What is the Cali Kush strain?
Cali Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
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.
