She has really started to darken up past purple and on her way to a black color almost. Photo doesn't do it justice. Pollinated her with pollen from her brother.

I have 4 females and 2 males from this line... they were staggered flowering period wise.... The pics you've seen are of the first female to flower.... They all had different leaf sizes some fatter than others. This is one of the other females put into flower a bit later now she is starting to change color as well.

OK it's official one of these is a Black Afghani the others are Red Afghani plants. The joy of open pollination you just might get some variety.
THE BLACK (had to cut its head off due to bud rot )

THE RED

One thing about Indica plants; That bud structure wants a Desert. How they smell ?

The smells are morphing.... They all had the sharpe turpentine aroma at first. The black one is smelling like rotting dead animal..... the red ones are a bit more sweeter but with some foul smell too.

The black one was polinated with a different father than the 2 red ones.... all in the sme family but different brother/fathers.

Rotting dead animal?????? Well you know I'm in line..Still looking for something that keeps that foulness after a cure

I hear you many of the terpenes disappear pretty quickly when cured. We will see about this one.
