Clockwork Kush
Also known as: Clockwork OG, Clockwork Kush OG
Clockwork Kush Strain Overview
Clockwork Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene in the early 2010s. The strain was developed by crossing two classic indica varieties: OG Kush and an undisclosed Afghani landrace strain. Breeders sought to create a strain that maintained the potent effects and distinctive flavor profile of OG Kush while introducing greater genetic stability and consistency in growth patterns. The name 'Clockwork' references the strain's predictable flowering time and reliable effects, which users describe as consistently potent and well-balanced.
Visually, Clockwork Kush plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a classic indica structure. The flowers are often medium to dark green with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. Bright orange pistils contrast against the dark foliage, while a thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's aroma combines earthy, pine, and diesel notes with subtle citrus undertones, characteristic of its OG Kush heritage.
Clockwork Kush has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and manageable cultivation requirements. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, it maintains a dedicated following in certain regional markets, particularly in California and the Pacific Northwest. The strain's genetic stability makes it a reliable choice for both commercial growers and home cultivators seeking consistent results.

Clockwork Kush Strain Growing Information
Clockwork 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 in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers indoor cultivation where environmental factors can be controlled, though it can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean climates. Plants tend to remain relatively short and bushy, reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to fungal issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
