Afghan Kush Strain Info
Looking for a heavy-hitting indica that wraps you up like a warm blanket after a long day?
Afghan Kush seeds by White Label Seeds bring you exactly that—pure, sticky tranquility straight from the heart of the Hindu Kush mountains.
This legendary 90% indica strain comes from a lineage that’s been thriving for centuries in the wild, rugged terrain between Afghanistan and Northern India, where charas and hashish are more than tradition—they’re a way of life.
Afghan Kush isn’t here to show off with flashy genetics or trendy hybrid crosses.
This is the OG, the old-school backbone of classic hash-making strains, refined and preserved with care.
The moment these marijuana seeds sprout, you know you’ve got something powerful on your hands.
Afghan Kush grows into compact, bushy plants that don’t ask for much but deliver like a champ.
Think short and stocky, with dark green leaves and branches strong enough to carry the weight of their dense, glittering buds.
Each nug looks like it’s been rolled in sugar, with resin so thick it practically begs to be turned into hash or rosin.
Flowering Time & Yield
The flowering period on this beast is short and sweet—just 45 to 55 days until harvest.
Indoors, expect plants to stay around 100 cm (3.2 ft), ideal if you’re working with limited vertical space.
Yields can reach over 500 g/m² (17.6 oz/yd²) indoors without needing fancy tricks or excessive maintenance.
Outdoors, if you're in a temperate or continental climate with a nice, warm summer, Afghan Kush has no problem thriving under the sun.
It’s not picky, it’s just efficient—like a good friend who gets things done and still has time to chill.
Effects and Aroma
Don’t be fooled by the moderate 15% THC—Afghan Kush hits hard, and it doesn’t need big numbers to prove it.
The high is deeply sedating, wrapping your body in a heavy, blissful haze that makes couches feel like clouds.
It brings on a cozy kind of laziness, the “Netflix, snacks, and no regrets” kind of vibe.
Expect serious munchies, a dumb grin, and zero desire to move.
Ideal for evening sessions or days when you just want to check out from the madness and sink into your own world.
The flavor is classic and comforting—earthy, woody, with a peppery kick that hits the throat like a smooth drag of hashish.
If you love the smell of a Moroccan hash bar, Afghan Kush is going to feel like coming home.
This strain is a love letter to old-school cannabis lovers, with every puff echoing decades of tradition and craftsmanship.
