The fertile lands of Hindu Kush are home to several world-renowned cannabis strains including Afghan Kush, OG L.A. Affie and Afghani Indica. These landrace strains are highly sought after for their impeccable resilience, prolific resin production and robust relaxing influence. To preserve all these coveted traits, the breeders backcrossed several closely-related landraces from the mountains of Hindu Kush, in order to produce a series of hybrids that are, genetically, remarkably similar to their parents. One of these hybrids is L.A. Confidential x Afghan Kush.

L.A. Confidential itself was created from a backcrossing of OG L.A. Affie with its parent – Afghani Indica. This resulted in a sophisticated offspring with abundant THC levels and buds studded with a thick coating of frosty trichomes. With as much as 26% THC, it exerts the profoundly sedating stone typical of Indica-heavy strains.

Afghan Kush is yet another Indica landrace from the Hindu Kush that promises an intense physical experience. Through the years, its genome has been perfected to the point that it now bears insanely resinous buds. It also has excellent resilience against mold, pests, disease and inclement weather.

As you might expect, L.A. Confidential x Afghan Kush bears all the flagship traits of its stellar parents. This crowning jewel is an excellent choice for night-time sessions since it soothes fatigued, anxious minds while gluing the body to the couch. These feminized seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co. will undoubtedly appeal to growers seeking to minimize the effort required to harvest a basketful of premium buds.

Growing L.A. Confidential x Afghan Kush Feminized Seeds

Indica strains hailing from the mountains of Hindu Kush tend to be incredibly hardy, and L.A. Confidential x Afghan Kush is no exception. It can survive in almost any environment, and it's unfazed by most problems that plague cannabis plants. Homegrown Cannabis Co.'s feminized seeds make growing it ever easier, by ensuring an all-female grow 99% of the time, so even beginners can cultivate it with great success.

Like most Indica strains, it sports a bushy and compact structure that can fit in cramped spaces making it an excellent candidate for indoor growing and the Sea of Green technique. When cultivated indoors, you'll need to maintain temperatures around 70 to 79°F and humidity levels around 40% to 50% to keep the plants healthy. Frequent pruning of the excess foliage increases airflow and light penetration, consequently preventing mold proliferation. When the plants are provided with adequate sustenance, each square foot could produce up to 1.63 ounces of snow-capped buds after 8 to 9 weeks of flowering.

If you live somewhere with a warm, dry and sunny climate similar to that of the Mediterranean, outdoor growing is the best option. Letting L.A Confidential x Afghan Kush bask in plenty of sunlight significantly fattens its buds, and each plant could yield up to 14 ounces of trichome-laden nugs by mid-October.

Fragrance and Flavor

L.A. Confidential x Afghan Kush exudes the unmistakable Hindu Kush scent reminiscent of pine, sandalwood and herbs. Tasting it leaves a spicy, herbal aftertaste that lingers on the palate long after exhaling.

Effects

Unsurprisingly, this strain exerts the classic Indica effect and is capable of knocking out even the most hardened cannabis veteran in a matter of minutes. But before it does, it soaks the faculties in a wave of mind-clearing euphoria that's pretty much guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Not only does it uplift the spirits, but it also inspires productivity and creativity.

A few moments after the first hit, the physical effects start to creep in, starting from the back of the head and spreading through the entire body. This awesome herb is great for soothing fatigue and muscle tension, leaving the body feeling light as a feather and fully recharged. In slightly higher doses, the calming high may transcend into a body-numbing stone that paves the way to a peaceful slumber.

Note, though, that it may take a while for the relaxing pull to take effect, so it's vital to refrain from haphazardly increasing the dose. If too much is taken, the consequences could be overwhelming, especially for those with low THC tolerance. In moderate doses, the side effects are usually limited to cottonmouth and bloodshot eyes, but overindulgence could trigger bouts of paranoia and anxiety.

Medical

Apart from its recreational uses, L.A. Confidential x Afghan Kush is also said to offer a number of therapeutic benefits.

Its euphoric effect doesn't just enliven the mood – it may also mitigate symptoms of depression and anxiety thanks to its potent anti-depressant and anxiolytic properties. It's said to have robust anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, which have been used to help treat migraine, backache, arthritis, fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions. Finally, once the mind and body have been cleared of all their discomforts, the session almost always ends with a long and relaxing sleep.
