Super Kush
Super Kush
Also known as: Medical Super Kush
Overview
Super Kush is a very clear-headed indica that is the daughter of Northern Lights #5 and Hindu Kush. This strain represents a carefully crafted hybrid that combines the legendary genetics of two of cannabis's most influential parent strains. An all-around easy strain for beginning cannabis users, Super Kush is both mild in effects and easy to grow. The strain was developed through selective breeding that enhanced the strain's ability to alleviate pain, reduce anxiety, and promote relaxation and sleep. Super Kush leans toward the indica side of its genes, but the exact ratio of sativa to indica is unclear, with THC levels hovering between 15% and 20%, making this a fairly potent medical choice.
The strain's appearance features dense and aqua-green buds with orange hairs, showcasing the classic indica structure inherited from its Hindu Kush parent. Super Kush has an earthy, floral smell with hints of pine, as well as a similar flavor. The breeding focused on creating a rich and appealing sensory profile, combining the earthy notes of Hindu Kush with additional layers of complexity from the unknown parent strain. Found mostly in British Columbia, where it was born, this strain also sells in Arizona, Nevada, and Southern California.
