Kush refers to a prized family of cannabis strains tracing lineage back to landrace plants native to the Hindu Kush mountain range of South Asia. Kush varieties are globally renowned and widely considered top-shelf tier cannabis genetics, serving as genetic backbone contributing to many of the most elite cannabis hybrids. The legendary OG Kush strain arose after an undocumented Florida cut was brought to Los Angeles in the mid 1990s. It exemplifies the classic Kush genetic profile expressing pungent, piney, earthy, and slightly spicy aroma attributes. Kush genetics reliably produce robust plants generously coated in resin with more complex terpene profiles conferring powerful, stimulating effects that last. Skilled breeders highly prize proven Kush genetics for imparting increased bud density, abundant sticky trichome coverage, and amplified THC potency when blended into new hybrid crosses. Consequently, countless contemporary hybrid strains incorporate Kush lineage into genetic stacks. The enduring popularity of Kush cannabis results directly from its unrivaled sensory qualities and memorable experiences.
