Auto Afghan Kush
Auto Afghan Kush
Also known as: Original Afghan Kush Auto, Afghan Auto, Auto Afghani Kush
Overview
Auto Afghan Kush is an autoflowering version of the legendary Afghan Kush strain, originating from the Hindu Kush mountain range near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Created by crossing traditional Afghan Kush genetics with FB Fem Auto #15 (Fast Buds autoflowering genetics), this strain maintains the powerful indica characteristics of its landrace ancestor while offering the convenience of automatic flowering. Afghan Kush is a landrace strain that has maintained genetic purity for centuries without hybridization, having been cultivated for its potent effects, distinctive aroma, and high-quality resin production.
The strain exhibits classic indica physical characteristics with short and stocky plants that rarely exceed 1 meter in height, developing a short main cola and shorter side branches with big, wide dark-green fan leaves. Plants produce large-sized thick light-green buds with dark-green hues and an insane amount of trichomes that develop early in flowering, creating massive, blunt-topped nuggets full of resin. The autoflowering genetics allow for a rapid growth cycle of 55-63 days from seed to harvest, making it attractive for cultivators seeking quick turnarounds.

Growing Information
Auto Afghan Kush is a super resilient hybrid and perfect choice for challenging outdoor climates, being anything but picky and performing well with minimal care in less than perfect conditions. The strain is beginner-friendly and easy to manage, making it perfect for new cultivators. Flowering time is typically 55-63 days under optimal conditions, with outdoor grows taking slightly longer. Plants reach 60-90cm in height with wide dark-green fan leaves and can yield up to 500gr/m2 of super resinous buds. The strain shows high resistance against common pests and mold, making it excellent for outdoor cultivation. LST (Low Stress Training) is recommended for better yields, though the strain thrives with minimal intervention. Suitable for balcony or backyard cultivation due to its compact structure and short stature.
