How is grown in Afghanistan?
Winter already, Afghan farmers start preparations. The fields are pre-riced for the spring. Then the seeds are grown.
The seeds are evenly distributed by hand at a distance of 50cm. After one week, cuttings are already out. During this time it rains occasionally and the fields get a good irrigation.
Summer starts early and the hot days become more and more in Afghanistan. The temperatures rise in many parts of the country up to 50 degrees celsius. Then the dry season begins. In this time the fields are irrigated weekly by wells or rivers. The cultivation areas are mostly close to rivers or lakes.
The plants get three times fertilizer in the form of horse manure. The first time the plants get horse manure is when the cuttings are big enough. The second time before flowering and the third time at the beginning of flowering.
The weekly watering remains.
Once the plants are mature, the male plants are removed and discarded.
The is harvested only in late summer. In groups, the farmers go and harvest all the plants. The plants are dried on house roofs or in so-called drying houses (especially for drying fruits, vegetables, ).
After the is dry, the plants are beaten on a sieve. This causes the pollen to fall and the so-called Garda (pure hash) is obtained. The first time the plants are lightly tapped so that only the pollen falls.
Then the plants are tapped a second time and the pollen is collected. In Afghanistan, this is usually mixed and then sold.
Some farmers do not separate the plants and want only the seeds.
The seeds are also roasted and eaten in Afghanistan.
