A taste of Afghanistan with every hit

The high altitude, unique climatic conditions, and nutrient-loaded soil of the Hindu Kush mountain range created a haven for natural and untainted Indica landraces, some of which rose to become legendary names in the industry. Afghan Kush sprang from successive crosses amongst Kush varieties that grow wild in this area and is undoubtedly one of the most iconic Indica strains available for home and commercial cultivation today. A popular choice for cannabis connoisseurs, she offers an exotic, hash-like taste and a relentless potency of over 20% THC that is guaranteed to knock even well-experienced users off their feet.

Afghan Kush strain info:

Afghan Kush delivers a near-narcotic stone accompanied by a dreamy cerebral high with an unabating sense of contentment and positivity. Reach for this bud to unwind after a hard workday or enjoy a couch coma on a lazy weekend afternoon. Sharing a deep calm with great therapeutic values, medical cannabis consumers can turn to this strain for relief from chronic pain, stress, depression, and insomnia.

Cannabis enthusiasts who desire a relaxing high that won’t turn the head into a puddle of mush must put Afghan Kush on top of their must-smoke list. This strain’s cured buds, concentrates, and seeds are all accessible. If you wish to earn her flowers through cultivation, good news — this weed is relatively straightforward to grow from start to finish. The plant’s lineage, which originated in the foothills of the Hindu Kush, gave her a robust resilience that allows the beauty to flourish in almost any environment.

Breeders can pass on this sturdiness, amongst her other great traits, to new hybrids using Afghan Kush regular seeds. On the other hand, home-cultivators can grow from feminized or autoflowering seeds to obtain her buds. All seed types are beginner-friendly, but regs entail a few more steps that must be done perfectly if the goal is to achieve unseeded crops.

The terpene load of Afghan Kush is rich in myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene. These contents gave her flowers mainly a sweet and spicy hashish-like quality, with an earthy dank and a touch of skunk lingering in the background. When burned, the buds produce a dense, ultra-thick smoke with a flavor profile that is a direct translation of her scent and an aftertaste that remains for hours on end. Best taken in small drags to avoid coughing fits, she’s precisely what a strain from the well spring of the best Indica landraces should taste.

Unlike many Indica varieties around, Afghan Kush is no creeper. A single toke almost immediately sends waves of warmth and relaxation throughout the body, spreading from the neck to the core and every limb. Anticipate a physical high that hits like a freight train, but without the usual head rush that Sativa-heavy strains tend to produce.

Not the type to render users unconscious, the sedation from this cannabis bud shares an unrelenting desire to take a load off on the nearest bed or couch. The feeling of comfortable and pleasurable laziness leaves no chance of staying productive or mobile. With energy levels enough only to reach for food at hand, catering to the call of the munchies while perhaps the senses engage in a visually-stunning film or moody music is how the Afghan Kush experience usually plays out. After a few hours, the strain’s over 20% THC content brings her profoundly relaxing effect to narcotic levels, inevitably ushering in a good night’s sleep.

Afghan Kush’s deep sense of calm is highly beneficial to many medical cannabis patients. Working hard to provide relief at the onset, the bud soothes the troubling symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety, and PTSD with her uplifting effect. A feeling of physical comfort also manifests with the help of the strain’s analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Their combination eases away pains and difficulties due to conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, migraine, headaches, and even inflammation in the digestive tract like autoimmune disease ulcerative colitis. Lastly, thanks to this flower’s sedating relaxation, users achieve restful sleep without disruption from insomnia and restlessness.

Cannabis consumers susceptible to panic or paranoia and those with a low tolerance for THC must use Afghan Kush in moderate dosages to avoid experiencing bouts of recursive thinking, which may trigger or exacerbate the mentioned mental concerns. Cottonmouth and dry eyes are likely to manifest as well, with the acuteness of the arid sensations greatly dependent on the amounts consumed.

Afghan Kush Grow Info

The landrace genes of Afghan Kush allow for sturdy and resilient growth in adverse conditions, making her relatively easy to care for indoors or out. She develops bushy foliage with robust lateral branching and remains small even when fully grown. To cultivate this strain, you can grow from clones to get the mother plant’s exact traits or start from scratch using regular, feminized, or autoflower seeds.

The Sea of Green (SOG) technique is commonly employed when growing multiple Afghan Kush plants. It allows efficient use of the gardening space, a quick turn-around, and heavier yields. Because the strain is branchy with plenty of broad fan leaves, growers must crop out anything inessential or unpromising to let the big flowering sites thrive. This also eliminates obstructions in air movement and light penetration, which helps prevent molds, mildew, and other pathogenic attacks.

Feminized and Regular
Autoflower

A healthy Afghan Kush reaches around three to six feet tall and is responsive to grow training if you need to keep her within a manageable size. The strain is relatively uncomplicated to grow and will do well in soil or hydroponics. While her proven sturdiness allows her to adapt to almost any environment, she thrives in settings with a temperature between 65 and 80°F.

Indoors, Afghan Kush finishes flowering quickly, with the buds ready for plucking after just 6 to 8 weeks. Her average yield in a well-regulated habitat is around 350 to 450 grams per square meter. Comparably, a sun-grown Afghan Kush typically shares between 300 to 400 grams per plant under ideal climate conditions. Growers in the northern hemisphere can expect to harvest as early as September.

The autoflowering Afghan Kush is a hybrid of Afghan Kush with Lowryder. She’s gone through several back-crossing to guarantee a specimen with stable Indica traits and Ruderalis speed, resulting in an auto that goes from seed to harvest in just 10 weeks. Though her life cycle is brief, she spends 6 to 8 weeks in the fruiting stage, allowing her enough time to produce decent-size yields.

Afghan Kush Auto, like the original, can be grown indoors or out in a variety of climates but is much more resilient against molds and pests. She typically reaches between 40 to 80 cm tall, with a tendency to stretch a bit more in favorable conditions and when sowed in a large pot that encourages vigorous root growth.

An indoor grow operation styled in a Sea of Green setup can produce up to 400 grams per square meter. We recommend going for a 20/4 light cycle and 400-watt grow lamps for every nine plants from start to finish. If you want to cultivate outdoors, starting the cannabis plant inside and moving her out only when the weather becomes warm enough allows you to maximize the grow season and earn two or three harvests from July to October. You may also start another batch once the previous one is almost ready for collection. One Afghan Kush grown in sunny and mild conditions can share an average bund production of 60 grams.

Afghan Kush Strain FAQ

I head a hydroponic grow boosts the harvest’s size and potency. How can I start a simple hydroponic cannabis grow?

Growing cannabis hydroponically is a great way to get large yields with high-quality buds. The process is relatively simple and only requires a few critical pieces of equipment. First, you will need a grow tent or some other type of enclosure where you can control the environment. Next, provide your plants with the energy to grow through grow lamps. Finally, you will need a hydroponic system to deliver nutrients to your plants. There are several different types of hydroponic systems, but Deep Water Culture (DWC) is often considered the most beginner-friendly setup.

Deep Water Culture (DWC) is a way of growing plants hydroponically without a medium. In a DWC system, the plants are suspended in special pots or nets, and their roots reach down into a pool of aerated, nutrient-rich water 24/7. Plants are only watered during the irrigation schedule in other hydroponic methods, such as Ebb and Flow, Aeroponics, and the Drip System.

Inexperienced cannabis growers may benefit from starting off with hydroponics utilizing a substrate like coco coir before moving on to more traditional methods. Coco coir is a very productive way to grow cannabis. It’s like growing in soil, but it boasts many benefits of hydroponic growing, like more rapid growth.
