Special Kush #1
Special Kush #1
Also known as: Special Kush
Overview
Special Kush #1 is an indica-dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa) developed by Royal Queen Seeds through crossing classic Afghan and Pakistani landrace strains. This strain represents a modern resurrection of old-school Kush genetics that were originally cultivated in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The strain was specifically created to bring back the pure, untainted qualities of traditional Kush varieties that made Afghan hashish legendary for its unmatched quality. Special Kush #1 features the characteristic dense, compact buds typical of indica genetics, with dark olive green nugs displaying deep purple undertones and leaves. The flowers are coated in a super sticky layer of resin, making them particularly appealing for both consumption and hash production. Despite being one of Royal Queen Seeds' most affordable offerings, the strain maintains consistent quality and potency, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious growers and consumers seeking reliable indica effects.

Growing Information
Special Kush #1 is considered suitable for both novice and experienced growers, requiring moderate growing difficulty. The strain has a relatively short flowering time of 7-8 weeks, making it ready for harvest by late September when grown outdoors. Indoor plants typically reach heights of up to 1 meter, while outdoor plants can grow exceptionally tall, reaching up to 3 meters or more. Indoor yields range from 65-150 grams per plant or approximately 475 grams per square meter under a 600W light. Outdoor cultivation can produce impressive yields of 500-550 grams per plant when grown in warm climates similar to Italy or North Africa. The strain prefers warm growing environments and needs adequate space as it tends to grow wild and fill available space. Indoor growers should manage the plant's bushy, crowded canopy through topping and defoliating to ensure proper light penetration.
