Hindu Kush is a strain of cannabis seeds that originates from the Hindu Kush mountain range in Central Asia, mainly in Afghanistan and extending to Pakistan. This 100% Indica variety is well-suited to harsh climates, as it grows at altitudes of around 2000m. Hindu Kush has been carefully selected for its quality and stability over many generations, with a focus on preserving its original genetics. It is an excellent choice for indoor cultivation, producing consistent and uniform plants straight from seed.
Hindu Kush has a compact and bushy growth pattern, making it suitable for indoor growing environments. Depending on the specific phenotype, it has a relatively short flowering period of 7-9 weeks and can be harvested outdoors in late September to early October. The large leaves of the plant can be partially removed indoors to ensure sufficient light reaches the lower parts of the plant. Indoors, Hindu Kush can yield 500-550g of high-quality, potent weed per square meter, while outdoor and greenhouse cultivation can result in crops of 500-550g per plant. It is known for its resinous nature, making it perfect for hashish production.
The aroma and taste of Hindu Kush are earthy and spicy, reminiscent of high-quality hashish. The strain provides a relaxing effect on both the body and mind. With its high CBD levels, it is also suitable for medical use in treating spasms and chronic pain. The buds of Hindu Kush are dense, sticky, and covered in a generous amount of resin, with a light green color and some orange hairs. Its THC content has been measured at 24%. This strain is highly recommended for Indica enthusiasts, as it delivers a heavy body effect and overwhelming relaxation, making it ideal for evening and night-time use.
Hindu Kush plants are known for their stress resistance and are easy to grow, making them suitable for beginners. Even novice growers can achieve impressive results with this strain, producing large, sticky buds. Hindu Kush is particularly valued for its effective pain-relieving properties and strong tranquilizing effects.
