Enjoy an easy, rewarding grow with Mazar. Its high yields and super-resinous buds guarantee an abundant harvest. Relax with its potent, happy effects, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. Ideal for beginner and expert growers alike who are after quality and simplicity.
Mazar is a legendary strain with a rich history that goes back to its origins in Afghanistan. Created by crossing a Skunk #1 with a potent Afghan indica from the Mazar-i-Sharif region, it has earned worldwide recognition. With awards such as second place at the 1999 High Times Cannabis Cup and at the 2002 Highlife Cup, Mazar has established itself as a modern classic.
This mostly indica strain is known for its sturdiness and ease of growing, making it an ideal choice for beginners and experts alike. The plant grows with a pyramid-shaped structure typical of indicas and reaches a discreet height of around 2 metres outdoors, perfect if you want a low-profile grow.
Its buds are impressive: large, dense and covered in a thick layer of resin that makes them extremely sticky to the touch. This, along with its curious purple-flowered phenotype (rare, though), makes it a gem for any grower. Mazar’s buds also have a sturdy structure and thick branches that may need support in the final weeks of flowering to stop them bending under the weight.
The flavour and aroma of Mazar are a real sensory experience. Its aroma profile is complex, with citrus and earthy notes, a spicy pine-resin touch and an incense-like background. When smoked, these nuances intensify, offering a blend of flavours that will satisfy the most demanding palates. A good cure can bring out this rich bouquet even more, making every toke a unique pleasure.
As for its effects, Mazar is strong and powerful, ideal if you are after a relaxing, heavy experience. With THC of 15 % to 20 % and low CBD (< 1 %), its effects are typically indica: a feeling of deep relaxation and contentment, perfect for the evening. Ideal for unwinding at the end of the day, it will leave you happy and giggly, stretched out on the sofa or in bed for hours.
Mazar boasts a wide range of terpenes that contribute to both its aroma and the character of its high. The dominant terpene is myrcene, known for its herbal aroma and associated with the strain’s heavy body effect, which makes the relaxation deeper. Other terpenes include caryophyllene, which adds a spicy touch, and limonene, which brings bright citrus notes and a cheerful edge.
These terpenes not only enrich the sensory experience but also contribute to a relaxing, mellow effect that suits the evening. So when you grow and enjoy Mazar, you get not only an exceptional flavour but also potent, deeply relaxing effects.
Mazar stands out not only for its flavour and effects but also for its impressive yield. Indoors or outdoors, it delivers outstanding results, making every bit of effort worthwhile.
Indoors, Mazar adapts very well to different growing techniques, from SOG (Sea of Green) to SCROG (Screen of Green). Under 300-350 W of LED lighting, you can expect yields of up to 600 grams per square metre. The plant starts flowering quickly after the switch in photoperiod and is ready to harvest in just 55 days, making it an excellent option if you want fast, efficient grow cycles.
Outdoors, Mazar keeps to a discreet height of around 2 metres, perfect if you need a stealthier grow. Despite its compact size, its yield is astonishing, reaching 600 to 800 grams per plant. Flowering is relatively short, with harvest ready in the first half of October. In the final weeks of flowering it is a good idea to support the branches, as the weight of the buds can make them bend.
Mazar is a strain we recommend to beginners and experienced growers alike thanks to its ease of growing. Its sturdy, hardy nature makes it a forgiving, easy-to-handle plant.
When it comes to growing conditions, Mazar adapts well to a wide range of climates but thrives especially in warm, dry Mediterranean ones. It is essential that the plants get enough light and are kept in a space with good air circulation to avoid humidity problems.
Mazar stands out for its resistance to pests and diseases. Its strong genetics let it stand up to mould and other common pests. Even so, as with any grow, it is important to check your plants regularly so you can spot any early signs of trouble and act accordingly.
