Few cultivars carry the cult following Hindu Kush has built across the US grow community , and the genetics live up to the reputation. It is a indica-dominant (100% indica / 50% sativa) testing at roughly 18-22% THC, with a flowering window of 8-10 weeks under a 12/12 photoperiod.

Hindu KushEffects & Experience
Hindu Kush is best known for relaxed, sleepy, happy. The effects come on within the first 10 minutes and settle into a stable plateau that lasts 90 minutes to two hours at typical doses. Growers and users consistently note that the high stays true to its profile rather than drifting, what you feel in the first 20 minutes is what you have for the next 90.
Growing Hindu Kush
Growing Hindu Kush fits cooler climates and high-altitude growers, where the compact structure resists wind and the short flower beats early frost. Hindu Kush is photoperiod, which means you control when it flowers by switching from 18/6 (vegetative) to 12/12 (flowering). Most indoor growers veg for 4-6 weeks before the flip. Indoor yields land around 450-550 g/m² under quality LED, and outdoor plants given full sun and 5-7 gallon containers reliably produce 500-700 g/plant. Expected plant height is 120-180 cm, with intermediate cultivation difficulty. Practical tips that move the needle: feed cal-mag from week 2 onward at 2-3 mL per gallon, most reverse-osmosis and soft tap water setups need it; and top once at the 4th node to encourage 4-6 even main colas instead of one dominant cola. The most common challenge growers report is late-flower humidity if your indoor RH climbs above 55% during the final two weeks.
