Afghan Express AutoA

Afghan Express by Positronics is an autoflowering cannabis strain created from the cross Afghan x Lowryder #2. Here, classic Afghan genetics meet a proven autoflowering line. The result is a fast-developing and uncomplicated strain that combines typical characteristics of its Afghan heritage with the automatic flowering behaviour of Lowryder #2.

When it comes to cultivation, Afghan Express is a comparatively easy-to-grow autoflower that does not require unnecessarily complicated growing techniques. Under suitable conditions, the plants can reach an impressive size for an automatic strain and develop considerably more vigorously than many autoflowering genetics that remain more compact.

In terms of aroma, Afghan Express also remains true to its genetic heritage. The profile is characterized by classic Afghan notes with a distinctive coffee accent. This creates a powerful, more traditional aroma that clearly differs from the strongly fruit- or dessert-focused profiles of many modern autoflowering strains.

Those looking among the Positronics Seeds range for an uncomplicated autoflower with a classic genetic background will find Afghan Express an interesting combination of Afghan and Lowryder #2. Its rapid development, comparatively vigorous growth for an autoflower and characteristic Afghan-coffee aroma give this strain its distinctive style.

• Positronics Seeds: Keeping Old Favorites Alive

Positronics started out as the very first cannabis grow shop in Amsterdam. It was run by Wernard Bruining, who a lot of people call the Potfather of Cannabis. Back then, strains like Skunk #1, Purple Haze, Tropical Mango, and Northern Light were passed on to home growers through his shop. Over the years, many of these became classics. Purple Haze especially built a big following. People loved it for a long time, and it was not easy to find.

Quick Facts

Focus: Feminised seeds from well known old genetics

Types Available: Feminised and autoflowering

Well Known For: Purple Haze, Black Widow, Afghan Express

Works Well For: Anyone who wants stable, older strains in seed form

The original shop closed after running into financial trouble. A grow shop owner in Malaga, Sebastian, who was a big fan of the original strains, brought the brand back. Wernard agreed to share the genetics, and now those seeds are being bred again and sold under the Positronics name. They still offer classics like Purple Haze and Blue Rhino, along with newer options such as the Afghan Express, which flowers automatically and has a strong THC content.
