Aroma and flavour

Lineage

Its parents are Blackberry, a fruity strain, and Afghani, a classic landrace indica from Afghanistan.

Indica, sativa and what to expect

Strain names and types are a starting point, not a guarantee. Studies of real cannabis products have found that labels don’t reliably predict a product’s chemistry, and two batches with the same name can differ. Read the product label for THC, and see Does indica make you tired? for why.
