Also known as: Afghani Hindu, Afghani Hindu OG
Overview
Afghani Hindu Kush is a 100% pure indica landrace strain native to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region, specifically the Hindu Kush mountain range. This legendary cultivar has been cultivated for centuries in its harsh native environment, developing exceptional resilience and potency through natural selection. As a true landrace strain, it has maintained genetic purity without hybridization, making it a cornerstone in cannabis breeding programs worldwide. The strain represents the quintessential indica experience with its distinctive hash-like characteristics that have made the Hindu Kush region famous for hashish production including charas and traditional black Afghan hash. Afghani Hindu Kush displays the classic indica structure with short, bushy plants featuring broad, dark green leaves and compact internodal spacing, perfectly adapted for survival in mountainous terrain with limited sunlight and harsh weather conditions. The buds develop into massive, blunt-topped nuggets that are extremely resinous and sticky, with a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance complemented by amber-orange pistils.

Growing Information
Afghani Hindu Kush is considered grower-friendly and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor plants stay compact at 30-60 inches tall with flowering times of 7-11 weeks (45-77 days). The strain prefers warm, dry conditions similar to its native environment, thriving in temperatures between 70-85°F with 30-50% humidity. Outdoor cultivation requires a warm Mediterranean climate for best results. Plants are naturally resistant to pests and environmental stressors due to their hardy landrace genetics. Indoor yields can reach 350-450g/m² using Sea of Green methods, while outdoor plants can produce substantial harvests. The strain's robust genetics make it relatively easy to grow with minimal expertise required, though proper pruning can maximize yields.
