We bring to you this Indica Kush, a lineage that has produced many champion strains, from the Hindu Kush mountain range in Northern Afghanistan. This particular strain grows wild in the valleys of the Armu Darya River, which forms the border between Tajikistan and Ukbekistan.
As different wild Kush varieties grow side-by-side in such a relatively small area, this very stable, almost 100% pure Indica strain is probably the result of multiple interbreeding. A very special hash taste and smell, she’s a very compact and hardy plant. Owing to her potent, relaxing effect, which is not at all cerebral, Afghan Kush is a pure strain with a very high medicinal value.
Strain FAQ
Has rushing to beat the cold affected strains' cannabinoid content?
The pressure to mature before colder weather doesn't reportedly affect these strains' cannabinoid compositions. Due to their genetic diversity, they are said to be able to produce a wide range of effects.
How do pure Indica strains' effects differ from other cannabis varieties?
Pure Indica strains are said to be like sinking into a soft, plush couch: the effects are mostly physical and provide a deep sense of relaxation that's reportedly excellent for evening or bedtime. Indicas' tranquil sensations come from their classic "body high".
How do hybrid strains benefit from greenhouse cultivation?
Greenhouse hybrids are created to be the best of the best, combining sativa and indica genetics to thrive. These strains reportedly adapt well to greenhouse conditions and have hybrid vigour, which is said to result in faster growth and larger harvests. They are generally sought after by legal greenhouse growers seeking robust and abundant plants.
How has Afghan Kush become pest- and disease-resistant?
Afghan Kush, native to the rugged, mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border, is naturally resistant to numerous pests and diseases. This resistance decreases pesticide use, making it appealing to organic legal growers and those in difficult climates.
How do environmental circumstances affect these strains' hashy taste?
The plant's environment reportedly affects terpene expression and hashy flavour. Terpene production is said to be affected by soil type, temperature, humidity, and light exposure.
