Kush genetics is one of the most popular, commercialized and respected cannabis strains. This legendary genetic line comes from the secluded mountains of Afghanistan, a country in Central Asia whose surface extends along much of the mountain range known as the Hindu Kush. Where the Kush variety continued its evolution over many millennia.
Hindu Kush gave away its unique genetics - Skunk #1, Sour Diesel, Blueberry, Afghan Kush. Until today, most of the most resinous, powerful and fast flowering varieties come from Afghan genetics. That is why they are so popular and in great demand in many countries of the world.
Over the centuries, Afghan genetics have adapted to the extreme weather conditions of the Hindu Kush mountains. Quite short, strong, with pressed thick buds and with darker, broader and larger leaves (than tropical varieties), dark green color and outstanding resin content.
Strains from this area have always been selected for hashish extraction. For example, Chara is a type of traditional hashish hand-extracted from Afghan marijuana strains - a very powerful dark hashish with an intense flavor.
In addition, the effects of this Afghan kush are more physical, calming and sleepy than their sativa counterparts - the organoleptic properties are very different because the taste is mostly earthy with a hint of hashish (some strains combine this taste with coffee / pine notes).
The extreme climate around this genetics has provided a very specific vegetative behavior - in addition to the previously mentioned characteristics, its flowering stage is also different.
Developing in semidesert climatic zones, far from the equator, only one annual flowering is possible, and the season is different depending on the zone of the country. For example, in northern Afghanistan April-May, and in central-northern Afghanistan May-June. Sowing time fell on a specific day. Local producers harvest in October-December, depending on preference, variety, or weather.
In this situation, the flowering stage of Afghan marijuana strains is faster than that of tropical strains from Central America, South America or South Asia.
This genetics evolved over the centuries, isolated in the Hindu Kush mountain range, until the mid-90s - first discovered by travelers to India and Nepal via Afghanistan.
Visitors tasted Afghan marijuana and got to know the local population. Then wanderers began to return to Europe (Holland) and America (USA) full of Afghan cannabis seeds - the intense earthy taste of these varieties fell in love with consumers around the world, and business focused on selecting and stabilizing more powerful and tasty Afghan strains.
In a few years, the best cannabis breeders have created the current classic delicacy - some mythical strains such as Skunk, AK 47 or Northern Lights. They come from crossing Colombian, Mexican, and Thai strains with Afghan genetics (Cheese, Sour Diesel or Blueberry are also pure Afghan genetics). Consequently, these classic strains have given rise to many other hybrids that are now sold commercially.
For more than four decades, Afghan genetics has spread around the world and driven the most experienced stoners crazy - without the invaluable contribution of these excellent plants, the current cannabis genetics business would not be possible.
Afghanistan produces quality hashish from these strains - currently the Asian country is the main international producer (larger than Morocco with more hectares of annual cultivation and lower production due to the weather). Afghanistan cultivates about 35,000 ha of cannabis, which is 145 kg of hash per year, while Morocco grows about 60,000 ha, and 40-45 kg of hash per year.
