What are the top 10 best Kush strains? Well, thankfully this article will list the best kush strains sold as seeds by Premium Cultivars. On top of this, we will give some information surrounding the origins of these strains and how they can be used today.
There is a strong connection between the Kush family of cannabis and the Hindu-Kush Mountains, which run into the current boundaries of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Kush has been grown here for thousands of years, probably tens of thousands of years. During the 1970s, smugglers smuggled valuable landrace heavy Mountain Kush seeds out of the area. While traveling the “hippie trail,” both American and European strain seekers came to the Kush.
Ancient Kush bloodlines have been widely discussed, with too many fantastic stories to know who should be credited for their introduction to the West. However, you can be sure that it came at the right moment. When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, it set off a chain of events with terrible consequences.
Civilian seed-hunting missions for Kush have all but stopped. Fortunately, breeders in the US and Europe have nurtured, crossed, and improved vintage Kush genetics during the last half-century.
Notably, there are many varieties of cannabis, and all descend from a small number of ancestors. There are several different strains in the Kush family. Kush refers to a specific kind of Middle Eastern genetics, rather than OG Kush, which many cannabis consumers think when they encounter the name “Kush.”
Hundreds of cannabis strains are still popular today because of the landrace genetics passed down from generation to generation by breeders and farmers. Whether indica, sativa or hybrid – Kush strains kind of cover all bases to an extent. To get a vibe of the past, here are ten of the finest Kush strains.
Triangle Kush
Triangle Kush or OG Triangle, is an Indica-dominant cannabis strain that hails from Florida. Jacksonville, Miami, and Tampa are the three largest cannabis-producing cities in the state of Florida. Triangle Kush blossoms in 70 days, according to growers.
Strawberry Kush
Cannabis strain Strawberry Kush is a cross between Strawberry Cough and OG Kush. This strain has a calming impact on the body and mind. Strawberry Kush generally blossoms after around 8-9 weeks, according to growers.
Pineapple Kush
Pineapple Kush is a mix of Pineapple and Master Kush, a hybrid cannabis strain.
We’ve discussed the similarly fruity Banana Kush strain before.
Afghan Kush
One of the most important Kush strains in current times is perhaps Afghan Kush. It is thought that this strain was smuggled out of Afghanistan throughout the 20th Century. Numerous hybrids and top genetic traits can be traced back to Afghan Kush landrace genetics.
In the wild, plants may grow up to 90cm broad and 60cm tall, but they tend to be shorter and squat indoors. Training or trimming is unnecessary.
When cultivated outdoors in Mediterranean climates, monster bushes could possibly grow up to 2 meters tall. This veteran of the Kush family will find a home in the gardens of Indica enthusiasts and growers in search of dependable, powerful, and prolific plants.
Purple Kush
An amazing Kush strain like Purple Kush has beautiful purple blossoms often. It is a California-bred cultivar that is a cross between Purple Afghani and the Hindu Kush.
Platinum Kush
Cannabis strain Platinum Kush OG, is a hybrid between the OG Kush and Afghani strains. Because of a thick coating of crystal resin, this strain appears platinum-silver. Thanks to its purple color and brilliant orange hairs, growers love this beautiful strain.
Hindu Kush
Mountain Kush that has not been contaminated by contemporary crossbreeding is highly sought as breeding stock. It is the original mystical cannabis from the Hindu Kush Mountains, known as the Hindu Kush. These old landrace genetics have provided the basis for whole seed banks.
The Hindu Kush genus plants are small, hardy, and durable, requiring little care and just a few nutrients to grow. Even from seed, it grows like a cut. Designed for SOG grows both inside and on a concealed balcony outside. You can harvest these buds after only seven weeks of flowering. This plant’s earthy, hashy, and sandalwood scents are increased when grown in soil organically.
OG Kush
When you hear about it, you probably think of the OG in OG Kush as meaning ‘original gangster’, however, it is actually figured that it stands for ocean grown due to the origins of this amazing strain. OG Kush, one of the first strains to establish a household name among cannabis users, probably comes to mind.
The genetics of OG Kush remains a mystery; however, grower Matt “Bubba” Berger is believed to have worked with an unidentified “Kush” variety in Florida in the early 1990s. In the end, he transported it to California and handed it over to Josh D, who transformed it into the OG Kush that we all know and love today.
Kosher Kush
Indica strain Kosher Kush, often known as “Kosher OG,” is quite popular. Premium Cultivars is presently selling Kosher Kush in seed form, a cut-only strain that originated in Los Angeles. In the past, this strain has won the High Times Cannabis Cup’s Best Indica and Best Strain awards in 2010 and 2011, respectively. The high produced by Kosher Kush is mind-blowing. It’s not hard to see why this is one of the best kush strains.
Critical Kush
Critical Kush is a cross between Critical Mass and OG Kush that is mostly Indica-dominant. Critical Kush is a grower’s delight.
