Burning Bush
Burning Bush
Overview
Burning Bush is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by Reefermans Seeds with a unique origin story rooted in Middle Eastern cannabis culture. The strain originated in 2006 when breeder Sam the Skunkman informed Reefermans about an Egyptian landrace from the Sinai Peninsula. The breeding project involved a dangerous journey to Egypt, where seeds were collected from Bedouin guides near the Israeli border. The breeder was inspired by the biblical burning bush and the historical connection between hashish and ancient Egyptian culture, leading to the strain's distinctive name. After years of selective breeding, Burning Bush was created as an F1 hybrid combining the Egyptian landrace with Love Potion #1, specifically designed for outdoor cultivation and hash production in arid climates.
The strain exhibits classic sativa characteristics with tall, slender plant architecture and narrow leaves displaying deep green coloration with occasional purple hues during cooler periods. Burning Bush produces dense, resinous buds with a frosty crystalline coating that correlates with higher cannabinoid concentrations. The strain is known for its robust branching patterns and strong main colas, though it requires outdoor cultivation due to its stretchy growth habit indoors. The plant demonstrates excellent resistance to drought and wind conditions, making it ideal for commercial outdoor cultivation in challenging climates.

Growing Information
Burning Bush is specifically bred for outdoor cultivation and performs poorly indoors due to its stretchy growth characteristics. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 53 days (7-8 weeks) and requires significant support for branches as they can become weak when heavy with buds. Plants can grow up to 7 feet tall in single-pole formation and yield 1-1.5 ounces per foot when left untopped. The strain is ideal for commercial outdoor operations due to its drought and wind resistance, making it suitable for challenging climates. Indoor cultivation is not recommended as the plant requires extensive training and support. Best grown from seeds rather than clones, with excellent pest and disease resistance.
