About Black Afghan
Black Afghan, or Black Afghani, is an indica cross reported as Afghani with Black Domina, prized for dark purple-black foliage and dense resin.
Grower listings generally describe Black Afghan as a indica cross of Afghani and Black Domina, though multiple cuts and seed versions circulate without a single verified breeder. It appears in legal flower testing across 4 states between 2016 and 2024, with a large share of lab submissions coming from a single regional producer.
Aroma and flavor
Reported as dark hashish, black pepper and sweet berry earth. Across lab terpene panels, myrcene, pinene and caryophyllene most frequently test as the dominant terpenes, though the sensory balance shifts from harvest to harvest.
Reported effects
Consumers commonly report physical relaxation, heavier evening sleepiness and increased appetite, fitting its reputation for evening or unhurried use. Reported downsides include dry mouth.
