There are numerous ways in which to categorize cannabis strains. For example, there are the landrace classifications of indica, sativa, ruderalis, etc. and marijuana families like Haze, Purple, Diesel, Cookies, Afghan, Cheese, and Kush–just to name a few. These classifications group various types of cannabis strains together under the large umbrella of fragrances, flavors, effects, geographic regions, and so on. Today, we’ll be looking at the Kush cannabis family, its main traits, and some of its most popular members.
What are Kush Cannabis Seeds?
Kush is a popular cannabis variety that traces its origins to the Hindu Kush Mountains, which span the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is one of the only places in the world where marijuana plants are native.
Generally speaking, if you see “Kush” in the name of a strain, there’s a high chance that it’s indica dominant at the very least. Kush strains were first transported to the States in the 1970s, and have only increased in popularity with their proliferation.
Characteristics of Kush Strains
While every individual Kush hybrid has its own unique set of characteristics, the family as a whole has some common traits, which are listed below.
- Physical Appearance: In keeping with their indica genetics, Kush cannabis plants are short and stocky and tend to feature dark green colas and leaves that display purple streaks or accents. Their buds are known for being very dense in structure, and the pistils that adorn these tightly-packed, chunky nuggets are orange to coppery in color.
- Effects: Overall, Kush strains tend to provide users with couch-lockingly relaxing effects that often result in feelings of sedation. Some also come with wonderfully euphoric cerebral effects, as well. All in all, though, Kush strains are usually best used in the evening, as they will probably leave you feeling quite sleepy.
- Fragrance: Again, every Kush hybrid has its own unique scent, but some of the hallmark aromas of a Kush include any combination of the following notes: floral, pine, spice, pungent, earthy, diesel-like, herbs, pepper, citrus, and sweet fruit.
- Flavor: Some of the dominant flavors you’re likely to taste when combusting a Kush strain could include one or more of the following: citrus, diesel, grape/berry, earth, floral, and herbs.
- Flavor: Smoke or vapor should be smooth and herbaceous, tasting of flowers, grape, diesel, citrus, and earth.
Benefits and Uses of Kush Cannabis Seeds
As touched upon above, some of the typical effects you can expect to experience in varying degrees of prominence and potency from a Kush strain are on the physically relaxing side. They tend to be known for bringing on feelings of physical calm, drowsiness, bliss, and a state of meditative introspection.
Very broadly speaking, a Kush hybrid is most likely going to be felt more in the body than the mind and will probably have you glued to the couch feeling worry-free and uninspired to do much more than Netflix and chill.
Many medical users tend to choose a Kush when they’re wanting some physical ease, a sense of fully unwinding, and a good night’s sleep.
Popular Kush Strains
We at Growers Choice Seeds sell roughly over 50 different varieties of Kush strains, all of which are fully feminized and many of which are autoflowering. In this section, we’ll go over just a few of our most popular Kush cannabis seed strains to give you a sampling of our incredibly rich and diverse selection.
Hindu Kush
We sell the classic Hindu Kush, but in autoflowering form, thereby making things much simpler for growers, as autoflowers will automatically flip to their flowering stage regardless of their light schedules. Due to our Hindu Kush being an autoflowering cannabis strain, instead of being 100% indica, its genetic profile is comprised of 90% indica and 10% ruderalis with a THC content of 17% that carries with it some powerfully sedating effects. This indica is an excellent option for first-time growers to cultivate indoors or out in an arid and warm climate–kind of like what one might expect in the warmer months in the Hindu Kush mountain range.
OG Kush
OG Kush feminized photoperiod cannabis seeds are a timeless classic. Pine-like, potent, and euphoric, this strain has earned a well-deserved fanbase with its burst of energy, mood boost, and relaxing body stone. While most Kush strains are indica-dominant, OG Kush leans sativa with a sativa-to-indica ratio of 55:45, and a potent THC content of 23%. Suitable for those with at least a medium amount of previous cultivation experience, OG Kush can be grown indoors or out in a dry and warm setting.
Purple Kush
Purple Kush feminized seeds produce a highly sought-after marijuana strain that delivers happy and euphoric effects, as well as a welcome sense of relaxation. Containing a THC level of 22%, this 100% pure indica Purple was named a “Top 10 Kush Strain” by the High Times magazine in 2016. As a strain that requires the hand of an intermediate-level grower, this indica, which is naturally resistant to pests, is not as resistant to mold and mildew. As such, you will want to grow it in a dry setting, which is why many growers tend to prefer to grow this one indoors where they can ensure that their Purple Kush marijuana plants don’t end up being exposed to too much precipitation or humidity.
Albino Kush
What makes evenly-balanced Albino Kush feminized seeds particularly unique is that their plants offer a captivating twist with their cool lack of chlorophyll and pigmentation. Said to provide users with a chill sense of upliftment and relaxation, Albino Kush has 20% THC and is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor growing by an intermediate-level grower.
Strawberry Kush
For starters, our Strawberry Kush autoflowering seeds are considered to be super easy for novice growers to cultivate both inside and outside so long as they are grown in a warm and sunny Mediterranean-like climate. In addition, this hybrid responds well to the Screen of Green (ScrOG) method. As a 70/20/10 indica-sativa-ruderalis hybrid with THC levels reaching as high as 22%, Strawberry Kush is said to offer users feelings of joy and euphoria with the potential to sedate.
Growing Kush Cannabis Seeds
When it comes to the ideal growing conditions, soil, light, and water requirements for Kush strains, these factors depend on which strain you are growing. As such, it’s always worth reading over the product description and strain details that we provide with every one of our marijuana seed strains to find all of these things out.
Because we only sell feminized cannabis seeds in photoperiod and autoflowering form, you are all but guaranteed to end up with a crop of all-female plants when you purchase your Kush seeds from us. If you’re buying a feminized photoperiod strain, remember that you will need to change the light cycles so that your plants are able to transition from their vegetative growth stage to their flowering phase.

FAQs About Kush Cannabis Seeds
What are the effects and benefits of using Kush cannabis strains?
A: Generally speaking, Kush strains tend to be either 100% indica or indica-dominant, although there are definitely some exceptions. Broadly speaking, Kush varieties are known for being physically relaxing, deeply soothing, and quite often couch-locking and sedating, allowing users to get the relaxation and sleep they need after a long and stressful day.
How do I choose the best Kush strain for my needs?
When choosing the right Kush strain for your cultivation and using needs, you’ll want to think about what effects you’re looking for in a Kush, what your tolerance to THC is, what your cultivation skill level is, and where you will be growing your Kush marijuana plants. Take all of these things into consideration as you read through our product description and strain details of any/every cannabis seed strain we sell and see if it checks all the boxes for you.
What are some common issues that Kush strains tend to have?
Again, it really depends on which Kush variety you are growing. For example, some can be quite susceptible to mold and mildew, which means you will need to ensure proper ventilation and humidity controls to mitigate these issues, while others are pretty resistant to mold and mildew. The same can be said for pests. For Kush strains that are vulnerable to pest infestations, you will want to keep a close eye on your plants and apply (organic) pest control methods when needed.
What kinds of nutrients do Kush strains require?
All cannabis plants require a healthy diet of nutrients as discussed here. When it comes to Kush cannabis seed strains, know that they are sensitive to imbalances in their nutrient levels–especially nitrogen and magnesium.
