Arghandab, Kandahar Afghanistan
*
CROP TYBE ‘b’
*
Crop type ‘b’ is a less catered crop of this place but with significant distinct behavior and expressions the plants really sticks out like sour thumb.
*
However, many plants we found to have coloration which were striking, but this male was dearest to the farmer and was not subjected to cull.
*
Because, farmer preference was to have a healthy male with a late flowering and of course the display of colors.
I don’t think many people understand the difference in farming methods between A and B crops. Is this ’ crop type b" represented by a less tended field of single stem plants crowded together whereas the type A crop would receive more water and room per plant?
How would potency differ between crops? Do the farmers consider the less tended fields a bonus crop or do they also count on these fields to make ends meet.?
Usually, the early harvested plants are not considered so special in Kanadahar, as there is another crop which takes up to 3-4 weeks more and produces exceptional results regarding the quality.
and there are different ways to clean and store hash which ultimately creates a different in products overtime. of course, the catered fields are much in the attention of the farmers and they really put efforts to make something out of them better than the crowded ones.

A Black variant which was present at the edge of the plantation.
The crop was much crowded, but this plant had much of room for the roots to go farther and escape the competition. This resulted in much better branching and more flower production.
We experienced an offensive aroma of meat and dairy with acrid and woody combination which is common in this population.
