This article explores everything you need to know about Afghan Noir—from its genetic background and terpene profile to its effects and cultivation traits.

Genetics: Afghani x Sirius Black
Afghan Noir blends Zamnesia’s Afghani with Expert Seeds’ Sirius Black, creating a strain designed for both flavour and resin production. Afghani brings classic hash aromas, compact growth, and heavy resin output, while Sirius Black enhances potency, aromatic complexity, and bud density. Together, they form a 90% indica / 10% sativa hybrid focused on deep physical relaxation and consistently frosty flowers.

Aroma & flavour: Classic hash with depth
The terpene profile is bold and nostalgic, instantly reminiscent of traditional Afghan hash. Earthy, incense-like notes dominate, layered with rich hash tones on the exhale. Subtle hints of wood, warm spice, and dark fruit add complexity. When the dense buds are broken apart, they release an even deeper, more pungent aroma—something that seasoned indica enthusiasts tend to appreciate.

Effects: Deep relaxation and calm
With THC levels ranging from 18–22%, Afghan Noir delivers effects that lean heavily into its indica side. It begins with a gentle cerebral calm that quiets the mind, followed by a gradual descent into full-body relaxation and sedation. This makes it best suited for evening use, when the goal is to unwind, switch off, and ease into rest. Some users also turn to it for sleep support, stress relief, or simply to disconnect after a long day.

Growing characteristics
Afghan Noir grows with classic indica structure—compact, sturdy, and highly resinous. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 70–110 cm and complete flowering in about 8–9 weeks. Yields can reach around 450–500 g/m² indoors, while outdoor plants may produce between 600–800 g per plant. Its structure and performance reflect its Afghan heritage, offering reliability alongside quality.
