What is the Burmese Kush strain?
Burmese Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Burmese Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid strain bred by TH Seeds, created by crossing a Burmese landrace strain from Southeast Asia with the legendary OG Kush. This hybrid emerged in the late 2000s as a project to combine the speed and density of Kush genetics with the bright, uplifting characteristics of Southeast Asian landraces. The strain gained recognition in 2007 when it was listed among the top ten strains in High Times Magazine. Burmese Kush features dense, compact buds that are dark green with purple accents, adorned with bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The strain exhibits the classic OG Kush structure but is tempered by Southeast Asian vigor, reaching approximately 100 centimeters in height. Known for its relatively quick flowering time of 7-9 weeks, Burmese Kush produces moderate yields but is prized for the quality of its buds. The strain is characterized by a complex aroma profile combining earthy, piney, and citrusy notes with spicy undertones, reflecting its dual heritage from the mystical regions of Burma and California's cannabis culture.
