Mazar is a legendary strain with a rich history that traces back to its origins in Afghanistan. Created by crossing a Skunk #1 with a potent Afghan Indica from the Mazar-i-Sharif region, this strain has gained global recognition. With awards like second place at the 1999 High Times Cannabis Cup and the 2002 Highlife Cup, Mazar has cemented its status as a best-seller from Dutch Passion.
This mostly Indica strain is known for its robustness and ease of cultivation, making it an ideal choice for both novice and expert growers. The Mazar plant grows with a pyramidal structure typical of Indicas and reaches a discreet height of approximately 6.5 feet outdoors, making it perfect for those seeking stealth in their grows.
Its buds are impressive: large, dense, and covered with a thick layer of resin that makes them extremely sticky to the touch. This feature, along with its unique purple flower phenotype (though rare), makes it a gem for any grower. Additionally, Mazar’s buds have a sturdy structure and thick branches that, in the last weeks of flowering, may need support to prevent them from bending under the weight.
Flavor and Effects
The flavor and aroma of Mazar offer a true sensory experience. Its aromatic profile is complex, with citrus and earthy notes, accompanied by a spicy pine resin hint and an incense-like background. When smoked, these nuances intensify, offering a blend of flavors that satisfy the most demanding palates. A good cure can enhance this rich bouquet even further, making each puff a unique pleasure.
Regarding its effects, Mazar is strong and powerful, ideal for those seeking a relaxing and sedative experience. With a THC content ranging from 15% to 20% and low CBD (< 1%), its effects are typically Indica: a sensation of deep relaxation and well-being that can lead to a restful sleep. Perfect for unwinding at the end of the day, it will leave you feeling happy and giggly, laid out on the couch or bed for hours.
Mazar Terpenes
Mazar is enriched with a diversity of terpenes that contribute to its aroma and effects. The dominant terpene is myrcene, known for its herbal aroma and its ability to enhance the strain’s sedative effects, making relaxation deeper. Other terpenes present include caryophyllene, which adds a spicy touch and has anti-inflammatory properties, and limonene, which brings citrus notes and can improve mood.
These terpenes not only enrich the sensory experience but also provide therapeutic benefits such as stress and anxiety relief, reduced inflammation, and improved sleep. Thus, cultivating and consuming Mazar, you not only enjoy exceptional flavor and potent effects but also benefit from its medicinal properties.
Yield and Flowering Time
Mazar is a strain that stands out not only for its flavor and effects but also for its impressive yield. Whether grown indoors or outdoors, Mazar offers outstanding returns, making every effort in its cultivation worthwhile.
Indoors, Mazar is highly adaptable to various cultivation techniques, from SOG (Sea of Green) to SCROG (Screen of Green). With a 300-350 W LED lighting system, growers can expect yields of up to 21 ounces per square yard. The plant starts flowering quickly after changing the photoperiod and is ready to harvest in just 55 days, making it an excellent option for those seeking fast and efficient growth cycles.

Despite its compact size, its yield is astonishing, reaching between 21 to 28 ounces per plant. The flowering time is relatively short, with the harvest ready by the first half of October. During the last weeks of flowering, it’s recommended to use supports for the branches, as the weight of the buds can cause them to bend.
