Shared Afghan roots

Leafly lists Hindu Kush, a landrace from the Afghanistan–Pakistan mountains, as a parent of OG Kush, and an Afghani landrace as a parent of Grape Ape; that is as far as the kinship goes.1,3,8 Chemdawg, OG Kush’s other listed parent, has its own guide in the Official Cannabis network at chemdawg.com.
