Cheshire Kush
What is the Cheshire Kush strain?
Cheshire Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and fruity flavor profile.
Cheshire Kush is part of the Wonderland Series by Alphakronik Genes, and crosses Las Vegas Purple Kush with Gobbstopper. This indica leading hybrid was bred as a tribute to the fictional character from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The strain represents a sophisticated combination of two powerful indica-dominant parents, creating a unique cultivar that emphasizes both potency and complex terpene expression. Cheshire Kush has a rich purple hue and stacks on trichomes that put out a thick, hashy, and grape terpene profile, making it perfect for extracts. This strain was specifically designed to deliver heavy sedating effects while maintaining the distinctive flavor characteristics inherited from its parent strains.
The Las Vegas Purple Kush parent brings genetics that are primarily a cross between Purple Afghani and Hindu Kush, while the Gobbstopper parent contributes Purple Urkle x Sin City Kush genetics with an 80/20 indica/sativa ratio. This genetic combination results in a strain with a super high THC level that bottoms out at about 22% on average, making it recommended for experienced users. The strain's buds have round dark olive green nugs with furry pinkish orange hairs, dark purple undertones, and a coating of lavender tinted crystal trichomes, creating a visually striking appearance that matches its potent effects.
