Genetics & Origin
Afrodite originates from the breeding programme of the Spanish seed bank Kannabia and combines two well-known European genetic lines: Jack Herer and Black Domina. Jack Herer contributes the Sativa-dominant character, vigorous growth and mentally stimulating properties to the cross. Typical of this line are also spicy, earthy and pine-like aromas, often accompanied by a slight incense-like depth.
Black Domina complements the genetics with pronounced resin production, more compact buds and a physically relaxing Indica component. At the same time, she was used to shorten the flowering time – which is often longer in Jack Herer strains – and to improve productivity. The result is a photoperiod, feminised hybrid that displays predominantly Sativa-dominant structural characteristics, yet flowers much more densely than many classic Sativas.
Afrodite’s heritage explains its combination of height, hardiness and comparatively rapid maturity. With an indoor flowering time of around 58 to 62 days, it combines the lively character of Jack Herer with the efficiency and stability of Black Domina.
Why buy Afrodite from Kannabia?
Buying Afrodite means choosing tried-and-tested Kannabia genetics with a clear lineage and a versatile strain profile. The feminised seeds are particularly aimed at buyers looking for a sativa-dominant strain with a short flowering time, high resin production and a spicy aroma. Thanks to the influence of Black Domina, Afrodite is more compact and efficient than many classic Jack Herer hybrids, without losing its stimulating character. At United Seedbanks, the strain is available in a pack of 5 seeds plus 2 bonus seeds and is dispatched discreetly. Before ordering, germinating or using the seeds, please ensure you comply with the legal requirements of your country.
Indoor and outdoor cultivation
Afrodite is a photoperiodic, feminised strain that can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided this is permitted by law. According to Kannabia, the flowering time indoors is approximately 58 to 62 days. The plants exhibit an upright growth habit typical of Sativa strains; however, due to the Black Domina influence, they produce more compact and heavier buds than many classic Jack Herer lines. Under suitable conditions, an indoor yield of approximately 400 g/m² is reported.
As Afrodite can grow significantly taller during the growth phase, sufficient space should be allowed for the plants to stretch when grown indoors. Even light distribution and good air circulation support the development of dense, highly resinous buds. The strain is also considered to be comparatively resistant to pests and unfavourable conditions.
Outdoors, Afrodite can reach around 200 cm and, under optimal conditions, yield up to 600 g per plant. Harvest is usually indicated as early October. In regions with a short or damp autumn, a sunny, sheltered spot is advisable to ensure the compact buds remain as dry as possible during the final phase.
Effect, cannabinoids and aroma profile
Afrodite is described by Kannabia as having a THC content of up to 22% and less than 0.5% CBD. Its effects combine the mentally stimulating, creative and psychoactive qualities of Jack Herer with the physically relaxing qualities of Black Domina. As a result, the experience may initially be clear, lively and mood-lifting, before transitioning into a calmer, more physical state of relaxation. Intensity and progression depend on phenotype, product, dosage and personal tolerance.
Aromatically, spicy, earthy and pine-like notes dominate, sometimes complemented by incense and a subtle sweetness. No officially published, batch-specific terpene profile is available. The aromas mentioned therefore do not allow for any reliable conclusions regarding specific terpenes or their respective concentrations.
Frequently asked questions about Afrodite
What are the genetics of Kannabia’s Afrodite?
Afrodite is a feminised cross between Jack Herer and Black Domina. Jack Herer contributes sativa-dominant characteristics, vigorous growth and a mentally stimulating effect profile. Black Domina adds compact buds, heavy resin production and a relaxing physical effect. The result is a sativa-dominant hybrid with a comparatively short flowering time.
Is Afrodite an autoflowering strain?
No, Afrodite is a photoperiod strain, not an autoflowering one. The start of its flowering is therefore influenced by the daily light cycle or the days getting shorter as the seasons change. The seeds are sold as feminised, meaning that under normal conditions, predominantly female plants will develop. According to the supplier, Afrodite is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
How long does Afrodite flower indoors?
The stated indoor flowering time is approximately 58 to 62 days. This corresponds to around eight to nine weeks from the start of the flowering phase. Actual maturity may be influenced by phenotype, climate and general conditions. Compared to many classic Jack Herer hybrids, Afrodite is considered relatively fast.
What yield can Afrodite achieve?
For indoor cultivation, a yield of approximately 400 g/m² is stated under optimal conditions. Outdoors, the yield can reach up to around 600 g per plant. These figures are manufacturer’s or strain specifications and are not guaranteed results. Light, location, climate, plant health and available space significantly influence the actual yield.
How tall does Afrodite grow outdoors?
Outdoors, Afrodite can grow to a height of approximately two metres. Its growth is predominantly influenced by the Sativa-dominant Jack Herer side. The Black Domina genetics, meanwhile, ensure denser and more compact buds. The final height depends, amongst other things, on the location, the root space and the climatic conditions.
What does Afrodite taste and smell like?
Afrodite has a spicy, earthy and pine-like aroma profile. Depending on the phenotype, sweet, peppery or incense-like nuances may also be present. The flavour is often described as robust and classic, clearly reminiscent of traditional Jack Herer strains. However, no definitive laboratory profile of individual terpenes has been published.
What effects are attributed to Afrodite?
Afrodite is described as a potent, psychoactive hybrid with stimulating yet relaxing properties. Initially, mental alertness, creativity and an elevated mood may be noticeable. Due to the Black Domina influence, a more pronounced sense of physical calm may set in later. The individual effect always depends on the amount consumed, tolerance and personal response.
