I’ve seen some pictures of the deep chunk over the years from you and TH and they always look like this very fascinating but I’ve never seen anything of the actual bud?. Do they produce smokable flowers or is it strictly breeding stock?
grew DC years ago.
at the time it was the most resinous plant I had seen
but the resin was allover ..like snow on those long curled leaves

not for me ....I named it" Resin Lettuce”....for a reason

Yes , they can produce rock hard buds .
Just choose a good one and clone her.
DC clones easily ime
THH is hard to kill

DC and PP look so similar..
Do you mean Peyote Purple?

Hindu kush probably has like 20+ varietals lol what does it smell like though?

Dryed it looks a little like somas lavender, at least an old cut of it that was around Nor Cal back in the day.Yes , they can produce hard rock buds .

In my opinion, it is low yielding because it is pure oldtimey and the way it was. Just as Rob Clarke described it back in the day (79?) "resinous leafy balls" (Monkey Balls) on a short stanky plant. Folks are comparing her to hybrids that they are confusing (by way of breeders wishful descriptions) as pure indicas and well, that's not quite fair.
They'll need to take her out to a long tall sally once before they'll reach the yield of the "pure" indicas that they are accustomed to.Let's recap, the followig was written by Robert Connell Clarke in Marijuana Botany
"c) Hindu Kush Range - Cannabis indica (Afghanistan and Pakistan) - (30 to 37 north latitude)
This strain from the foothills (up to 3,200 meters [10,000 feetj) of the Hindu Kush range is grown in small rural gardens, as it has been for hundreds of years, and is used primarily for the production of hashish. In these areas hashish is usually made from the resins covering the pistil late calyxes and associated leaflets. These resins are re moved by shaking and crushing the flowering tops over a silk screen and collecting the dusty resins that fall off the plants. Adulteration and pressing usually follow in the production of commercial hashish. Strains from this area are often used as type examples for Cannabis indica. Early maturation and the belief by clandestine cultivators that this strain may be exempt from laws controlling Cannabis sativa and indeed may be legal, has resulted in its proliferation throughout domestic populations of "drug" Cannabis. Names such as "hash plant" and "skunk weed" typify its acrid aroma reminiscent of "primo" hashish from the high valleys near Mazar-i-Sharif, Chitral, and Kandahar in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
This strain is characterized by short, broad plants with thick, brittle woody stems and short internodes. The main stalk is usually only four to six feet tall, but the relatively unbranched primary limbs usually grow in an upright fashion until they are nearly as tall as the central stalk and form a sort of upside-down conical shape. These strains are of medium size, with dark green leaves having 5 to 9 very wide, coarsely serrated leaflets in a circular array. The lower leaf surface is often lighter in color than the upper surface. These leaves have so few broad coarse leaflets that they are often compared to a maple leaf. Floral clusters are dense and appear along the entire length of the primary limbs as very resinous leafy balls. Most plants produce flowering clusters with a low calyx-to-leaf ratio, but the inner leaves associated with the calyxes are usually liberally encrusted with resin. Early maturation and extreme resin production is characteristic of these strains. This may be the result of acclimatization to northern temperate latitudes and selection for hashish production. The acrid smell associated with strains from the Hindu Kush appears very early in the seedling stage of both staminate and pistillate individuals and continues throughout the life of the plant. Sweet aromas do often develop but this strain usually loses the sweet fragrance early, along with the clear, cerebral psychoactivity.
Short stature, early maturation, and high resin production make Hindu Kush strains very desirable for hybridizing and indeed they have met with great popularity. The gene pool of imported Hindu Kush strains seems to be dominant for these desirable characteristics and they seem readily passed on to the F1 hybrid generation. A fine hybrid may result from crossing a Hindu Kush variety with a late-maturing, tall, sweet strain from Thailand, India, or Nepal. This produces hybrid offspring of short stature, high resin content, early maturation, and sweet taste that will mature high quality flowers in northern climates. Many hybrid crosses of this type are made each year and are currently cultivated in many areas of North America. Hindu Kush seeds are usually large, round, and dark grey or black in coloring with some mottling."

at least 20 for sure, think I have 5 or 6 myself.
We are drifting...drifting...lmao

"Yes ,it's pure, from Afghan stock, and in my opinion better than plenty of what folks are bringing back from the region today.
If you have a mind to breed Benji I salute you and advise that you proceed directly to an open pollination round without even looking at the first generation. Let pollen fly and make lots of seed.
Of course there are differing phenotypes to be found. I've seen it argued otherwise when folks were trying to justify a low number in selection but that is all nonsense. You'll see everything from skunk to pine to grapefruit to cocoa and hash in this line and that is only regarding flavor. Different genotypes abound considering the age of this line and it is far and away from a plant suffering inbreeding depression like I've seen some try to make her out as. If you ask me, it's just a unique plant (^^^ absolutely true to type) that is simply outside their previous realm of experience. Lots of older heads remember plants like this when they first started showing up in the 70's, how wonderfully bizarre strange and different they were. Most of them went the way of the high quality sativas and got gobbled up by hybrids only to exist today as a memory - this one survived.
If you look around the boards you'll see folks taking her way too long in flower. Listen to Mr. Clarke for he is on the money regarding the following, this plant looses its cerebral psychoactivity and flavor (it all goes to hash) if you let her go too long. In my opinion the plant should be flowered for about 60 days, tops. You'll see plenty of folks dissing her worth after ruining her with 75 days of flower - for purple I guess, a shame in my opinion. Rock on brother, and welcome to the DC club."
