Cold War Kush
Cold War Kush
Overview
Cold War Kush is a modern hybrid strain that blends historical significance with contemporary cannabis breeding techniques. Named after the tense geopolitical era of the Cold War, this strain embodies a complex profile of effects and flavors that mirror the intricate political and social landscape of that time period, while being designed to thrive in a variety of growing conditions with the adaptability and endurance that characterized the global powers during the Cold War era. The strain is reportedly bred from crossing two influential landrace genetics - Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani through its Purple Kush parent lineage, creating offspring with stunning purple buds blanketed in thick layers of frosty trichomes. By blending characteristics from both traditional Indica and Sativa strains, it creates a hybrid that delivers a harmonious combination of mental and physical effects. Like most Indica-dominant hybrids, Cold War Kush grows as a bushy and small to mid-sized plant, normally staying under 2 feet tall, making it suitable for cultivation even when vertical space is limited.

Growing Information
Cold War Kush offers a relatively forgiving growing experience suitable for both novice and experienced growers, with robust genetics inherited from Hindu Kush that provide high resistance to mold and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions while being more forgiving to minor mistakes compared to other cultivars. The strain has a flowering time of 7 to 9 weeks, after which growers can harvest massive yields of dense, trichome-laden buds with alluringly purple nugs snow-capped in frosty trichomes. While it thrives in both indoor and outdoor setups, it tends to reach its full potential when grown outside with ample sunlight and room for root spread, working well in any medium including soil-based or soilless systems, with organic soil enriched with coco coir recommended for enhanced terpene profiles, while hydroponic systems can cause explosive growth and increased production capacity. Cold-shocking the plant just before harvest will activate anthocyanins, the pigments responsible for the cultivar's trademark purple hue.
