Kush’s

Hermannswald The Origins of Kush Genetics Kush genetics emerged from the namesake mountain range. The Hindu Kush spans from Afghanistan in the west, through Pakistan and Northern India, across southern China and northern Bhutan, and southward into Myanmar. Cannabis as a species is believed to originate in Central Asia and the Himalayan foothills, placing Kush genetics in close proximity to the geographical birthplace of the plant. Over time, agricultural interaction with cannabis gave rise to distinct landraces as farmers selected for certain traits, including resin production and yield. While cannabis has a long history of use around the Hindu Kush region, strain hunters eventually brought Kush genetics and other landraces back to the West, where they formed the basis of many modern strains, including those belonging to the storied Kush lineage.
