Master Kush
Master Kush gives you a hassle-free grow with heavy harvests and ultra-resinous buds. Enjoy its relaxing, pure indica effect and its delicious earthy, piney flavor. Perfect for unwinding at the end of the day, it's a great pick for growers of every level.
Master Kush is a true genetic gem from the famous Hindu Kush region. This mostly indica strain (90% indica, 10% sativa) comes from a masterful cross between an Afghan landrace from the Hindu Kush and the legendary Skunk. Refined in the Netherlands, this hybrid became a hit in Amsterdam's famous coffee shops. With its deep roots in Hindu Kush genetics, Master Kush has earned its place as a favorite among growers and smokers alike.
The Master Kush plant has a compact, sturdy, Christmas-tree shape. Its buds are dense, rock-hard and extremely tight, with colors ranging from dark green to orange and red pistils for a striking visual contrast. Its shiny white trichomes give the plant an almost snowy look, adding to its appeal and its reputation as one of the most resinous strains around.
Flavor and effects
The flavor of Master Kush is a delicious mix of earthy and pine notes, with a subtle hint of citrus on the exhale. Its aroma is just as inviting, filling the room with a sweet, earthy scent that brings to mind a deep forest. That depth of flavor and aroma makes it a complete sensory experience.
With Master Kush you can expect a feeling of happiness and deep relaxation. With THC levels of 15% to 20%, it delivers a strong initial rush of euphoria that soon settles into a serene calm. The effects are as intense as they are comforting, ideal if you want to unwind and enjoy a quiet night. Its low CBD content (less than 1%) fits its relaxing character without taking anything away from its powerful indica effect.
Master Kush terpenes
Master Kush stands out for its impressive terpene profile, which includes alpha-cedrene, alpha-pinene, beta-caryophyllene, borneol and myrcene, among others. These compounds enrich its flavor and aroma and also shape the feel of its high.
Alpha-pinene brings a fresh pine aroma and a crisp, clean edge to the flavor of Master Kush. Beta-caryophyllene adds spicy, earthy notes that round out the flavor. Myrcene, the most abundant terpene in this strain, is associated with deep body relaxation.
Thanks to this rich mix of terpenes, Master Kush is a treat for the senses and a deeply relaxing evening strain. Whether you want to lift your mood, sink into the couch or just enjoy a quiet night, it's a reliable, potent choice.
Yield and flowering time
Master Kush stands out for its potency and flavor, and also for its generous yield. Indoors or outdoors, it delivers impressive numbers that will satisfy beginners and experts alike.
Indoors, Master Kush can produce 1.5 to 1.8 oz per square foot, especially under a 300-350 W LED. Its flowering period is relatively short, with harvest in just 50-55 days after you flip to 12/12. That speed makes it a popular choice if you want fast, heavy harvests.
Outdoors, Master Kush can produce up to 28 oz (about 1.75 lb) per plant on the biggest specimens. Harvest comes around late September, with some phenotypes running into early October. Its sturdy structure and tolerance of a range of weather make it a good fit for many parts of the country, even places with shorter summers like the northern states.
Master Kush delivers loads of dense, resinous buds, and it does so in a relatively short time. Its resilience and ease of growing make it ideal for any kind of grower, with a rewarding ride from germination to harvest.
How to grow Master Kush
Growing Master Kush is a rewarding experience for any grower, whatever your level. This strain is known for its sturdiness and ease of growing, making it ideal for beginners and experienced growers alike.
In terms of growing difficulty, Master Kush is fairly easy to handle. Its hardy, compact nature suits different growing methods, including media such as perlite, peat or coco coir, which are excellent at holding moisture.
For best results, we recommend growing Master Kush in a warm, sunny climate, similar to its native Hindu Kush. Daytime temperatures should stay between 68 °F and 81 °F, with nights about 7-9 °F cooler. Keeping relative humidity (RH) at the right levels is essential: 55-60% during the vegetative stage and around 40% in flower, dropping to 30% as harvest approaches.
Master Kush's resistance to pests and diseases is remarkable. This strain is known for holding up well against the most common pests and diseases, which keeps problems to a minimum during the grow. Even so, we always recommend watching for any sign of pests and taking preventive steps to keep your plants healthy and productive.
