Afghan Kush

Cannabis Strain by Fatbush Seeds

Introduction
Afghan Kush from Fatbush Seeds represents the foundational indica genetics that shaped modern cannabis breeding—pure Afghan indica with a swift 55-day flowering period. These are the genetics that Dutch pioneers brought from the Hindu Kush mountains to create the commercial seed industry.

Lineage
Fatbush Seeds operates from Spain, offering genetics sourced from established breeders. Afghan Kush traces directly to the Hindu Kush mountain region spanning Afghanistan and Pakistan, where centuries of farmer selection for hashish production created the compact, heavily resinous plants that define commercial indica breeding. The pure indica classification indicates authentic Afghan characteristics rather than hybrid modification.

Terpenes
Pure Afghan Kush characteristically expresses heavy myrcene with earthy, hash-like aromatics and spicy, peppery caryophyllene undertones. This is the original hashish scent—deep, resinous, unmistakably traditional. The terpene profile reflects generations of selection in Afghanistan's cannabis-producing regions for concentrate production rather than dried flower preferences.

Growth
The 55-day flowering period represents typical Afghan efficiency—these genetics evolved in harsh mountain environments where short seasons demanded fast finishing. The pure indica classification produces compact, bushy plants with dense flower formation and heavy trichome coverage. Afghan genetics create resilient plants that tolerate stress and beginner mistakes.

Effects
Effects from pure Afghan Kush deliver classic heavy relaxation—physical sedation, potential couch-lock, traditional evening-appropriate intensity. This is historical cannabis: what indica meant before modern breeding added complexity.
