About Hindu Kush

This pure indica selection from Nirvana Seeds represents a 100% indica lineage with no sativa influence. It is known for a robust chemical profile led by linalool and pinene, producing a fragrance defined by sweet pine, earth, and citrus. With THC levels reaching 25%, the experience is often described as euphoric and deeply relaxing, frequently leading to a sleepy state that makes it a candidate for those addressing insomnia, pain, or stress. Cultivation is considered easy, making it accessible for beginners. The plants reach a height of 120-150cm indoors and finish their flowering cycle in 7-9 weeks. Growers can anticipate a yield of 400-500 g/m² in an indoor environment. The effects are notably uplifting despite the heavy physical relaxation typically associated with its pure indica genetics.
