I believe they were mailed back, they may be the reasoning behind only 9 seeds.. I really dont know. But I was gifted 5 of the 9 seeds. I got 3 healthy plants out of these 5 seeds. 1 female and 2 males. These 3 plants will be kicked back to flower within a month. First step is to inbred for f2 progeny, I will also do some tests crossing out the 2 males to different females in my room. Also will be looking into an auto project. Def some interesting genetics, Afghan being one of my favorite strains. I cant wait to see what these are hiding..
There was one other guy that grew out a few of the remainding seeds, and I believe he had 2 females and a male. The male died before he had a chance to inbreed back to his female or females..

I wonder why we are not seeing an influx of Afghani beans being brought back, or, are they coming back and I'm just too baked to notice it.
Although called pure Kush this is a reference to its given name. This line was collected prior to the Soviet Invasion by collector/growers in North America from Southern Afghanistan areas, outside of the Hindu Kush
The tastes are sweet and sour citrus, as are the smells. Indoors they will grow Single large central cola of tight buds. Outdoors these plants will finish in September around 8ft high with a massive, 4ft cola
got my Talk of Kabul from a service member who served in Afganistan in 1996.ToK for short. Came from a warlord in the Kush MTS.who was busted by the US Army for contributing to the Taliban with the proceeds from hash and opium.His family been growing this stuff from before Alexander the Great was there! They burned all his seed except a small hand full my buddy collected.
I can tell you the Tok turned almost a dark purple/black from the roots to the tops on some of the ones that I grew outdoors in 08.Had a nasty med taste to it and was dank as hell! Trechomes were a putrid yellow. When I grew in indoors I couldn`t tell it apart from my Bubba Kush except no coffee smell, just that putrid medicine smell.I also been sitting on some pre-Soviet Kandahar seeds I need to grow out.
Hey Mark are you going to send in some of your TOK to the farm? I got some from another site also got some Cali Conn seeds. Sadly last week I lost all of my seeds due to a house fire. I would like to get a couple packs of your TOK before next spring.
I believe this pic was posed here before but check it out . Could you imagine what it would be like to grow plants like these ! In my wildest dreams LOL !
I was just gifted some landrace afghan seeds from a fellow friend. He sent me 6 seeds,He called them TALIBAN SHADOW KING. These seeds have an incredible background story, and I believe every bit of it!
The guy I got these from had them gifted by one of his best friends. These two guys both served in the army together, and were stationed in Afghanistan serving a tour for the US Army.. The first guy was sent home on a discharge, and the other guy was still on tour. This guy and his company were on a mission in afghanistan to raid and shut down a taliban grow operation.
The following are the words of the fellow i got these from..
This operation was taking place on a mountain named Tirich Mir, which is in the Hindu Kush Mountains in Pakistan and overlooks Chitral.
In Wakhi, “Tirich” means Shadow and Mir means “King” so Tirich Mir means King of Shadows. It got this name as it casts long shadows on the Wakhan side of its face.
The last village in Chitral before reaching Tirich Mir is Tirich Village. Residents of the village are available for hire as porters and tourist guides and will lead trekkers part way up the mountain, but there is a point beyond which they will not go. According to the locals, the mountain is haunted by Jinn (evil spirits), witches and demons.
To reach the operation it required a 12k ft extreme terrain, up hill climb which he said took 3.5 hrs to drive 20 miles up.
They came across a massive grow from what my friend says of 1000's of plants. During the raid my friend found these 9 magic beans.
This took place at the onset of winter and he said some of the plants were purple/red."
THis grow is def going to be interesting to say the least.. What I have, is definitely a true afghan landrace from the citral region..

Tok has a sandlewood/hash/medical taste. Comes on strong and you start thinking This is dank,then you realize it is a creeper and it`s only just starting to hit you.Easy to over do it and up chuck until you`ve smoked it a few times.It has a strong body stone with a fare head high as well.Doesn`t really have couch lock as much as you can fall out of your chair easy on this stuff.Caution should be used when you do stand up as you can lose your ballance easy or run into things before you notis.Blures your vission! Reds your eyes and causes cotton mouth and med hunger.It`s strong enough you can really feel the high even if you have a few joints of Bubba or OG first.It`s buds make fair eye candy when properly dryed and cured.Dark green to violet colour with dark burnt orange hairs and thick velvet like purtrid yellow trechomes. Yield is good indoors or out, bug resistant, mold resistant,whole plant can turn purple/violet and appear solid black with cool fall weather outside.Branches WILL need support outdoors!!! Grows to 7.5 foot tall x 6 foot wide outdoors.Responds well to topping,training,femming,or bending,ect. Would like to try a screen of green out doors with this one someday!
