Afghan Kush marijuana strain has strong hashish smell so popular amongst marijuana smokers. The hardwood sweet taste combined with a very narcotic effect (THC – 21.6%) makes it the bestsellers.
Being auto-flowering marijuana, Afghan Kush Ryder grows from a feminized cannabis seed flower in response to age rather than light cycle. It will grow vegetative for approximately 14 days then enter into a rapid, almost violent flowering period. For the next 55 days, it will branch out profusely, throw out pistils in their thousands, calyxes will swell and a coating of resin glands will make the mature plant glisten as if dusted with fine cannabis diamonds. Being quite petite, Afghan Kush Ryder automatic remains a great yielder, producing as much as 150-200 gr. per m2 when grown indoors.
With a lifespan of a mere 55 days from seed to harvest, it is not only possible to get an early harvest of high quality marijuana but multiple harvests per season. Growing Afghan Kush Ryder indoors recommends 20 hours of light daily throughout the cycle. She is happy to grow outdoors from as early as March with a harvest in May to return to a plant in June with a harvest in August. The increased height compared to earlier auto-flowering strains brings with it increased yield.
