Grow facts come from the breeder first, then seed banks and strain databases. With 2 sources we show the range and the middle; with 3 or more, the range and the median, after leaving out values far from the rest. The breeder's own value is the anchor, unless it is far from every other source (outside their range and more than 20% from their median); then we show the full range and the median of all of them. A fact from a single source is marked "1 source", and a fact no source lists is left out. Yields are converted to one unit: indoor per square meter, outdoor per plant.

CTU writes every profile from these facts; we do not copy other sites' descriptions. Values that are a generic default in the source data are left out. Last checked Oct 21, 2026.

About Hindu Kush

In public strain data, Hindu Kush is classed as an indica attributed to Sensi Seeds.

How strong is Hindu Kush?

Reported THC for Hindu Kush is 19%. That puts it in the lower third of our dataset: its midpoint is higher than about 30% of all strains in our research dataset with a strain-specific THC figure. Potency varies by grower, batch and lab, so read these numbers as typical values, not guarantees.

Hindu Kush aroma, flavor and terpenes

Its most-reported flavor notes are earthy, woody, spicy and herbal. The terpenes listed most often are limonene (citrus), caryophyllene (peppery, spicy) and pinene (pine). Limonene is the lead terpene for about 21% of the high-confidence strains in our dataset, so it is a less common lead. Terpenes shape smell and taste; their levels change from batch to batch.
