This landrace Hindu Kush strain originates from the Tirah Valley in Pakistan, known for producing high-quality hash. Hindu Kush plants are strong and resilient, showing excellent resistance to pests and diseases, and are easy to cultivate.
This indica strain grows to a height of 180-220 cm, with some taller phenotypes having narrow leaves, but most exhibiting Afghanica characteristics. Hindu Kush thrives in temperate highland regions around the world, displaying various shades of green. These plants require a moderate amount of nutrients.
With a dense and bushy structure, Hindu Kush plants develop well-branched side branches and closely-spaced nodes that bear flowers with dense calyx production. Flowering occurs relatively quickly, taking 7-9 weeks, and harvests in northern latitudes are typically ready between September and early October. Each plant can yield 350-1000 grams with well-developed primary clusters, making it an ideal strain for hashish production.
Hindu Kush has a complex aroma, featuring South Asian spices, citrus peel (orange, lemon), and hints of fuel. The taste is spicy, reminiscent of orange peel, with a touch of sweetness resembling overripe bananas and cookies. The effect of consuming Hindu Kush is uplifting, creating a weightless and floating sensation that transitions into relaxation, inducing hunger, and increasing appetite.
