What Are the Characteristics of Kush?

Purists, scientists, and collectors are always on the lookout for the elusive landrace strains. These pure strains may exist, but in reality even kush seeds hold similar enough characteristics that they can be grouped into the same family. Since Western cannabis users first started visiting the Hindu Kush region regularly over 60 years ago, there have become various strains and substrains.

 The buds are deep green covered with purple, red, and rust-coloured hairs. The buds are packed dense and thick. The terpenes gives off a strong, earth-toned smell and floral taste.

Like other indicas, kush tends to give a body-high instead of a head-high. It is ideal for relaxation, sleep aid, appetite stimulant, and pain relief. Medicinally, it helps to decrease nausea and holds a wide range of other benefits.

Typically, possessing efficient Kush genetics means a strain would have a few of the following attributes: 

Appearance: Deep green cola and leaves with hints of purple might be present in your strain. Pistils (hair) can look orange, bronze or coloured with rust. Buds come from squat, thick plants and are compact, chunky, and knotted. Indica and indica-dominant hybrids have broad leaves with a short structure. They tend to be bushy, growing faster and better than Sativas. They take less time to bud and flower. This is due to the short growing periods available in their native cold climates.

 Smell: Earthy, herbal, pungent, pine, incense, sweet fruit, hash spice, pepper, citrus, gas, and herbs can differ in smell. 

Flavor: Smoke or mist, flowers, grapes, gasoline, citrus and earth should be smooth and herbaceous.

Effects: Usually, the effects are strong and sedative. Usually, ZOMBIE KUSH crosses are combined with a vivid euphoria that puts a smile on the customer who is couch-locked. A common effect of Kush is introspection or internal reflection as well. As a meditative cannabis variety, these cerebral effects make a strong case for Kush.

If you like the Indica properties, then look for the "kush" keyword. There are a wide range of pure Indica and Indica combinations available online at Canada dispensaries. Always do your homework and check the strain in the definition of the item twice. If you see that anyone uses the word kush to describe a pure sativa, be careful or try to understand why this is said.
