Its sturdy structure adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments. Indoors, it reaches a moderate height and thrives in soil or hydro setups.

Expect large, heavy yields of compact, resin-drenched flowers by around 8 to 10 weeks of flowering.
 
Strain Flavour and Aromas:
 
The flavour and aroma of Afghan Kush are quintessentially traditional. Dominated by earthy and pine notes, the bouquet is complemented by undertones of spicy hash and wood. The terpene profile leans heavily on myrcene, which contributes to its sedative properties, along with caryophyllene and pinene, giving it its spicy and pine-forward scent. The taste mirrors the aroma—rich, bold, and deeply satisfying, particularly for those who favour classic indica profiles.
 
Strain Lineage:
 
Afghan Kush is derived from a pure landrace strain native to the Hindu Kush mountains, one of the oldest cannabis-producing regions in the world. This lineage is entirely stabilised, making it genetically consistent and highly potent. With no hybridisation, it maintains the authentic traits of a traditional Indica, passed down through generations of natural selection and preservation.
