Sin City Kush
Sin City Kush
Also known as: SCK
Overview
Sin City Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that combines approximately 80% indica and 20% sativa genetics. Created by Alphakronik Genes Seeds, this strain emerged from a cross between Las Vegas Purple Kush (LVPK) and Snowdawg BX, specifically designed to enhance the modest yields of the LVPK parent while maintaining its signature lilac sweetness. The breeding project began with a Las Vegas Purple Kush cutting that Alphakronik Genes received in 2006, which they enhanced with Snowdawg BX genetics to create a more robust and higher-yielding cultivar.
The strain presents an aesthetically striking appearance with deep purple and green hues throughout its dense, resinous buds. These flowers are generously coated with glistening white trichomes and exhibit the characteristic stout structure and large fan leaves typical of indica-dominant varieties. At harvest, the buds often display pronounced dark purple coloration, making them visually distinctive. Sin City Kush is renowned for its complex aromatic profile that combines floral sweetness reminiscent of lilacs with earthy grape undertones, nutty elements, and subtle pine notes. The flavor profile mirrors this complexity, delivering sweet berry and grape flavors on the inhale with woody, herbal, and spicy undertones that create a harmonious and multifaceted smoking experience.

Growing Information
Sin City Kush requires moderate to intermediate growing skills and has a relatively long flowering period for an indica-dominant strain. Indoor cultivation takes 8-11 weeks to complete flowering, with most sources indicating 65-75 days (9-11 weeks). The strain produces moderate to good yields of 10-12 ounces per square meter indoors and up to 12 ounces per plant outdoors. Plants typically exhibit strong branching with a stout structure and stretch to 1.0-1.25x their vegetative height during flowering. Outdoor harvests occur in late October in the northern hemisphere. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Plants prefer consistent temperatures between 68-77°F and benefit from proper air circulation. Sin City Kush is somewhat resistant to mold and mildew but requires attention to humidity levels. Both indoor and outdoor cultivation are suitable, though commercial growers often prefer indoor environments for better environmental control.
