Cowboy Kush
Cowboy Kush
Overview
Cowboy Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Greenpoint Seeds through crossing Hell's Angel OG and Stardawg. This strain embodies the rugged spirit of the American West, combining the best of both indica and sativa genetics to create a well-balanced experience. Hell's Angel OG, which is believed to contain OG Kush and Blackberry genetics, was allegedly grown and hoarded by Hell's Angels bikers in Southern California before becoming well-circulated throughout California and Colorado cannabis scenes. The Stardawg parent, from the renowned Chemdog lineage (specifically Chem #4 x Tres Dawg), contributes its chemical tartness and resin production capabilities.
Cowboy Kush produces dense, robust buds that showcase vibrant greens with hints of deep purples and bright orange pistils. The strain is characterized by an abundance of trichomes that give it a frosted, crystalline appearance. The buds are compact and resinous, displaying the typical structure of indica-dominant hybrids while maintaining some sativa influences. This strain has gained recognition for its consistent performance across multiple harvests and balanced effects that satisfy both recreational users and medical patients seeking relief without overwhelming psychoactive effects.

Growing Information
Cowboy Kush is considered suitable for both novice and experienced growers, with moderate cultivation difficulty. The strain can be grown indoors and outdoors, though it performs better indoors where climate can be controlled. Indoor growing requires replicating Mediterranean-like conditions with flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks (55-65 days). Outdoor plants are ready for harvest from late September to early November. The strain produces generous yields, with reports of up to 1 pound per plant when properly cultivated. Plants develop medium height with dark green and purple buds featuring bright orange pistils. Indoor yields range from 1-1.5 oz/m² while outdoor plants can produce 14-21 oz per plant. The strain shows good resistance and stable genetics across different growing conditions.
