Zanjeer

Zanjeer is an indica variety from I.L.E. and can be cultivated indoors (where the plants will need a flowering time of ±63 days), outdoors and in the greenhouse. I.L.E.s Zanjeer is a THC dominant variety and is/was never available as feminized seeds.

I.L.E.s Zanjeer Description

Zabul is a province in the Southern Afghanistan, which is located along the Durand Line and borders with Pakistan.

It is a mix of flat land, semi to fully mountainous territories, which are dissected by a few major rivers such as Arghandab river and a number of seasonal rivers that emerge for durations that purely depends on the winter rains, spring rain and the precipitation accumulated in the form of snow on the mountains in a particular year. The droughts have become much more prevalent and a common occurrence in past decade or so, and with no organized watering system the farmers of Zabul are basically left to bear the brunt of Nature by themselves.

The traditional cannabis farmers from these Asian regions are seldom if ever recognized for their continued foundational work around the cannabis plant.

The hash plants grown in this area consistently give off a sweet textured smell built on an aromatic spicy base of fennel, clove, cinnamon like flavours which is quite unique of a profile to be seen in such a consistent manner across a population in Afghanistan. There’s little to no fuel （phenol, toluene） like aromas accompanying the sweet and spicy profile, and neither does it carry any foul/offensive aromas like rotten fruit or meat.

As the season comes to a close towards the October in this region, most of the plants bleed out lucid hues of purples and reds, showing the ability of this strain to produce flavonoids to deal with marginal light conditions and other cold related stress.

There’s a healthy amount of diversity seen amongst these plants in terms of some of the floral elements of the overall population such as bud structure （shape and size）, colours on the bracts and bract leaves, aromas, etc... However, these very populations are also pretty consistent in delivering some of the other broader aspects or features of the plant such as height, amount of stretch during the flowering period, flowering time. Good resin production with overpowering effects to compliment a truly unique bouquet of smells.

Pure first-generation seeds, sourced directly from Afghan growers, reaching the community thanks to the extraordinary preservation and documentation work carried out by the Indian Landrace Exchange collective, in their 'Durand Line 2020' project of research on pure Afghan hash plant traditional strains.

These genetics are therefore incredibly unique, and available in very limited stock.
