What are Kush cannabis strains?

 

There are many different types of cannabis from Skunk strains to Haze, from Indica to Sativa. You can find products made from different cannabis strains at the dispensaries in Dillon Colorado. You can grow strains rich in THC, CBD or other cannabinoids. But one firm favourite among cannabis growers are Kush strains. They combine a special combination of great taste, firm buds, heavy yields and an unbeatably enjoyable effects.

What are Kush strains? Kush strains are defined as those with genetic origins from the Hindu Kush mountains which are found along the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. This is one of those special geographic regions where cannabis still grows naturally in the wild. There are many different strains of Kush, but they often share some/all of the characteristics shown below:

•    A deep aroma. A top Kush strain often has a deep and rich scent. The aroma can be penetrating and pungent. A good OG Kush or Mazar will often have an aroma which will leak out unless it is kept in tight jars or double bagged in plastic sleeves. The scent can be quite complexed with notes of hash, pepper, earthy/floral, sweet pine, incense, herbal and fuel.

•    Powerfully sedating effects. A good quality Kush strain will often have a heavy and deeply relaxing effect on both mind and body. The term ‘couch lock’ is often used when describing a good Kush strain. As well as delivering powerfully relaxing effects (which are popular with medical cannabis growers), Kush strains also provide a euphoric initial high with strong psychoactive effects and meditative qualities. All in all a good Kush strain is synonymous with high quality and highly enjoyable relaxation.

•    Rich taste. The flavour is as smooth as the vape/smoke experience on a quality Kush strain. The earthy taste is often accompanied by notes of flowers, citrus/diesel and often hints of sweet grape.

•    Appearance. A Kush strain often has a striking appearance. The blooms/buds can be dark green. Flashes of blue or purple may be seen in the leaves, especially if cooler bloom conditions were used. The plants are often short and bushy with chunky and dense buds. Pistils may have a rusty orange or bronze appearance. Kush plants are often notably resinous, this ensures they are rated amongst the most potent strains you can grow. The buds feel firm but also very sticky.

One of the most famous Kush strains is OG Kush. There are several different versions available, but they tend to be indica dominant. The flash of sativa genetics in some OG Kush strains may amplify the uplifting euphoric aspects to the initial high.

Many growers want to know what strains compare to OG Kush. It’s a tough question to answer. For Kush connoisseurs, few strains really compare to a top-quality Kush strain. The deeply relaxing effects can make a Kush strain the perfect choice for simply stopping at home and enjoying a cozy night in, indulging your passion for fine food and entertainment. Afterwards, especially with a last vape before bed, you will usually enjoy a particularly restful night's sleep. The powerful physical effects make the best Kush strains a particularly popular choice with medical marijuana growers.

The popularity of OG Kush has given her an iconic reputation among those that grow Kush strains. But it’s important to say that there are many other top Kush strains with superb genetics. OG Kush may be the most well-known Kush strain, but there are now some top-quality Kush strains which are every bit as good as OG Kush.
