The Afghan Kush strain, predominantly an Indica, has its roots in the Hindu Kush mountains near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. This strain, with a long history of cultivation, is known for its massive, resin-rich buds and has been a traditional choice for hash production, especially for making charas and black Afghani hash.
Noted for its heavy resin content and deeply sedating effects, Afghan Kush typically features a THC content of around 15%. It is highly regarded for its calming effects, providing relief from stress, pain, and anxiety, and is known to induce feelings of sleepiness, hunger, and a sense of giddiness.
When it comes to cultivation, Afghan Kush is recognized for its ease of growth and high yields. The strain produces large, blunt-topped nuggets and is adaptable to both indoor and outdoor environments, making it a versatile choice for growers. This variety has been made widely available for cultivation by the White Label Seed Company, a partner of Sensi Seeds from the Netherlands.
Afghan Kush's earthy flavor profile and robust effects have maintained its popularity among cannabis enthusiasts for generations, making it a classic and revered choice in the cannabis community.
