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.
100% pure Indica strain. As different wild Kush varieties grow side-by-side in such a relatively small area, this very stable, 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
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.
Are IBL strains helping preserve traditional cannabis strains?
IBL strains help preserve legacy or landrace strains, which have evolved to adapt to certain geographical settings over centuries. IBLs of these heritage strains can preserve their genetic profiles and features, protecting valuable genetics in a hybridised market.
Do terpene profiles affect mould resistance?
Mold-resistant strains have specific terpene profiles that help them resist mould. Terpenes with antifungal activity in particular can help prevent mould growth.
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.
Why are short-flowering strains popular?
Strains that flower in 55 days are popular for reducing the time investment necessary or in setups with limited space. Their rapid response to different environments lets legal growers maximise yield quickly.
