Hindu Kush: A pure strain with ancestral roots
Origins and Genetics
Hindu Kush , one of the world's most iconic and ancient strains, takes its name from the mountain range that stretches between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is now available in Reunion Island as collectible seeds.

It comes from intact genetics, adapted to extreme conditions, where the climate is harsh and the soil poor. Within a legal framework, this variety is particularly prized by collectors for its genetic purity and historical heritage.
