ACE Seeds Description

Afghan Lemon represents the finest expression of one of the greatest hash plants of all time. This elite cultivar is a highly refined and stabilized phenotype of the legendary Balkh Hashplant, an Afghan landrace that has been cultivated for centuries to produce some of the world’s most exceptional hashish.

During a Balkh preservation run in 2019, the Khalifa team identified a rare, standout phenotype with a distinct lemon aroma, exceptional resin coverage, and an unusually rich terpene profile. This plant showed significantly heavier trichome production than most Balkhi expressions, along with a uniquely clean and vibrant citrus flavor. Over the next two years, Khalifa Genetics carefully stabilized this phenotype, transforming it into a true-breeding and consistent strain.

Today, Afghan Lemon reliably produces vigorous, easy-to-grow plants with dense, resin-laden buds and a pronounced lemon-hash aroma. Simply handling the flowers leaves the fingers coated in sticky resin, releasing an intense, lingering blend of fresh lemon and classic Afghan hash. The flavor mirrors the aroma perfectly, combining bright citrus notes with deep, old-school hash undertones.

Unlike many modern lemon hybrids, Afghan Lemon delivers a natural, authentic citrus profile, free from the artificial candy or chemical lemon scents commonly found in contemporary California genetics. The smoke is exceptionally smooth and quickly induces a strong, soothing body stone. While the effects are potent and long-lasting, they remain balanced, calming, and deeply relaxing rather than overwhelming.

The Balkh province is world-renowned for producing legendary sieved hashish varieties such as Milk of Mazar and The Old Golden One. Afghan Lemon stands as a true tribute to this heritage—the cream of the crop and one of the finest expressions of a legendary Afghan hash plant.

Growing Tips | These Afghan plants are moderate feeders. They require higher levels of nutrients than most landrace varieties, though, not as much as most modern hybrids. Because of their small to medium flowering stretch, it is advised to give these plants at least 2 weeks of vegetative growth before flipping them to flower. As with most Afghan cultivars, good airflow is essential to prevent mold. Indeed, the buds can be quite dense and heavy. This pure Indica can thrive with minimal care and doesn’t stretch much.
