Afghan Kush
Afghan Kush
Also known as: Afghani Kush, Afghan, Afghani, Pure Afghan
Overview
Afghan Kush is a legendary pure indica landrace strain originating from the Hindu Kush mountain range near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. This ancient cultivar has been perfected over centuries through natural selection in its harsh native environment, making it a 100% Landrace Indica with genetics that remain virtually unchanged from its wild origins. The strain offers an average THC content of 16 to 21 percent and CBD levels of around one to two percent, though some sources report higher ranges. Afghan Kush has been perfected over centuries, making it the ultimate source for hash such as charas and the sticky black Afghani hash. White Label Seed Company, a Sensi Seeds partner from the Netherlands, made its seeds available for everyone to grow. The plant exhibits classic indica characteristics with massive and condensed forest green buds intertwined with bright orange pistils and massive, blunt-topped nuggets full of resin and coming in big yields. Afghan Kush has contributed its robust genetics to countless modern hybrids and remains one of the most influential strains in cannabis breeding history.

Growing Information
Afghan Kush Regular cannabis seeds by White Label produce compact cannabis plants with a short flowering time of six to eight weeks. The strain, with its short plant stature, is relatively easy to grow and ideal for both outdoor and indoor growing. The strain prefers a dry, warm climate similar to its native northern Afghanistan. Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 600 grams per plant. Its landrace genetics make it naturally resistant to many pests and diseases. These plants grow medium and can reach around 4-7 feet in height. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept at 40-70% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage. Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October.
