What is the Black Afghani Kush strain?
Black Afghani Kush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Black Afghani Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) that emerged from the legendary cannabis genetics of the Hindu Kush mountain range. This rare strain was created through crossing OG Kush, 76' Afghani, and Black Domina strains, though some sources identify it as a cross between Black Domina and Afghan Kush. Created by Medicann Seeds as an mostly indica strain with approximately 53-day flowering time, this variety represents the result of crossing three amazing phenotypes for exceptional yield and resilience. The strain gets its name from its super dark, almost black buds, featuring dense grape-shaped blackish nugs with dark amber hairs and a spattering of clear crystal trichomes. With up to 22% THC and 5% CBD content, Black Afghani Kush maintains a notable 5:1 THC to CBD ratio. This strain carries forward the time-honored Afghan tradition of hash-making excellence, as its roots trace back to the Hindu Kush mountain range near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, perfected over centuries and making it the ultimate source for hash such as charas and sticky black Afghani hash.
