Strawberry Kush

Strawberry Kush is a hybrid created by crossing an East Coast classic, Strawberry Cough, with the iconic OG Kush. Originating in the USA, this strain was once only available in clone cuttings. 

Like its parent strain, OG Kush, Strawberry Kush leans more towards Indica in style but sometimes creates more cerebral Sativa-like qualities. Strawberry Kush’s other parent, Strawberry Cough, is noted for its rich strawberry aromas.

The marriage of this aromatic and fruity strain with OG Kush has created a truly modern classic. With genetics relating to the legendary OG Kush, it’s a soothing strain beloved for its relaxing properties. It’s a reasonably well-known strain that’s highly sought after worldwide.

feminised Strawberry Kush cannabis seeds grow into sturdy and bushy plants with large colas that produce dense THC-laden buds. So-named for its strawberry aroma and flavour, it also grows pink and red pistils as the flowers mature.

This Berry Kush possesses all the properties we love about the Kush strain, from an uplifting high to stable growing genetics.

Growing Information

Strawberry Kush is a versatile strain that can be grown indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouses. Moreover, she’s got a resilient, growing profile that’s well-suited for novices and experienced growers alike.

Strawberry Kush's feminised seeds are perfect for indoor plants, as she does not enjoy every climate. Short and easy to manage, she thrives in high-quality soil and hydroponic setups.

Thanks to her compact size, Strawberry Kush is also easy to manage and maintain and responds very well to training methods like ScrOG and SOG. The colas produced by this strain are legendary, so be careful when topping so as not to stunt her exceptional growth.

Strawberry Kush plants can be grown outdoors, but she is restricted by climate. Ideally, you’ll want to be growing in warm, Mediterranean-like conditions with low humidity and plenty of sunlight. Strawberry Kush tends to grow more branchy and tall when cultivated outdoors.

Regular pruning and training methods are recommended to keep everything in check. If you don’t have a climate that’s best suited for growing Strawberry Kush seeds, the plants do adapt very well to greenhouses.

Tip: Many indoor growers have adopted SOG methods to utilize the strain’s compact growth and large top colas.

Strawberry Kush has a relatively short flowering time, between 63 and 70 days, depending on light and temperature. If you’re growing outdoors, you can expect to harvest Strawberry Kush starting in September.

Remember to cool things down during the flowering stage by a few degrees to aid the production of even, resinous buds.

Characteristics

Strawberry Kush is a medium-growing strain that can be trained in compact spaces, too. Indoors, you can expect heights of between 80 and 130 cm. These numbers expand considerably when grown outdoors, where Strawberry Kush plants can reach up to 150 cm.

Strawberry Kush has the potential to produce medium yields of 400 to 500 grams per m² indoors and up to 600 grams per plant outdoors. These higher-end yields are best achieved with training methods like SOG and ScrOG which exploit the plant’s genetics for larger harvests.

Strawberry Kush, while being a hybrid strain, has significant Indica genetics that give it an immensely relaxing and soothing high. These full-body and mind effects can kick in rather quickly and are long-lasting.

Perfect as an end-of-day smoke, you can be left glued to the couch if you're not careful. The significant THC content is best reserved for those with a good level of tolerance.

Strawberry Kush is ideal for medical users treating the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia. As a mood enhancer, it’s known for its uplifting and euphoric effects, which can help mitigate day-to-day stresses.

What’s more, Strawberry Kush’s calming qualities can also be used to treat chronic pain and muscle spasms in patients. Strawberry Kush’s flavour profile is unmissable. She oozes potent Kush-like aromas of dank earth and musk.

The taste is where the strawberry comes into play, like a skunky and sour sun-dried sweet strawberry candy. These flavours are mixed with earthy notes and a herbal hint.
