Hindu Kush Growing Information
A lot of Hindu Kush reviews reveal that growers love it as it is easy to grow, and it is very economical. It can produce up to 800 grams in one square meter, using the SOG growing technique. Every Hindu Kush review starts with a “super-potent” plant! The plant’s structure is rough as the cold winds of the Hindu mountains were blowing and taking away all the moisture that could be in the canopy of the plants.
Thanks to the resistant and fantastic genetics, growing this weed is anything but hard. As Hindu Kush flowering time is under 65 days, you can be sure that you can grow it successfully outdoors, but if you prefer indoor, have at least 400 Watt lighting system. Also, make sure to have enough airflow. The moisture can be stuck inside the canopy, which can lead to the mold.

a good weed perfect for stress relief
The hindu kush contains 14-18% thc and helps relieve my muscle spasms and cramps after hard workrouts. If youre doing sports, try it.
Great for yoga and meditation. Clears my mind and unites with the universe.
this is really a gift from God. First of all, the smoke is very smooth. Secondly, the smell is fantastic and reminds me of a mix of earthy, pine, and pungent flavors. And the cherry on the cake is certainly the produced effects. A good stuff for relaxatio
no wonder that this strain is sleep-inducing since it contains myrcene one of the powerful terpenes that gives sedative and relaxing effects.
pure indica and one of the most famous strains. even non-stoners must have heard of it
I smoked this pot with my friends the other day. No uplifted feelings or improved mood as other reviewers wrote. Just instantly made us couch-locked. Pure waste of weed.
It is very strong and exactly what I was looking for! Has a pungent earthy smell that made me feel rejuvenated and an instant hit of HIGH that lasts hours! Merci, Hindu Kush!
Such thick smoke is a party favorite!
Definitely not for beginners but I just love how easily you end up smiling after inhaling the thick smoke. Myrcene and camphene rich, this strain is a joyful bliss!
I was planning to feel the euphoria because of THC content I saw on allbud. But this made me so drowsy. Not for me.
Creative mode activated after smoking this joint. Lovely srawingsss I made!
Earthy, Piny and Perfecty!
Whats the smell? I still cant figure out. Piny pungent, earthy?
I have joint pain that vanished in secondsssss. WOW!
The Piny Joint is on point YO!
I had one of the best jams while high on good old Hindu K. I was so fluent, my fingers were simply dancing on the keyboard and I was still able, while high as a f… to do what needed to be done and had a few really chill improvs!
hindu kush is all that…takes you back to the roots man
Im a sativa fan but its nice to have something like this to get you down
Am I the only person who gets overly emotional while high on this pot?
my friend and I bonged Hindu Kush one evening and BAM!!!
I loooooooove Indicas, therfore I enjoy HK as much as all others…
I agree Hindu Kush is not for beginners, but dont skip it if passed :)
Dope bush. Smooth vibe
the One true Kush!
Cool flavor! YUMMY!
Intense high….not for beginners…
Moderate high MJ
I have used this mary jane for various pains such as headaches, joint pains caused by my rheumatoid athritis and any other health issue that might arise last minute. I love the effects of smoking this cannabis because it helps me detox after a long day.
Its a great kush, but effects not as expected. This MJ lasted for a while and mellowed me instantly
It was sour
After smoking Hindu Kush, I felt a bit stoned and slowly drifted away into a galaxy of my own and as I started floating, I fell asleep and woke up feeling very well-rested. I would suggest insomniacs use this kush to get more sleep.
The apperance is beautiful
Useful for headaches
Interesting brown buds
Hindu Kush treated me well because the high was not overwhelming
