Indian Kush
Indian Kush Strain Overview
Indian Kush is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that represents the old-school indica varieties deriving from the Hindu Kush mountain range tradition, though it is not itself a landrace strain. Developed as a cross between Indian Black (also known as Black Domina) and OG Kush genetics, this strain gained popularity during the 1960s and 1970s among hippie travelers who were drawn to its connection to the mystical Hindu Kush heritage. The strain is characterized by its predominantly indica genetics, typically expressing an 80% indica to 20% sativa ratio.
Indian Kush produces resinous, hard buds with a distinctive black violet coloration that makes them visually unique among cannabis varieties. The plants are known for their crystal-covered buds and fast flowering characteristics inherited from their Kush lineage. Indoor growers can expect yields of 350-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivators may harvest 350-500 grams per plant. The strain's robust genetics make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with plants adapting well to various growing environments including greenhouses.
