Afghan Kush by Oaseeds Genetics

Afghan Kush Strain Info

Born in the rugged heart of the Hindu Kush mountains, the Afghan Kush strain carries centuries of tradition in every dense, sticky bud.

This isn't just any cannabis—it's a direct descendant of a wild, landrace indica that’s been calming minds and melting bodies long before the word “chill” was even invented.

Think of it as the grandmaster of relaxation, passed down through generations of hash-makers in the valleys of Afghanistan, now ready to bring that same serenity to your grow room or backyard.

Its genetic code is pure indica—90 to 100%—with a reputation for knockout power and old-school charm.

Short, stout, and solid like a mountain monk, Afghan Kush grows into a bushy, dark green beauty with wide leaves and a thick core that looks like it’s hiding secrets.

During veg, she bulks up like a bodybuilder, but it’s in bloom when she really shows off, flaunting her thick, frosty buds like a queen draped in diamonds.

Those resin-coated colas don’t just sparkle—they drip with a richness perfect for crafting traditional hash, a nod to her legendary roots in the black Afghan and Charas scene.

Flowering Time & Yield

This strain doesn’t waste time—she gets down to business fast.

Indoors, expect flowering to wrap up in just 6 to 8 weeks, with resin building up like morning dew on every surface.

If you treat her right under a solid 600W light setup, she’ll easily drop up to 550 grams per square meter (about 19.4 oz).

Outdoor growers who show her some love and support (literally—a good stake goes a long way) can pull in as much as 800 grams per plant (that’s 28.2 oz) by late September or early October.

She stays fairly compact too, with indoor heights around 60 to 140 cm (roughly 2 to 4.6 ft), and outdoor plants reaching a respectable 1.8 to 2.2 meters (about 5.9 to 7.2 ft).

Effects and Aroma

If you're looking for something to spark creativity or keep you energized—look elsewhere.

This is a couch-hugging, eyelid-drooping, snack-destroying beast that wraps your body in a heavy blanket of peace.

The hit is deep and narcotic, the kind that makes time feel slower and pillows softer.

Perfect for ending a brutal day, soothing aching muscles, or simply floating into a worry-free zone where stress can’t find you.

Flavor-wise, it’s like walking through a forest soaked in spice and earth, with subtle notes of aged wood and that unmistakable hashy funk that lingers like incense in the air.

Some say it tastes like a puff of North Indian Charas or a chunk of dark Afghan hash—and honestly, they’re not wrong.

With THC levels around 17 to 20%, it’s got the punch to deliver serious relief, especially for those battling pain, insomnia, or just the chaos of everyday life.

CBD levels remain unknown, but the heavy indica vibes more than make up for it.

If you're into old-school flavor, body-heavy effects, and feminized cannabis seeds that never disappoint, the Afghan Kush from Oaseeds Genetics deserves a spot in your grow lineup.

Growing Tips & What We Love

We’ve grown a lot of strains, but few are as straightforward and rewarding as Afghan Kush.

This one handles pests and mold like a champ, thanks to her naturally high resistance and thick, protective foliage.

If you're in a humid area or somewhere with cooler nights, don’t worry—she's tough and adapts like a pro.

She really shines in temperate and continental climates, especially outdoors where she gets room to spread out and breathe.

We always recommend giving her a solid support system outdoors, like bamboo stakes or a good trellis, to help those heavy buds stay upright and happy.

She’s not ultra-demanding, but we’d say she sits at a medium difficulty level—great for growers with a bit of experience who want a big return without breaking a sweat.

What grabs our attention every time is just how much resin she produces—it’s like each bud gets dipped in sugar, and it starts happening fast, just a couple weeks into bloom.

It’s the kind of plant that makes you excited to open the tent every morning.
