Nicole Kush

Nicole Kush is the perfect combination of two legendary varieties. On one side, Kosher Kush, known for its relaxing effects and heavy resin production. On the other, Nicole, which adds that special touch that makes it an unbeatable choice. Together they have produced a robust, easy-to-handle plant, perfect for growers of every level.

This hybrid, developed by the breeders at DNA Genetics, is one of the cannabis varieties most highly rated by growers, who especially praise how superb it is for making hash thanks to the amount of resin it produces.

Nicole Kush is truly impressive. It grows vigorously and reaches a medium size both indoors and outdoors. Its structure is sturdy, with medium internodes and large leaves that take on orange and purple hues towards the end of flowering. The buds are elongated, dense and compact, and they also tend to turn an intense purple, especially when temperatures are mild.

Nicole Kush terpenes

Terpenes play a key role in Nicole Kush's aromatic profile. The dominant aromas are lemon, mint and a touch of sweet grapefruit, which come from terpenes such as limonene and pinene, responsible for its delicious flavour and unmistakable character.

Limonene, responsible for the citrus aromas, brings a bright, cheerful character. Pinene, with its fresh mint and pine fragrance, adds a crisp, clear-headed note to the mix. Lastly, myrcene, although it doesn't stand out directly in the aroma, is associated with the deep relaxation and calm that define Nicole Kush.
