If you’re after a reliable, resin-soaked indica that’s been holding it down since the ‘90s, you can’t go wrong with Mazar. Originally bred from a pure Afghan (Mazar-i-Sharif) and crossed with Skunk #1, this strain is all about strength, simplicity, and old-school flavour. Dutch Passion upgraded the line in 1997 for better yields and a softer smoke, and it’s been winning cups ever since.
In the grow room, Mazar is a low-maintenance workhorse. Expect dense, Christmas tree-shaped plants that stay reasonably short but chunk up fast during flower. She does great indoors or in greenhouses and tends to finish in 8–9 weeks, making her a solid pick for growers who like consistent results and a predictable schedule.
The buds are hard, sticky, and dripping in trichomes, especially later in flower. She’s a classic couch-locker, ideal for nighttime use or pain relief. The effect is deeply physical, long-lasting, and known to leave even experienced smokers a bit zoned out. Despite the potency, there’s a pleasant Skunk uplift on the front end that keeps it from being a total knockout right away.
Terpene-wise, Mazar blends sweet citrus and pine with an earthy hashish backbone. It’s not flashy or exotic, but if you’re a fan of that rich, clean old-school smoke, she absolutely delivers. She’s also an excellent strain for hash makers thanks to her resin production.
Bottom line? Mazar is a tried-and-true indica that checks every box: strong, flavourful, easy to grow, and heavy yielding. Whether you’re growing for personal stash or planning a bigger run, she’s the kind of plant that earns her place in any garden.
