How to grow Afghan Kush
Seb's take
Pure Afghan Kush, unhurried about proving anything further. Wood, incense and earth on the nose, with a smoke that runs solid and smooth; the effect is sleepy, calming, relaxed to the point of time-stopping. A remedy for the end of a stressful day, not the start of one.
Growing Afghan Kush: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod stock. You control when she flowers, which is a responsibility as much as a convenience; the light schedule guide keeps you on the right side of it.
Flowering is done in roughly 8 weeks. The calendar will suit the impatient; the flowering notes will suit everyone.
Expect roughly 130 cm of plant. Manageable, though she'll appreciate a little training if your headroom is tight.
Expect 400 – 500 g/m² — a working grower's yield, reliable rather than theatrical. The harvest guide will see it in safely.
Listed at 23% THC — potent, verifiably. The figure comes from the breeder's testing, not from our enthusiasm.
She smells of earth and heritage; nothing invented, nothing added.
Grower reports give her a relaxed lean: unhurried company for an unhurried evening.
