Chronic Kush
Also known as: Chronic OG, Chronic OG Kush
Chronic Kush Strain Overview
Chronic Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a modern reinterpretation of the classic Chronic strain, crossed with OG Kush genetics. This strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to combine the high-yielding characteristics of Chronic with the potent, flavorful profile of OG Kush. The result is a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets for its reliable effects and manageable cultivation characteristics.
Visually, Chronic Kush typically displays dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans toward its indica heritage. The flowers are often medium to large in size, featuring a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler growing conditions. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The strain's aroma combines earthy, piney notes from its OG Kush lineage with subtle sweet undertones inherited from the Chronic parent.
Chronic Kush is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain has gained recognition for its consistency and reliability, making it a favorite among both novice and experienced consumers. While not as historically significant as its parent strains, Chronic Kush represents a successful hybridization that preserves desirable traits from both genetic lines while creating a distinct experience.

Chronic Kush Strain Growing Information
Chronic Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and slightly taller outdoors. Chronic Kush responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds. The plants prefer a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels during flowering.
