For the grower that loves classic Kush and hates to let winning genetics slip through their fingers. We recommend the Master Kush. This old school hybrid of Hindu Kush and Skunk #1 is a pleasure to crop and a really nice strain to clone with a high success rate.

Selecting a mother plant from Master Kush couldn’t be easier as she is very stable and expresses little variation even when grown from seed. Most Master Kush will stay short and stocky and race to harvest in 8-9 weeks.

Watch out for mold in high humidity environments. Colas will swell significantly in the final weeks of flowering. Lesser known as a stealth Kush due to her more subtle growing odour. A low-profile Kush in more ways than one. Delivering a mellow physical effect rather than a heavy couchlock.

Lemon Kush is a sour delight to smoke with a surprisingly uplifting sativa kick. Her lineage is similar to the O.G. Kush. Differentiated by a distinctly different lemon sativa phenotype. Believed to be a blend of choice cuts of Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and Pakistani Kush hybridised in the US West Coast. Instead of an intense O.G. Kush couchlock, an inspirational creative high makes for a pleasant surprise.

Rather than a sweet citrus fruity flavour the Lemon Kush is more sour and a bitter lemon. In 8-10 weeks of bloom, this sativa leaning Kush can become stretchy without pruning and/or training. ScrOG for max canopy control and yield. Moreover, this Kush is thirsty for nutrients and performs exceptionally in hydroponics. Nuggs are tight and covered in sticky resin.
