Afghan Sour Kush has a highly potent hybrid with some batches testing to have as much as 21% THC.
While it is mostly Indica, it can still send users on a euphoric high.
Much of its heritage is an influence of the landrace Afghani strain.
Apart from its sedating qualities, it is also a plant that can withstand harsh growing conditions.

As a side benefit, it is also a mild anti-depressant.
Combining that with the uplifting psychedelic high, it can also help people overcome depression.
Another significant benefit of Afghan Sour Kush is its ability to relieve pains including eye pressure and headaches.
Once the sedating properties of the Indica side take over the body, it can numb muscles aches.
During the cerebral head high, the energizing effects can help people fight off fatigue.
Its best use though is to help users chill and settle down after a tiring day.
And, because it promotes sleepiness, even insomniacs should find it capable of aiding in quality sleep.

Growing
Growing Afghan Sour Kush indoors or outdoors is not that difficult.
One thing to consider before planting it is the pungent odor it emits.
If that is not a concern at all especially in an open area, then it is best cultivated in a warm climate.
On the other hand, most growers do cultivate indoors.
Apart from privacy issues, it is also because using an enclosure allows for the installation of an odor-control filter.
Using soil allows the plant to have optimal flavors, but for a faster growth rate, hydroponics is the best way to go.
Although the plant is mostly Indica, its flowering range is a little longer than typical.
Once mature, it tends to have small round light minty green nugs covered with thin layer of twisty dark purple hairs along with dark forest green undertone.
