Quantum Kush
Quantum Kush
Also known as: QK, Quantum Purple
Overview
Quantum Kush is a highly potent sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that was historically known as one of the strongest strains in modern cannabis, consistently achieving THC levels that exceed 30%. Originally bred by TGA Genetics (also known as SubCool's The Dank) and later refined by Homegrown Natural Wonders, this strain is the result of crossing Sweet Irish Kush with Timewreck. This genetic lineage combines the calming effects of indica genetics from Sweet Irish Kush with the uplifting properties of the sativa-dominant Timewreck.
Quantum Kush produces compact, grape-shaped buds that are olive in color with slight hues of violet throughout. The seeds display a robust, elongated form with a deep green hue accented by vibrant orange strands, maturing into tall, vigorous plants that emit a rich, intricate aroma blending sweet, earthy tones with exotic hints of spice and tropical fruit. The strain emits a scent and delivers a taste that's sweet and earthy, but also skunky yet tropical, with a blend of earthy tones interspersed with delicate traces of sweet tropical fruit. The strain quickly gained popularity in medical cannabis dispensaries due to its high THC content coupled with its robust terpene composition.

Growing Information
Quantum Kush has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor growers can expect to harvest in early October. Indoor yields average 16-20 ounces per square meter (450-550 grams per square meter), while outdoor plants can yield 20 ounces or more per plant. Plants grow tall, reaching about 180cm in height. The strain thrives in controlled environments with temperatures between 68-80°F. Humidity should be maintained at 40-60% during vegetative stage and 30-50% during flowering. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with outdoor growing ideal in Mediterranean climates. Best grown by topping early to create approximately a 30-inch round bush. The strain is considered intermediate difficulty due to its specific environmental requirements.
