Afghan Kush by Dr Blaze
Landrace Hindu Kush
Afghan Kush, bred by Dr. Blaze, is a hybrid strain with a heritage rooted in the Hindu Kush mountain range. It is recognized for its indica-leaning effects, offering a profoundly calming experience.
Appearance
This strain typically grows compact with thick limbs and broad, deep green leaves. Its buds are dense, resin-coated, and form uniform clusters, often described as grenade-like. Pistils mature from cream to rust or amber, contrasting with lime to forest-green bracts. Some phenotypes may show faint purple mottling under cool conditions.
Aroma & Flavor
Afghan Kush presents an earthy, hashy, and woody aroma with warm spice notes reminiscent of pepper or sandalwood. When consumed, it offers a smooth, woody taste with a lingering hash resin finish, complemented by peppery and herbal undertones.
Effects
The Dr. Blaze iteration of Afghan Kush delivers a sedative, body-centered high. It is known for inducing a heavy-bodied calm and reliable uniformity, making it a popular choice for evening relaxation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab results vary, Afghan Kush is generally characterized by high THC potential, often exceeding 20%, and low CBD levels (<1%). Its terpene profile is noted to be myrcene-forward, supported by beta-caryophyllene and humulene, with accents of pinene and limonene.
Growing
Afghan Kush is typically a stout plant with a modest stretch, making it suitable for indoor cultivation where it commonly finishes between 60-100 cm. It generally flowers in 7-9 weeks, producing dense, uniform buds with high resin potential.
Origins & Lineage
This specific line was bred by Dr. Blaze, presenting an indica/sativa heritage with a distinctly indica effect profile. Its genetics trace back to the landrace cannabis varieties of the Hindu Kush mountains, historically selected for resilience and resin production.
