The region is the most eastern part of Afghanistan.

This place is formerly known mostly by Kafiristan (Land of infidels) earlier before Islamic Conquest. The whole region is surrounded by the Buddhist civilization.

Being the greenest part of the Hindu Kush region, comprised of diverse and rich mountainous forest with a domestic unique monsoon climate which nurtures a cannabis population of a short but a very interesting hash plant structure with an ample amount of anthocyanin production.

This region of Afghanistan’s eastern forest situated at southern edge of Hindu Kush comprise of dense vegetation including pine, cedrus and oak trees.

The climate can be described as humid continental as it is not dry enough to be classified as arid or smi arid.

Although, the population of Cannabis grown here has never been properly documented in detail. So, it is very vital to be documented and collected.

The flowers are very well developed mostly and only a primary cola with not much plant tissue on its growth making it the most favorable in the extraction of trichomes.

Females tend to stay mostly shorted than an average male with a dominant profile of acrid and skunks along with sharp sweet and refreshing robust smell.

I think Nuristani indica BLD are from highest alpine elevation, 2500m minimum for broadleafing adaptation and transformation.

Good vibes @LandraceWarden may your next voyage will offer you the time and pass to finding the highest fields cultivated. I think fossil pollen study there should be very interesting, big to Kalash and all Afghani and Paki people!
