Meet Your Weed:

As a landrace strain, its pure genetics shows off a distinctly exciting flavor and aroma. It has been named one of the 25 Greatest Strains of All Time by High Times magazine.

As the Grande Dame of the Kush clan, this weed has potent effects that will lead any smoker into deep relaxation. Resistance will always be futile, even for the most seasoned smoker. The 15% to 20% THC level results in a heavy body-stone and superb slumber, preparing the user for the next day’s challenges. As the buds are ignited, a complex aroma will fill the entire room. The earthy scent layered with hints of spiciness is supremely delightful. Inhaling the smoke will be a herby experience that leans more on the pine and sandalwood flavor.

Since Hindu Kush is available in both photoperiod and autoflowering versions, cultivating it will be a breeze. Beginners and expert growers will have no trouble as it can be grown in a wide range of environments. Enormous and thick buds can be expected in just a few weeks.

Hindu Kush has an interesting and complex aroma. Apart from the spicy musk that it initially delivers, a sweet whiff of pine and sandalwood immediately follows. An earthy fragrance heightens as it is lighted, reminiscent of wet soil.

Additionally, the flavor is not too far from its pleasant scent. The sweet and spicy attributes combine in a creamy smoke with hints of lemon. All these intricate tastes come together for a rich and indulgent experience. The overall profile of this ganja is particularly alluring for beginners who are new to the cannabis world. Nevertheless, the thick smoke might induce coughing. It is always best to take small, controlled hits with this strain.

You will never know true relaxation until you meet Hindu Kush. Just a puff or two induces tranquility and calm, but with a high dosage, this loud and proud pure Indica strain can usher in a deep slumber swiftly. Although it has a 15 to 20% THC content, it does not produce intense mind-bending effects. Rather, it merely provides uplifting thoughts that clear the mind of any negative obstructions. It welcomes tokers with blissful ideas, then guides them through an adventure of mindful meditation.

The initial impacts are concentrated on cerebral action, but the body will gradually feel heavy as a numbing sensation courses through the neck down to the spine and limbs. Your brain will tell you to stop everything and just let peace take over. Couch-lock is more than likely, so it is a good idea to start your pot session in a safe place where you will feel comfortable vegging out.

This weed is perfect for nighttime use or whenever you need to destress. A few tokes before dinner is also appropriate as it can cause extraordinary hunger. After eating, you can allow your body to succumb to complete relaxation.

Hindu Kush has been prescribed to many medical marijuana patients with psychiatric and physical concerns. Serving as a mood-lifter, it may help manage depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A few hits will bring clarity to the mind and prevent toxic thoughts from piling up.

Furthermore, it has physical benefits via its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Long before synthetic medications were formulated, marijuana was a traditional remedy for pain brought about by inflammation and nerve damage. This strain has a long and ancient history in this regard. Nowadays, it could provide relief for individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), Crohn’s Disease, migraines, arthritis, and muscle spasms.

Because of its mind and body-calming effects, this herb is also an excellent sleeping aid for users battling sleep disorders like insomnia. An attack of the munchies may be experienced, too, so it could improve the appetite of people with eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia. For patients undergoing cancer and HIV treatments, Hindu Kush may provide an avenue to increase calorie intake while reducing nausea and vomiting.

That being said, cannabis usage comes with some side effects, but they can be easily avoided as long as you take preventive measures. The most common are a parched mouth and dry, irritated eyes. Smoking marijuana triggers dehydration, so you should always have your water bottle ready in case you feel thirsty. Moreover, headaches, dizziness, mild paranoia, or anxiety attacks may be experienced by people sensitive to THC. These instances are mostly rare and can be countered by practicing self-control and sticking to low doses.

Grow Info

The Hindu Kush trademarks are its tightly-packed, light-green buds and heavy resin production. The plant shows its true-blue Indica genetics by being short, bushy, and compact. However, it can also grow bigger and wider with ample space. Both the photoperiod and autoflowering versions can be cultivated successfully indoors and outdoors.

Having survived in the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan for centuries, Hindu Kush is familiar with harsh living conditions. This strain can defend itself from pests and diseases; hence it is suitable for beginner growers and experts alike. Keep in mind that it is highly resinous and gummy, so you should wear gloves to protect your fingers when trimming and harvesting.

Due to its compact structure, an indoor setup works best for this plant. Using organic soil as the growing medium helps improve the terpene profile – the terpenes are natural compounds responsible for the aroma of the cannabis and the quality of the high it delivers. And if you wish to increase the yield, implement the Sea of Green (SOG) method. If done properly, the plant will flower in 7 to 8 weeks and generate 400 grams (14 ounces) of bud per square meter.

Despite being naturally resistant to mold and mildew, a little pruning and trimming will significantly reduce the risk of these pathogens ever proliferating. These techniques encourage better air circulation. In addition, make sure that the temperature is between 21 and 29 degrees Celsius (70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit). Don’t let the relative humidity (RH) go higher than 70% for the seedling and vegetative stages, and then lower it to 40 to 50% during the flowering period.

Outdoor cultivation is also possible with Hindu Kush. It prefers warm climates and enjoys basking in the sunshine. Although it is a relatively short strain, it can stretch its branches outward when placed in a garden. The maximum height is 100 to 150 cm (3 to 5 feet) with a 450-gram turnout per plant (16 ounces). The usual harvest time falls between late September and early October. Some experts recommend delaying the harvest for about a week for the buds to mature, giving you an extra kick of potency.

Feminized seeds will generate the highest yields. In contrast, regular seeds require more time and effort, but they are excellent for cloning. Because they have a 50/50 chance of sprouting female and male plants, you should germinate double the number of seeds. Separate the males as early as possible so that they don’t contaminate the flowers, and secure the pollen sacs for future breeding projects if that’s your plan.

Even though Hindu Kush already has straightforward growth characteristics, the autoflowering version makes it so much easier to rear this baby. By adding Ruderalis genes to the original strain, breeders guaranteed extra resilience. Additionally, you will not have to follow the strict light schedules of photoperiods. You will notice that it will automatically flower 7 to 8 weeks after it’s sown, even without changing the light cycle.

Indoors, the SOG technique is highly recommended for Auto Hindu Kush. You can remove some of the bottom growth that does not get enough light. It encourages the plants to focus more on the bud sites on top, but don’t overdo it since excessive cutting may stress them. In a very short time, a small army of these shrubs can produce 400 grams (14 ounces) of potent weed per square meter.

The auto variety of this strain can grow up to 60 to 110 cm (2 to 3 feet) outdoors, and the yield can reach 100 to 200 grams per plant (3.5 to 7 ounces). This may not seem a lot, but you can have continuous production as long as the weather is consistently warm and dry.
