Kush Strains

Seen as a rite of passage for any self-respecting stoner, Kush strains are beloved by the cannabis community at large. With unique genetics dating back many years, the popularity of Kush has remained to this very day. There's genuinely something extraordinary about Kush specimens, and advancements in breeding have only served to make these plants better and more well-rounded. So whether you’re seeking classic Kush seeds or something with a unique edge, there’s a Kush cultivar for you.

Origins of Kush

The origins of Kush can be traced back to landrace strains native to the Hindu Kush mountains, a range that spans Central and South Asian countries such as Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, and India. It's thought that Kush was used for centuries by locals before being rediscovered by travellers on the “hippie trail” back in the 1960s. Since this point, it has been part of the cannabis lexicon, and an extremely popular choice amongst die-hard and casual stoners alike.

Bolstered by a reputation of great flavours, potency, and aesthetics, Kush has gone from strength to strength, with many seed banks adding their own improvements to the classic formula to really cater to all preferences.

Why buy Kush seeds?

You may see the term “kush” a lot when browsing for cannabis. It's often used as a slang term to define any premium-quality strain. However, we're strictly talking about the real deal here, and here's why you should get involved.

Kush predominantly boasts a savoury flavour and aroma, showcasing some earthy and woody-pine notes that are ideal for smoking and vaping (and combine well when crossed with other strain types).

With an average THC content of around 20%, Kush certainly doesn't hold back when it comes to potency. With a unique combination of terpenes, she leans very much toward soothing, relaxing effects, with a full-bodied physical high that will treat you like royalty. This strain is well-suited to both social smoking and those more introspective solo sessions, but in any case, don’t be prepared to do much physical activity after enjoying her.

As a primarily indica-dominant strain, Kush tops out at a manageable height, but features robust growth and churns out sizeable returns indoors and out. This makes her suitable for the experienced and inexperienced grower alike.

Popular Kush varieties

Thanks to its huge popularity, there have been many new Kush iterations and recreations. There's truly a variant to suit all needs and preferences, from hybrids to autoflowering and regular strains.

OG Kush

As arguably the most popular modern Kush variety available, OG Kush came to prominence in the 1990s as a staple of hip-hop culture. This innovative strain from the USA results from crossing classic strains Chemdawg and Lemon Thai with some Pakistani Kush. OG Kush invokes the traditional soothing Kush high, but combines the pine undertones with a bit of citrus to make for a unique and inviting flavour combination.

Afghan Kush

This true old-school strain pulls no punches, offering up the pure, unadulterated Kush experience. When it comes to flavour, she features the classic earthiness with a hint of spice. Rounded off with a respectable THC level, Afghan Kush delivers an extremely relaxing effect that will instantly take the edge off. Perfect for an evening blaze, many turn to Afghan Kush as a way to wind down.

Bubba Kush

Bubba Kush combines the aforementioned OG Kush with a landrace Afghan Kush to create a unique take on the Kush legacy. The strain provides an effortless growing experience that even complete novices will get on with. The end result is a plant that provides huge yields of up to around 1kg/plant of earthy buds to enjoy.
