Also known as: Hindu Kush Autoflower, Hindu Kush Automatic, Hindu Kush Auto, Auto Hindu
Overview
Auto Hindu Kush is a carefully bred autoflowering variant of the legendary Hindu Kush landrace, created by crossing the original Hindu Kush genetics with Stardawg and incorporating Ruderalis genetics to introduce auto-flowering traits. This strain traces its roots back to the rugged mountain range that stretches 500 miles between Pakistan and Afghanistan, where the harsh climate and high altitudes shaped the genetics of the original Hindu Kush landrace. Auto Hindu Kush is a 80-90% indica dominant strain that maintains the authentic characteristics of its legendary parent while offering the convenience of autoflowering cultivation.
This fast-finishing strain completes its entire life cycle in just 8-9 weeks from germination (54-63 days), making it an ideal choice for growers seeking quick harvests. The buds are exceptionally resinous and dense, often displaying a crystalline sheen due to their abundant trichome coverage. Auto Hindu Kush typically grows to a compact height of 100-130 cm with a pyramidal Indica structure, making it perfect for discreet cultivation on terraces and balconies. According to High Times magazine, the original Hindu Kush ranks among the 25 best cannabis strains of all time, and this autoflowering version preserves those legendary qualities while adding modern convenience.

Growing Information
Auto Hindu Kush is considered very easy to grow, making it ideal for novice growers due to its autoflowering genetics and minimal maintenance requirements. Flowering time is remarkably fast at 45-50 days, allowing for multiple harvests from the same growing area. Indoor yields range from 400-550 grams per square meter using 300-350W LED panels, while outdoor plants can produce up to 120 grams per plant. The short, bushy stature is advantageous for indoor spaces with low ceilings. Plants thrive both indoors and outdoors in warm climates with plenty of sunshine. The strain is highly resistant to mold, mildew, pests and diseases, and can recover from basic growing mistakes. Prefers dry climates with low humidity and temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Excellent for Sea of Green (SOG) or Lollipopping techniques due to strong branching.
