Contents:
Kush genetics have long satisfied indica-loving cannabis users. Their heavy and sedating effects provide a pleasant body high, erase stress, and pack a medicinal punch. Special Kush #1 is a fine addition to the Kush lineage, bearing all of the best traits of any Kush variety, along with its own unique assortment of characteristics.
SPECIAL KUSH #1: GENETIC ANALYSIS
Special Kush #1 possesses an indica-heavy genetic makeup. It features 80% indica and only 20% sativa genetics. Breeders brought this strain into the world by combining two legendary cannabis lineages: Kush and Afghani. Both of these varieties are well-known for their notoriously stoning effects and sticky colas.
Kush genetics descend from the Hindu Kush mountain range—a sequence of rocky structures spanning the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Most Kush specimens are packed full of terpenes that emanate earthy, peppery, and citrusy scents. It’s not uncommon for these flowers to display gorgeous shades of orange, bronze, and purple.
Kush genetics provided a good start in the creation of Special Kush #1, but the Royal Queen Seeds breeders wanted to tip the scales further to the indica side. And they knew exactly what they had to do.
They started to germinate Afghani seeds to find the best specimens at their disposal. Afghani plants are almost entirely indica, with a purity of 90–100%. These landraces also call the Hindu Kush mountains home.
It’s not entirely clear how they ended up in the Western world, but legend has it that strain hunters managed to swipe some wild seeds before the Soviet invasion commenced in 1979.
Alongside their purity, Afghani landraces boast a relaxing body buzz and irresistible tastes of hash and spice.
After several generations of crossing, breeders were delighted with the results. The progeny possessed almost complete indica dominance, extremely dense colas, and impressive resin production.
GROWING SPECIAL KUSH #1
Special Kush #1 provides rewarding yields both indoors and outdoors. Its Hindu Kush genetics allow it to tolerate a range of temperatures, from warm summers near the equator to colder growing seasons in northern latitudes.
Special Kush #1 performs well indoors, where it peaks at a height of 1m. Expect a yield of 425–475g/m² after a brief flowering time of 7–8 weeks.
Outdoor plants go against the grain of typical indica morphology and peak at a height of 270cm. Prepare to harvest anywhere between 500–550g/plant at the end of September.
Special Kush #1 produces tall and densely packed flowers. Each of its colas hangs heavy with trichomes and houses tendril-like pistils.
The strain tends to develop a bushy and crowded canopy. Growers can control this trait by topping and defoliating to allow more light to access internal bud sites.
