The short and bushy plants require lateral room to grow without taking up too much headspace. When harvested you will be left with small, heavy, super dense nuggs that are packed with flavor and a high THC content.

Dominant Terpenes in Cali Kush: West Coast Flavor

The Cali Kush terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells, tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while caryophyllene, and limonene are the secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – Known for its relaxing and sedative effects. Helps with stress and anxiety.
• Limonene: Aroma and Flavor – Works in the entourage effect to have therapeutic results and can be full-bodied.
• Caryophyllene: Cannabinoid – Often associated with a spicy aroma. The only cannabis terpene known to act as a cannabinoid.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Cali Kush:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Cali Kush seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That uplifted, happy and relaxed feeling you get when using the CK strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something a little different.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at a hearty 24%, the THC in the Indica-dominant hybrid is responsible for how relaxed, euphoric and happy you feel after using.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Cali Kush are less than 1% the cannabinoid is still present. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, pain and even stress. The CBD in the CK strain, even in its low amounts definitely has a positive effect on the user.
