Got 4 going right now. If the buds are even half decent, I'm keeping this strain as a stable breeder for a male or something. This thing has taken everything I've thrown its way. Even started experimenting with one. They can go easily a week or so without water, maybe more. They can go weeks without ANY nutrients, they can grow in 80+ temps without stunting, and take all the light you throw at them. They also didn't burn once even when I fed a damn seedling 1000ppm nutes. These are monsters. However, I'm willing to bet the bud doesn't turn out to be up to MY standards.... Like I said though, good breeder if you can keep certain traits.
Now that IS something I can't deny! I thought I had killed all four of them one time after a week of neglect ... they were pitiful. I watered and added a little sea kelp and in 24 hours it was as if nothing ever happened. And I nearly threw them away at that time!

If this is a mutant, LET IT GO! I had a mutant exactly like this once. It grew to look just like a 3 leaf clover, then it didn't grow for 3 weeks! 3 weeks later, it exploded out the top, and produced the best bud I have ever had to this day....
So wait let me see if you are saying I should give it a chance to grow or I shouldn't. I am seeing no true leaves which makes think it might be some sort of mutant. But you suggest I "let it go" even though a mutant gave you "the best bud you ever had to this day". So I am assuming that "let it go" doesn't mean get rid of it, it means let it GROW!!! LOL!!! Am I right?

Curiosity got the better of me. I put 2 in a paper towel. Both of them sprouted and both were female. Pure luck. I grew them in a half gallon pot of soil for 3 weeks under a T5 then cloned them. I put 6 in 5 gallon DWC buckets under a 1000W MH. They've been vegging for a month and I just switched to flower today.

Here are some pictures. I will dry and cure them properly and update you their quality. If I forget just send me a message. They should be smokable by 6/12/16.

And they are hardy. I broke a stem in half while scrogging, taped it up and its thriving.

They are hardy indeed. Looking forward to your finish and smoke report!

Thanks! And its so true what you say about the better and worse stuff we grow. It's all about trying different strains to see what works. These Afghani girls just really frustrate me sometimes! I have a Pineapple Chunk in there with them that will be ready to chop in about 3 weeks so the Afghani girls can hang out in the tent until then. Who knows ... they might blow my mind at the very end! You know our girls are funny sometimes like that. I started four new babies on 3/21 and three of them popped by 3/26. One just popped on the 30th and where the others were all showing signs of their first set of true leaves day 2, this girl still has only cotyledons for four days now unless her first true leaves are hiding DEEP within the crevice of her cotyledons! You ever seen that?

I just checked on her this a.m. and she is still EXACTLY the same. At closer look she doesn't appear to have any true leaves at all waiting to come out! Mutant of some sort perhaps? I just ordered her recently 'cause I heard sleestack was a good frosty strain. Hmmmm. We shalI see. She may jump up outta nowhere and blow the other girls out of the water! LMBO! Much grow love Vino. :leaf:
Ty for the "Grow Love" Chic......back at you with the same. I am going to put a few of the Afghani freebies in the ground along with my VIP Landysh, Dela haze and VIP Viagrra...I am strictly a outdoor grower so I let the ladies sun bathe all summer here in So Cal.

Alright she's too young to be costing me anything to just sit there with the girls who are actually growing so I will watch and see if she does anything! I should see some change by the time the other babies are ready for the veg tent.

I have grown the usual girls, White widow, Skunk#1, Dela Haze, Grand Daddy Purp... so this year I thought I would shake it up a bit and grow a few unknowns...Viagrra and Landysh both by VIP. These intrigued me by the description and buzz. Back in the day as they say, I grew bag seed that was in the stash.....turned out far better than what you bought because it was cured properly instead of moldy compressed crap. The new seed varieties to me are like a kid in a candy store...lol...:weed:

Indeed! I can browse to a seedbank for one particular strain but when it's all said and done I end up with several others that sound exciting to grow! LOL! Yep, like a kid in a candy store. May try that Viagrra after reading about it. :wink:

Yep, really hard not to find others that look great to try.....just not enough room to grow everything that looks fun. I'll send pics as the crop grows this year.8-)

Here are my afghani getting close to a month in veg I think.

I'm really torn, as I don't need these plants as I have healthy clones of plants I know well, but I just cant bring myself to kill them as I feel they are female. Lol

Hi Kiwi, Those are nice looking plants, healthy looking and happy. The taller lanky one I think may be a Male if I guessed, but who knows. I would let them go and see how good the smoke is if ya got the room.

have you tried this method of Reg seed ID...male or female seeds....about 95 accurate....I have tried it and it seems to be true.

Yeah. I was hesitant to grow them because I can't find much about them online other than they allegedly flower in 7 weeks and are pure, non hybridized 100% indica. I decided to give them a try because if they do only take 7 weeks it may be a practical strain to keep alive.

They may be some kick ass stuff.....let me know what ya think as a smoke ! I am going to give some to the sun gods this year in my outdoor garden.

Ugh, all these bad reviews are making me anxious. I have 5 weeks growing them, 1 week in flower. 6 plants in a 5x5 and 4 plants in a 4x4. But they look so nice so far. They scrog so well and really explode with supercropping. More pics.

Take your strain review like your movie review...try it for yourself. Everyone talks about this sucks or this is great. So you gotta find out for yourself. I have a friend who only wants mid. She doesnt like the powerful stuff wont buy it wont smoke it. I too have about 12 of those afghani reg seeds from herbies sitting around. One day...

i got some dinafem og kush free from herbies any1 got a report on it
Know I am a little late on this one but ran the dinafem og kush about 2 years ago that I ordered from Attitude. Yield was not pitiful but it wasn't huge either if I remember correctly. Really big top cola though. Nevertheless, the smaller yield didn't matter 'cause the smoke was the shiznit!! Few puffs and I was straight. Really nice buzz head to toe for me. Now ... Got 2 freebies of it from Herbies the beginning of this year and neither one popped. I was really disappointed but hey they were freebies so whatcha gonna do ya know?
