Hindu Kush Strain Overview
Hindu Kush, sometimes nicknamed “Hindi Kush,” is a landrace cannabis strain that originates from the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Due to the harsh weather conditions in this region, this cultivar has developed purple hues and an extra thick layer of trichomes, which makes it an appealing choice for hash producers. This sought-after medical cannabis strain contains an average of 22% THC but can be found to test as high as 32%. A popular choice by many for easing stress, nausea, and pain, the aroma of Hindu Kush encapsulates an herbal, pine, and spicy, sweet smell.
