Kush Mountains
Kush Mountains
Also known as: Kush Mountain, Kush Mtn., Mountain Kush
Overview
Kush Mountains is an award-winning indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% sativa/40% indica) bred by Cannabiotix through crossing White Walker Kush (also known as White Walker OG) with their proprietary Blue Flame OG #4. This strain gained significant recognition in 2018 when it was named one of High Times' top ten strains and won the High Times World Cup 2018 Best Hybrid Flower award. The strain exhibits the classic characteristics of its Kush heritage, featuring diamond-shaped OG Kush nuggets with large glassy trichomes and distinctive light purple overtones. Despite being classified as a hybrid, Kush Mountains leans heavily toward indica effects, providing a sedative and deeply relaxing experience. The buds are known for their substantial weight despite their smaller size, and the strain produces a complex aroma profile that combines gassy, diesel-like notes with sweet candy undertones and hints of citrus, vanilla, and pine. The strain's appearance mirrors its mountainous namesake, with frosty trichome-covered peaks and purple shadows that create an enticing visual appeal.

Growing Information
Kush Mountains is moderately challenging to cultivate, requiring proper environmental control and nutrient management. The strain has a longer flowering time than typical hybrids at 9-10 weeks (62-64 days indoors), reaching maturity outdoors in early October. Plants tend to 'golf ball' throughout the structure but will develop substantial buds with cool environments and proper feeding schedules. The strain is resilient and hardy, resisting many insect infestations and environmental problems, making it suitable for novice growers despite its moderate difficulty. It grows to medium height and produces decent yields when nutrients and environment are properly managed. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with indoor cultivation offering better environmental control for optimal results.
