Double Afghani is a modern indica variety derived from an Afghanistan indica lineage. Its development marks a deliberate contemporary selection of these specific genetics, leading to a reliable cultivar that is well-regarded for its ease of cultivation. Growers working in both indoor and outdoor environments can expect a medium yield following a 56-day flowering cycle. As a notable genetic contributor within the cannabis community, this strain is the parent of Afghani Special.

The chemical profile of Double Afghani is dominated by terpinolene, followed by myrcene and pinene. The secondary and tertiary compounds—limonene, caryophyllene, ocimene, beta-pinene, humulene, linalool, bisabolol, guaiol, alpha-terpinene, nerolidol, and gamma-terpinene—round out a complex aromatic and flavor experience. This specific sequence of volatile compounds dictates the sensory profile of the plant, anchored by the lead notes of terpinolene and the supporting earthy and pine-like qualities of the subsequent terpenes.

Functionally, the THC-dominant profile of Double Afghani produces consistently relaxed, calm, and focused effects. These characteristics make the strain particularly suitable for individuals seeking relief from pain, stress, or sleep-related issues. By bridging focused mental clarity with physical relaxation, it serves as a versatile tool for both daytime functionality and nocturnal recuperation.
