The USA-based Northstone Organics is a medical cannabis farm that also grows organic fresh produce and employs sustainable practices; proof of their genuine care for both the quality of their cannabis plants and their impact on the environment. For the fantastically-named Afgoo, they’ve mated an Afghani Kush with a Maui Haze, a sativa-dominant plant from the shores of Hawaii, and come up with an offspring that’s quite the pleasant grow and an even better smoke.

Afgoo plants display the usual small stature of indica influence and very wide leaves, with some enormous fan leaves during vegetation. The leaf-to-calyx ratio can be high on some plants, but after harvest the trim is great for hash making and production of medical edibles. They have a high tolerance for nutrients and will thank you for a good feed with a growth spurt, but also you need to also make sure that they have sufficient access to good light sources.

This is a very sedative strain, which calms and relaxes both the body and the mind. The smoke can be a bit coughey, but is worth it just for the sweet, piney, warm taste alone. As with most indica-dominant highs, it predominantly works on the body, making this an obvious choice for a grower supplying to medical users. It can also put all but the strongest everyday users down for a good night’s sleep if the buds were left longer before harvesting, and give a mildly euphoric haze.
