Hindu Kush – Origins, Genetics, History

Hindu Kush is an original form of marijuana from the Hindu Kush mountains. It is a pure Indica from the area between Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is a landrace strain. A landrace strain is a type of plant that has been domesticated and has found its own niche, growing apart from other members of its species to a new variety. Hindu Kush is certainly that. Regardless of where marijuana originated, it’s clear that this strain has made its own home in a harsh region and become wild and strong as a result. It is a parent of many Kush varieties. Hindu Kush is a pure Indica, in fact, one of the prototypical Indicas. Indicas are varieties that are generally more relaxation-inducing and tend to come from in and around the Indian subcontinent, especially from the Hindu Kush region. These plants experienced and learned to thrive under the harsh conditions on the mountains by producing chemicals to aid them in surviving temperature extremes and pests. These very chemicals are the things we now cherish as they are invaluable recreationally and medicinally. This weed strain is the originator of the lazy weeds that make you relaxed, happy and drifting off into sleep. The Hindu Kush from some of the most notorious mountains in the world will show you the strength needed to survive in those mountains. The plant packs that strength into its powerful buds and delivers it to you for recreational benefits or to fight moderate to severe human ailments.

Hindu Kush: Appearance and Smell

The Hindu Kush plants are typically short, hearty plants. They are resistant to pests, molds, insects, animal attacks, bacteria, viruses, and mechanical damage. Their origin in the rough Hindu Kush mountains also makes them resistant to temperature extremes. The leaves are a beautiful uniform green, with orange pistils, and a thick protective coat of sticky resins and trichomes. The prepared nuggets have a strong piney, lemon scent, with hints of earthiness, oak wood, spicy, floral, and herbal. Hindu Kush plants are packed with cannabinoids, terpenes, trichomes, and other therapeutic ingredients because these are the plant weapons used to send small pests into delirium or act as an insecticide, but for humans, used correctly they are therapeutic, as they act similarly as a pesticide to kill autoimmune, weak, or precancerous cells in our bodies. Pure, landrace plants maintain all the strength of the plant in its natural harsh environment and all the heartiness it used to survive its environment.

For cultivators, the thick covering of trichomes and resins are just the blessings from the plant, rich as they are in THC and other strong cannabinoids, but they are the plant’s way of protecting itself. This coating can protect it from inclement weather, forming a waterproof seal. Human weatherproofing often uses plant resins for the same reason. It protects the plant from pests such as insects, who can get stuck in the resin and be discouraged from trying to take a bite of the plant, or, they may end up with a dose of THC too large for them to chew, and they may either perish or merely go away from the experience having learned not to try to chew on the king product of the Hindu Kush mountains.
