Nordle

Why did they name this strain Nordle?
During the 1960s and early 1970s, the best hashish in the world was found in tea-houses in Afghanistan. Its resin was sticky, its color and texture were pure. Hashish had a tangy taste and was as sweet as honey from heaven. The high was a dreamer’s paradise. The country’s ruler, King Saber Shah, loved it. The king of Afghanistan was ousted in 1973.

In 1979, the Russians invaded, and the country’s troubles deteriorated and so did the hashish. It soon became a clumsy mixture of a variety of resins from different plants, idly and slovenly screened, then held together by animal fat. Howard first smuggled Afghan hashish in 1970. For reasons that was never fully understood, we (Howard, Shanti and Nevil) referred to it over the phone as ‘Nordle’. This amazing strain is designed to bring those forgotten wonders of the 1960s into your grow rooms and your consciousness.

Heritage: Afghan Skunk
Category: The Naturals – Old school genetics
Family Breed: 50% Afghan, 50 % Skunk#1
Breeder: Nevil and Shantibaba
Preferred Medium: Bio and Hydro, Indoors and outdoors/greenhouse
Expected Yield: Due to its Afghan origins and the particular parent plants one would expect between 500-750 grams per square meter
Flowering Period: Indoor flowering we found certain plants finishing in 6 weeks but this was extreme; what would be normal would be 7-9 weeks. Grown outside in the Northern Hemisphere early to mid October but watch out for rains and mould. In the Southern Hemisphere, March or early April would be expected.
Recommendations: For the inexperienced growers to the most advanced. Especially for greenhouse growers worldwide or short outdoor seasons.
Special Notes: This hybrid is probably one of the most consistently good all-rounders. It has diverse uses and since it was named by Howard as a tribute to the good old days… well what more is there to add?
