Hindu Kush effects are mostly calming.
Hindu Kush potency is higher THC than average.
Hindu Kush, also known as "Hindi Kush," is a pure indica marijuana strain named after the mountain range stretching 500 miles between Pakistan and Afghanistan where it originated. The harsh climate of its homeland has conditioned this strain to express a thick, protective coat of crystal trichomes cherished by hash makers worldwide. With a subtle sweet and earthy sandalwood aroma, Hindu Kush induces a deep sense of calm that helps bring relief to those suffering pain, nausea, and stress disorders.

Hindu Kush strain reviews(1,274)

This is a strain I genuinely believe was given to us by the divine. Where to begin...
I suffer from chronic pain, migraines, a spinal cord injury, depression, insomnia and undiagnosed bipolar disorder too. Not one single condition is left untreated by Hindu kush. The flavours are a sort of woody/earthy taste with a slight spicy-ish (if that makes sense!? 😂)
I consume either by rolling with tobacco, bongs and occasionally a vapouriser if I'm out in public and need to medicate. Personally I'd say bong rips of this are the most effective and it will send you to the moon on a funny high, you'll have a strong couch lock so get comfortable with any drinks (unfortunately dry/cotton mouth is bad with this strain) and you'll have a great smoke. It's a sleepy strain and high too, but focused with a floating head high too, your head will be on a swivel if you give in to the high. My missus has also said how it makes me easier to deal with too as I'm less annoying, though I have no idea what she means by that...👀
It's not an easy strain to find, though definitely worth getting if you've never tried it before. You'll be better getting double the amount you plan on buying, I guarantee.
I grew this in my garden this year. Harvested, cured and popped the first jar open last week while wrapping presents. Thank goodness I don’t have anything hard to wrap. It allowed me to hyper-focus but I was in slow motion. No frustration of obsessive thinking just doing. This was the early post-smoke period, so get your tasks done before the hammer comes down. The intense, deep relaxation hits you hard like entering a warm home on a very cold evening. It wraps you up like a newborn baby, soothes all your aches and pains (I have lupus and felt no pain)and it gives you the ability to relax, breathe and feel. Sleep enters gradually but with a firm grip. I work on my feet 13+ hours 4 days a week. This is my new go-to post-shift smoke. My adrenaline is usually still going so it has allowed me to wind down as well as eat before I recover for the next long a$$ night. Fučķ capitalism, grow your own weed!
On the growing side, it was very easy to maintain. Out of the four plants I grew, this one was the easiest. It was short, branchy and bushy so it would do well indoors. (I grew outdoors.) It was hot and dry and this plant loves the heat given its genetics. Medium feeder and not too funky on the final smells. Crazy trichomes and is super sticky after a good long cure. I will need to soak my grinder in some alcohol.
Grower Tips: Try to let your fresh weed cure for at least 6 weeks, use amber jars and store them completely away from light. I use an old duffel bags with old sheets wrapped around my jars.
Yield for one plant was 254 g. On the low end but we were moving across states, needed to put the house on the market and unfortunately our plants could have impacted the sale of our home even though it’s legal in that state! I grew it from a clone but plan to get some seeds and grow it indoors. It is a mainstay for my medicine cabinet. Grow your own, know where it came from and medicate yourself!
My expectations were really high for this :( It's just...Okay. I'd say the smoke is pretty harsh, no matter what I do, even if I smoke it on a low temp, it's still so harsh on my throat, so much so that it kinda makes me not notice/enjoy the effects or flavor that much. The smell of the flower is beautiful though! Smells very herbal with a hint of a flowery, saffron scent. Sadly, woke up the next morning with a sore throat, the smoke is just that harsh.
