Afghan Kush delivers classic mountain-born calm in a compact, dependable package. Its 90% indica profile, resin-packed buds, and quick 6–8 week flowering window make it a standout for growers seeking rich old-school character and a deeply relaxing finish.
Rooted in Afghan and Kush landrace genetics from the rugged Hindu Kush, Afghan Kush carries a heritage prized for resilience and consistency. This feminized variety leans heavily indica, with a subtle sativa influence and sturdy growth shaped by generations of adaptation.
Expect an earthy, herbal opening, crisp pine notes, and a deep woody finish. A spicy, hash-like aroma adds extra character, while the resin-coated flowers bring a smooth, rich profile that shines in flower or concentrates.
With THC levels ranging from 16% to 21%, Afghan Kush pairs a gentle lift in mood with a settling, full-body sense of relaxation. Its sedative edge makes it a natural evening pick for unwinding after a demanding day. Effects vary by person.
The terpene lineup brings myrcene’s earthy depth, caryophyllene’s spicy warmth, and alpha- and beta-pinene’s fresh forest notes. Linalool, humulene, and terpineol round out the profile with soft floral, woody, and herbal accents. Its calming reputation makes Afghan Kush popular with those seeking a slower pace and relief from everyday stress or tension.
