Afghan Kush Auto
Afghan Kush Auto
Also known as: Original Afghan Kush Auto, Afghani Kush Auto, Afghan Kush Autoflower
Overview
Afghan Kush Auto is an autoflowering indica-dominant strain that combines the legendary Afghan Kush landrace genetics with ruderalis to create a fast-flowering variety. The strain maintains the classic characteristics of its parent Afghan Kush, which originates from the Hindu Kush mountain range near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. This landrace variety has been cultivated for centuries and perfected over generations, making it the ultimate source for traditional Afghan hash production.
The autoflowering version was created by Fast Buds through crossing Afghan Kush with their proprietary FB Fem Auto #15 ruderalis genetics. This breeding resulted in a strain that preserves the potent sedative effects and resinous qualities of the original while adding the convenience of automatic flowering. Afghan Kush Auto typically reaches 60-90cm in height and produces dense, trichome-covered buds with a flowering time of just 8-9 weeks from seed to harvest. The strain is renowned for its exceptional resin production, making it ideal for hash-making, and its robust genetics that can withstand harsh growing conditions.
With 85% indica genetics, Afghan Kush Auto represents one of the purest indica strains available in autoflowering form. The buds develop into massive, blunt-topped nuggets covered in a thick layer of trichomes, displaying light green colors with dark green hues. The strain's compact, bushy structure with wide dark-green fan leaves and short internodal spacing makes it perfect for small growing spaces and Sea of Green setups.
