Black Afghan Skunk. Century old family heirloom.
Same black year after year. This is not a response to cold-nights or temperature changes. The leaf full black, black pigment all the way inside the inner bud structure and a heavy coating of resin glistening on top.
Afghan hash-plant structure under a skunk nose, dead meat smell. Broad leaf, short internodes. Anthocyanin locked into the fan and the sugar leaf.
Where have you seen a true black afghan like this? and does anyone else have seeds? Im curious in other lines like this.
"Baguio Gold". Dried flower.
A friend in the Philippines sent this.
Baguio sits above Benguet, the old American hill station in the pines, around 1,500 m. Kibungan is the same range. The export name from the 1970s was the color: gold flower off the Cordillera. Most of what still carries the name is a later selection. Lemon, pine, lime, long flower. The market word and the plant got separated.
Pressed logs hide the structure. This does not. Narrow highland sativa, cured, sitting in a palm. The test is the dry nose and whether the calyxes stayed gold or went brown in the cure.

From Himalayan Shepherds to Global Hash Capital.High in the mist-covered peaks of India, the ancient village of Malana holds a secret. In the 1980s, a dramatic shift took place: a traditional, isolated community of sheep-rearers suddenly found their quiet valley at the center of a global boom.Fuelled by surging foreign demand, a local plant transformed their entire way of life.
Today, “Malana Cream” is globally famous for its intense, hand-rubbed resin. Yet behind the legendary, high-dollar reputation lies a fragile reality. This community is caught in a high-stakes balancing act between ancient heritage, booming tourism, and the strict realities of India’s NDPS drug laws.
