BIG KUSH

1st prize: Indoor category at 2017 Copa CABA (organised by Argentinean Haze magazine)

50% Indica, 50% Sativa. Medium-large plants, growing up to 3m outdoors. Narrow branches and plentiful intermodal spacing allows for airiness and light even at the lower reaches, creating gigantic yields. Sparse leaves also make her a delight to trim.

Big Kush produces flowers that are dense, weighty, resinous and pointy. Very importantly, they’re quick to harvest. Speedy and bountiful, what’s not to love?

Truly delectable in both taste and smell. The limonene terpenes shine through with an intensely bright lemon flavour and aroma.

With THC upwards of 20%, she’s mind-blowingly potent, yet surprisingly balanced. Expect a strong psychoactive cerebral energy, followed by a more physically relaxing experience as time passes.

Big Kush is very easy-growing and radiates vitality. Some phenotypes can stretch indoors, so keep an eye out and potentially limit vegetation. Outdoors, Big Kush marijuana plants prefer warmer, dryer, Mediterranean climates or the shelter of a greenhouse. Her lack of moisture tolerance is levelled out by a short growing period – just 55-60-days indoors. Plants are extremely smelly, in the best possible way, but you might want to invest in good-quality air filters and be wary of nosy neighbours.
