Cataract Kush
Cataract Kush
Overview
Cataract Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by DNA Genetics as a cross between LA Confidential and OG Kush. The strain is approximately 99% indica and 1% sativa, making it one of the most indica-dominant hybrids available. This powerful strain was developed over many years and represents a culmination of two legendary West Coast genetics.
Cataract Kush is renowned for its distinctive appearance and exceptional potency. The buds display an unusual grayish-black to dark gray color when properly cured, covered in a thick blanket of white crystal trichomes. The flavor profile is dominated by LA Confidential characteristics with OG Kush notes coming through on the exhale. Users describe taste notes of diesel, skunk, and pine, while the aroma combines sweet and earthy notes with hints of pine and citrus. The strain has earned a reputation as a "creeper" high that continues building long after consumption, leading to warnings that it is not recommended for lightweight or novice smokers.

Growing Information
Cataract Kush flowers in 8-9 weeks and can yield 350-500 grams per square meter indoors. The strain is noted for producing above-average yields and is suitable for both novice and experienced growers. Plants are described as easy to grow despite their potent effects. The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 60 days. Plants typically reach a compact height of up to 4 feet both indoors and outdoors, making them suitable for smaller growing spaces. To enhance the sedating indica properties, growers should keep plants in flowering mode until some trichomes start turning amber.
