CHIMTAL - AFGHAN LANDRACE - Field Notes: 10/14/22

(we grew 15 unique Afghan varieties from different regions of Afghanistan) Yet another amazing Afghan landrace variety. This plant is 1 of 3 Chimtals we grew in our Cannabis Botanical Garden - this one is the favorite. NOTE: We have had unusually warm nights for this time of year, so the Afghans have not gone 'black' yet. If the nights were colder, most of these Afghans would be dark purple, brown, and black. Each Chimtal was different in expression, so lots of diversity, but they all had thick rock hard colas by the time of harvest. A few were dangerously thick for moist environments - we did not see any mold at all, but would not recommend such a thick flower for growers in moist/humid environments. This pheno smells like mango chutney, with sweet ripe fruit (not rotten fruit), with exotic spices, a lot of cumin earthy spice.... very deep, rich, and sophisticated. Very strong squat structure, could probably be self supporting (no need for lattice). Overall, very cool plant. The Afghan cannabis cultivators have developed amazing cannabis genetics over generations - and you can feel the history. This is ancient and modern at once.... we really need to recognize, acknowledge, and give thanks to all of the amazing cannabis cultivators from around the world..... stoners are everywhere! - peace
