About Afghan Kush Strain
Afghan Kush is a pure indica landrace strain originating in the Hindu Kush mountain region spanning Afghanistan and Pakistan. It typically tests between 18% and 21% THC and has long been used as a base for hash production in the region.
The effect most people report is a deep, heavy body relaxation with a calming, almost meditative mental effect — a classic "couch-lock" indica experience suited to evening use.
Its flavor is earthy and pungent with sweet, pine, and spicy undertones typical of Kush-lineage strains.
As a landrace, Afghan Kush is naturally hardy and adapted to short growing seasons and harsh mountain climates, with a fast indoor flowering time of about 8 weeks.
