Afghanistan is one of the oldest producing countries in the world and has been the cradle of cannabis and hashish culture for centuries. Many of the famous cannabis genetics of today have their roots in Afghanistan.
Purple Afghan Kush Ryder comes from Kush strains grown in the Hindu Kush mountain range and crossed with a specimen of Cannabis Ruderalis Purpusii over several generations. The result of this combination is a strain with indica characteristics and a purple autoflowering flowering pattern.
Purple Afghan Kush Ryder can be grown both indoors and outdoors, reaching heights of 80 to 100 cm or even more. Its potency is high, it has an almost narcotic relaxing effect, which gives it high medicinal value. The aroma and taste of this strain, like its predecessor Afghan Kush, are reminiscent of good Afghan hashish with intense aromatic notes.
Since its flowering is not dependent on the photoperiod, it can be grown outdoors at any time of the year, although its yields are higher in optimal environmental conditions. A good method for growing outdoors is to sow at the beginning of good weather and repeat a few days before the first harvest, which allows for two to three good harvests per year. Some growers even produce more harvests, although in less favorable environmental conditions they are usually less productive. When growing indoors, a cycle of 20 hours of light and 4 hours of darkness is recommended throughout the growth and flowering cycle.
Purple Afghan Kush Ryder combines the best of both worlds: the potency and indica lineage of Afghan Kush, as well as the convenience of autoflowering and now in a purple version. Its aroma and taste of Afghan hashish make it unique. If you are looking for a relaxing and medicinal experience, this strain is a great option.
