Cali Kush
Cali Kush
Also known as: California Kush, Kali Kush, OG Cali Kush
Overview
Cali Kush is a cannabis strain that exists in multiple distinct genetic lineages, though the most well-known version was originally developed by Sumo Seeds (Netherlands) through crossing Mendocino Purps and LA Confidential. A separate version has been developed by Anesia Seeds (Spain) using Strawberry Kush and OG Kush genetics. Despite its name suggesting California origins, the strain was actually created outside of California, though it embodies the West Coast cannabis culture and aesthetic. The Sumo Seeds version is primarily indica-dominant, while some phenotypes may exhibit sativa-dominant characteristics. The strain typically produces dense, trichome-covered buds with colors ranging from light green to olive, often featuring blue and purple hues when exposed to cool temperatures during cultivation. Cali Kush has gained recognition for its potent effects, complex terpene profile, and reliable cultivation characteristics, making it popular among both recreational and medical cannabis users worldwide.

Growing Information
Cali Kush is considered suitable for both novice and experienced growers due to its hardy genetics and mold/pest resistance. The strain thrives in Mediterranean climates when grown outdoors, with flowering time typically ranging from 6-8 weeks indoors. Plants usually remain compact (under 3 feet indoors, up to 8+ feet outdoors), making them manageable for indoor cultivation. Expected yields are moderate to high: 400-700g/m² indoors and 500-550g per plant outdoors. The strain responds well to Sea of Green (SOG) growing methods and requires minimal special care, though growers should 'top off' plants by trimming light-blocking fan leaves to encourage lower branch flowering.
