extraction.
Pistils transition from cream to orange-red, and while some foxtailing may occur, it is considered characteristic of the varietal. The late flower period, typically between weeks 8 and 12, sees calyces expand and pack on resin, contributing to an oily, sticky finish.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma is complex, often starting with incense and dried citrus peel notes, complemented by hints of cedar and a sweet, green mango undertone. Upon grinding, brighter notes of sharp citrus, lime leaf, and classic Haze incense emerge, with an undercurrent of pressed charas, sandalwood, and subtle diesel from the Afghan side. Curing can develop spicy notes like cardamom and black pepper.
Flavors on the inhale are bright and herbaceous, featuring tangy citrus zest and sweet cedar, followed by perfumed incense, green tea, and lemongrass. The exhale introduces creamier, woodier notes, with lingering sandalwood, clove, and sometimes faint anise or fennel. The flavor profile is known to evolve with curing and vaporizing temperature.
Effects
This strain is reported to provide a euphoric and uplifting experience, characteristic of its Haze heritage. The Afghan influence is said to ground the high, offering a more focused and potentially less racy sensation than pure Haze varieties. It aims to deliver the electric lift of old-world Haze while maintaining mental clarity.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific lab data for this cultivar is scarce, its genetic makeup suggests a terpene profile likely rich in terpinolene and ocimene from the Haze parent, contributing to citrus and incense notes. The Afghan Hashplant side is expected to contribute myrcene, caryophyllene, and humulene, adding earthy, spicy, and peppery undertones. THC levels are estimated between 15-25%, with CBD content below 1%.
Growing Characteristics
Pagoda Seeds developed this strain to offer a more manageable Haze variant. The Afghan Hashplant genetics are intended to shorten the flowering time compared to pure Haze, potentially by 2 to 4 weeks, and improve resin yield. Plants are expected to exhibit sativa-dominant growth patterns but with enhanced structure and uniformity, making them more practical for indoor cultivation. Yields are noted as potentially benefiting from hybrid vigor, possibly increasing biomass production.
Origins and Lineage
This hybrid is a creation of Pagoda Seeds, designed to combine the resin power of heirloom Afghan Hashplant with the classic sativa character of Original Haze. The lineage traces back to 1970s Haze lines, which have documented Colombian, Thai, and South Indian influences, specifically highlighting a Colombian-forward component. The other parent is a Pagoda-selected broadleaf Afghan type, known for its resin production and robust structure.
