Dark Gamma Kush
Dark Gamma Kush
Overview
Dark Gamma Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Dark Horse Genetics. This strain is a cross between Bruce Banner #3 and a backcrossed Face Off OG (Face Off OG #4 x Face Off OG BX1), creating a powerful combination of renowned genetics. The strain represents a sophisticated breeding project that combines the legendary potency of Bruce Banner with the deep indica effects of Face Off OG lineage.
Dark Gamma Kush has a flowering time of approximately 70 days and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. The strain is specifically bred for potency and produces a deep narcotic stone that leaves users "sunk in the couch", making it ideal for evening use. Despite lower yields, the strain is noted for having higher medicinal quality with an amazing trichomes-to-leaf ratio, making it an excellent choice for extracts. The strain was never available as feminized seeds, maintaining its exclusivity within the cannabis community.
Dark Gamma Kush inherits its complex lineage from two powerhouse strains. Bruce Banner #3, one of its parent strains, is a cross of OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel known for extremely high THC content reaching up to 30% and sativa-dominant effects with a 60:40 sativa/indica ratio. Face Off OG, the other parent lineage, is an indica-dominant strain with approximately 20% THC content renowned for its deeply relaxing and sedative effects used medicinally to address chronic pain, migraines, and anxiety.

Growing Information
Dark Gamma Kush is considered a moderate to difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for experienced growers. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 70 days (10 weeks) and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. While it produces lower yields compared to some strains, it compensates with exceptional medicinal quality and an outstanding trichomes-to-leaf ratio, making it particularly valuable for extraction purposes. The strain was never available as feminized seeds, typically requiring clone propagation or regular seeds. Growers should expect dense, resinous buds with high trichome production. Indoor cultivation is recommended for optimal control of environmental conditions.
