Also known as: Luxor Kush
Luxor Strain Overview
Luxor is a predominantly indica cannabis strain named after the ancient Egyptian city, reflecting its regal and potent characteristics. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it is generally believed to be a phenotype or descendant of classic Afghani landrace strains, possibly crossed with other indica varieties to enhance its resin production and aromatic profile. Some sources suggest it may have connections to the Hindu Kush region, though this lineage is not definitively documented. The strain gained recognition in the early 2000s within certain cannabis communities, particularly among growers seeking high-yielding, resinous indicas with traditional effects.
Luxor plants typically exhibit classic indica morphology with broad, dark green leaves and a compact, bushy structure. The buds are dense and tightly packed, often displaying deep purple hues mixed with vibrant orange pistils when grown under optimal conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The strain is noted for its robust growth patterns and resilience, making it suitable for various cultivation environments.
Notable features of Luxor include its complex aromatic profile that blends earthy, hash-like notes with subtle sweet and spicy undertones. The strain's effects are characteristically indica-dominant, providing deeply relaxing physical sensations while maintaining some cerebral clarity. Its combination of high THC content, distinctive appearance, and traditional effects has made it a favorite among indica enthusiasts seeking a potent, sedative experience.

Luxor Strain Growing Information
Luxor is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Luxor prefers a warm, dry climate similar to its presumed Middle Eastern/Afghani origins and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Plants remain relatively short, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining low humidity during flowering to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize light penetration and yield. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a gradual reduction in temperature during late flowering to enhance purple coloration.
