How to grow Original Afghan Kush Auto
Taste
Seb's take
Afghan Kush stock crossed into Fast Buds' own autoflower line for a sweet, spiced, earthy nose straight out of the old school. The high is sleepy, relaxed and medicinal, delivered on resin-coated buds that develop trichomes early and generously — a fine candidate for the hash bag. Resilient enough to be any outdoor grower's dream.
Where it comes from
Fast Buds take classic Afghan Kush stock and cross it with their own FB Fem Auto #15 to bring it onto an automatic schedule. The Afghan Kush is the heart of it, an 85% indica of genuine old-school heritage, while the ruderalis line supplies the speed and the self-timing. What emerges is a resilient, fast-growing plant with a long history of hardiness behind the newer half. The lineage is bedrock indica material, and the automatic frame simply makes it easier to get to.
Nose & flavour
Sweet, spiced and earthy, a straightforwardly old-school Afghan nose, warm and grounded rather than bright. It carries the classic flavour the record promises, the sort that speaks of hash rooms and older strains. Nothing modern or confectionary here; this is the earthy, resinous register of a pure indica line, and it wears it honestly. A comfortable, familiar aroma to sit with.
The high
A deeply relaxing, sleepy sort of high, the heavy indica weight you would expect of an 85% Afghan plant. It settles over the body and draws you toward stillness, best kept for the end of the day when nothing further is required of you. At 22% THC it has the substance to see the evening out. The sitting-down sort, and unapologetic about it.
Growing it
Compact and quick, a stout 60 to 90cm, finishing flower in an ultra-fast 56 to 63 days, with early trichome development the record makes a point of. Indoor yields sit in the 400 to 500 g/m² band, and a CBD content under 1% rounds her out. The resin-coated buds are made for the hash bag, an old-school flavour and a generous coat of trichomes both. Resilient enough to be, in the record's words, any outdoor grower's dream. A forgiving, productive plant that asks very little in return.
