What is the 8 Ball Kush strain?
8 Ball Kush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and herbal flavor profile.
8 Ball Kush is a 100% pure indica strain bred by Barney's Farm, descended from an Afghani landrace strain. The strain was developed by selecting and breeding the best Kush genetics originating from the mountainous areas between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Barney's Farm selected 8 Ball Kush for its pure indica lineage and its ability to thrive in harsh environments, creating a resilient and easy-to-grow variety suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators.
The buds are dense, medium-sized, and spade-shaped with dark forest green coloration spattered with rich amber trichomes and pale gold undertones. Like many cannabis varieties from the Hindu Kush region, 8 Ball Kush produces large amounts of crystal resin that blanket the buds, making them heavy with fine crystal white trichomes and sticky with sweet syrupy resin. The strain is particularly well-suited for making hash due to its resinous essence and musky character. After years of selective breeding, this strain has become very easy to grow even in unfavorable conditions, making it a good choice for both SOG and ScrOG gardens.
