Hindu Kush

Description

Hindu Kush is a 100% indica strain, with high levels of THC and little to no CBD. It originates from the Hindu Kush mountain range, on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and made its way to the US in the 60s. This strain is earthy in terms of flavor, and has magnificent notes of pine, lemon, and citrus. It’s perfect for an evening smoke as it relaxes and sedates

Along the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan lies a vivid, grand, exotic mountain range; they call her Hindu Kush. She is around 800 kilometers long, stretching far and wide across this region. Beyond just being a geological phenomena, however, this range is also historically significant – said to be some of the earliest origins of Buddhism.

During ancient times, nestled in the mountains one could find small and shrubby, densely-packed Christmas tree looking plants. People began to discover them, harvesting their flowers for various purposes.

Eventually, these shrubby plants within the mystical Kush mountain range would become a new type of global phenomena- the iconic marijuana strain.

The genetic origins of Hindu Kush weed today are as pure as its smoke; offering immense, natural potency and a direct connection with Mother Earth herself.

Hindu Kush has a shorter growth height (normal for most indica strains) and prefers warmer outdoor climates despite its parent strains’ origins.

HOW TO GROW

Hindu Kush also has a reputation for being beginner-grower friendly. It is resistant to changes in temperature and overall climate, so you know it won’t cause you a lot of problems. On average, Hindu Kush will reach a height of one to one and a half meters and can produce as much as 400 grams per plant. Hindu Kush is a strain that grows well using the sea of green (or SoG) method of cultivation.

Sea of green jump starts flowering by ending your veg stage early, after only one or two weeks. This will keep your Hindu Kush at a manageable height. By pushing your pots close together, you will end up with a canopy of thick colas, maximizing your yield.

Hindu Kush is known for being a resin heavy plant. It is believed that many of the first hashes were made from Hindu Kush and similar genetics. The result is a very sticky and dense bud that will bulk up and line your central stalk, forming one huge cola. The buds are typically dark green and coated with heavy crystals, spreading out onto the tasty sugar leaf.
