Burmese Kush
Burmese Kush
Also known as: BuKu, Burma
Overview
Burmese Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid strain bred by TH Seeds, created by crossing a Burmese landrace strain from Southeast Asia with the legendary OG Kush. This hybrid emerged in the late 2000s as a project to combine the speed and density of Kush genetics with the bright, uplifting characteristics of Southeast Asian landraces. The strain gained recognition in 2007 when it was listed among the top ten strains in High Times Magazine. Burmese Kush features dense, compact buds that are dark green with purple accents, adorned with bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The strain exhibits the classic OG Kush structure but is tempered by Southeast Asian vigor, reaching approximately 100 centimeters in height. Known for its relatively quick flowering time of 7-9 weeks, Burmese Kush produces moderate yields but is prized for the quality of its buds. The strain is characterized by a complex aroma profile combining earthy, piney, and citrusy notes with spicy undertones, reflecting its dual heritage from the mystical regions of Burma and California's cannabis culture.

Growing Information
Burmese Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to grow, requiring more attention than typical strains and sensitivity throughout the growing process. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, with a preference for controlled indoor conditions where growth accelerates. The strain has a relatively short flowering time of 7-9 weeks (50-63 days) and reaches approximately 100cm in height. Expected yields range from 100-400 grams per square meter depending on growing conditions and experience level. The plant prefers slightly cooler temperatures, responds well to low-stress training techniques, and benefits from proper airflow control and humidity management. It requires full-spectrum lighting indoors and organic soil for optimal terpene development outdoors. The strain is suitable for both novice growers looking to challenge their skills and experienced cultivators who appreciate its reliable structure.
