Mazar is a Dutch Passion classic from the 1990s that has served as the foundation for many new hybrids. This strong, robust Indica is easy to grow and suitable for all types of growers and growing mediums. It is a powerful Indica-dominant hybrid of Afghan origin, known as a classic Kush variety with thick, heavy buds of the highest quality and a pungent, earthy hash aroma.
Afghanica strains are recognized for their compact structure, thick leaves, and rock-hard buds covered in a thick white layer of trichomes. Mazar exemplifies these traits. If you're looking for a robust Afghan with very high yields, Mazar is the perfect choice. A small portion of Skunk genetics adds to its potency, making it one of the most powerful Indica-dominant hybrids available.
Mazar has earned multiple awards since its introduction in the 1990s. She took 2nd prize at the High Times Cannabis Cup (HTCC) in 1999 and repeated this achievement with a 2nd prize at the High Life Cup in 2002, both in the Netherlands. In 2008, she won 1st prize at the Tipo Forte in Bologna, Italy. Finally, she received the Plant Of The Year Award from Soft Secrets Magazine in 2014 for her lasting impact on the cannabis world. These accolades make Mazar a standout choice and a worthy recommendation.
Mazar has an earthy hash aroma with notes of pine, frankincense, and citrus, making it a pungent and highly aromatic strain. The buds are incredibly sticky, a favorite feature of Indica-dominant Kush varieties from the Mazar-i-Sharif region. They are also known for their strong scent profile, with the dominant aroma being that of Afghan hash, earthy and piney in nature.
Additional hints of herbs, incense, citrus, and sometimes sweeter floral notes round out the scent. Squeezing the buds brings out more fruity and citrus-dominant notes. When smoked, Mazar delivers a blend of piney and earthy flavors with a subtle hint of fruit, offering an authentic old-school weed experience.
Experienced growers recognize and appreciate this strain like no other. If you've never tasted a real Mazar before, it's definitely time to start growing these resin-infused buds!
Mazar is an original Afghan Indica crossed with a special phenotype from our legendary Skunk #1. Pure Afghan Indicas are known for their robustness and ease of cultivation. They grow and flower quickly, often withstanding colder temperatures and developing strong branches with thick buds and a good layer of sticky trichomes.
Crossing this Afghanica with our Skunk #1 significantly boosted yields, giving the plants a slightly less stocky structure, making them more adaptable to various growing conditions and suitable for all growers. Mazar is ideal for beginners and can tolerate a fair amount of nutrition during both growth and flowering. With an average flowering time of 8-9 weeks, she remains a fast-flowering Indica.
Mazar is one of the most potent and best varieties Dutch Passion has ever created. Our original Mazar is an 1980s classic, developed from a special Skunk #1 crossed with a high-quality Afghan. In 1997, the genetic mix was improved, and today Mazar remains one of our best-selling and most appreciated varieties.
Mazar is a medium-sized Indica-dominant cannabis strain with a compact plant and bud structure. Her Indica characteristics are most evident during the growth phase, while her Skunk characteristics come to the fore slightly more during flowering.
She has significantly more stretch than completely pure Afghan Indicas, resulting in more buds and larger buds, which ultimately benefits the yield. When grown naturally, it typically has a Christmas tree-like appearance with heavy side branches. The thick buds may need some support during the end of flowering to stay upright.
The robustness and vigour make Mazar an excellent choice for novice growers. It is a true Afghan hash plant with high potency and extreme resin production.
During the growth phase, it can have a short, compact structure with very fat dark green Indica leaves. Some phenotypes have a slightly more open hybrid structure, with fan leaves that can become very large.
The most compact Indica-dominant phenotypes are perfect for a SOG setup. The thick branches, fast flowering phase, and large compact main bloom ensure very high yields. The plants leaning more towards a hybrid structure (with a little more Skunk genetics) can also be grown perfectly in a SCROG setup. You can use these different growing techniques to increase the yield.
