Violator Kush
Violator Kush
Also known as: Violator Kush™
Overview
Violator Kush is an indica-dominant cannabis strain developed by Barney's Farm, one of the Netherlands' most renowned seed companies. Created through careful selection and breeding in the Indian Himalayan region, this strain represents the crossing of two legendary landrace varieties: Malana Charas from the Malana Valley in India and Hindu Kush from the mountainous regions between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The strain emerged during the mid-to-late 2000s as breeders sought to refine traditional hashish genetics into stable, high-yielding varieties suitable for indoor cultivation.
Violator Kush is classified as an 80% indica, 20% sativa hybrid that exhibits classic Kush characteristics with enhanced resin production. The plants grow short and compact, typically reaching 80-90cm in height, with thick stalks, large dark green leaves, and bushy lateral branching. The strain produces dense, spade-shaped buds that are bright neon green with amber undertones and covered in a thick layer of orange pistils. What distinguishes Violator Kush is its extraordinary trichome density, creating flowers that appear almost white with resin coverage. The strain's name reflects its potent, overwhelming effects that can 'violate' users' expectations with its intensity.
The plant requires structural support during flowering due to the weight of its resin-heavy buds. Violator Kush has become particularly prized among hash makers and concentrate producers due to its exceptional resin yields and classic hashish-like qualities. Its distinctive musky, earthy aroma combines traditional charas scents with peppery, spicy undertones, creating a complex aromatic profile that speaks to its mountain heritage and hash-making lineage.

Growing Information
Violator Kush is considered moderately difficult to grow and is best suited for experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 55-63 days (8-9 weeks) and produces excellent yields of 500-650g/m² indoors. Outdoor harvests typically occur in late September in the Northern Hemisphere. Plants remain compact at 0.8-1m tall indoors, making them suitable for limited-height growing spaces. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic systems and is adaptable to Screen of Green (ScrOG) methods. Violator Kush requires structural support during flowering due to heavy bud development and is not tolerant of heavy nutrients. The plants prefer cooler growing conditions, reflecting their mountain genetics, and can be grown both indoors and outdoors in temperate to cool climates. Proper curing is essential to develop the strain's distinctive hashy flavor profile.
