Cocoa Kush
Cocoa Kush
Also known as: Coco Kush
Overview
Cocoa Kush is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% sativa/50% indica) created by legendary breeder DJ Short as a cross between a female Blueberry Sativa and an original DJ Short Blueberry male. This unique strain emerged from DJ Short's renowned Blueberry genetics lineage, which traces back to his work in the late 1970s crossing Thai and Afghan landrace strains. Despite its strictly Blueberry parentage, Cocoa Kush offers a distinctive aroma reminiscent of hot chocolate, with rich cocoa and nutty spice notes that set it apart from its berry-flavored ancestors. The strain produces elongated, pepper-shaped buds that are dark olive green with purple undertones, sparse translucent amber hairs, and a coating of white trichomes and sticky resin. Cocoa Kush has gained recognition for its complex flavor profile featuring full-bodied chocolate taste with hints of licorice and a spicy, nutty aftertaste, making it a favorite among connoisseurs seeking dessert-like cannabis experiences.

Growing Information
Cocoa Kush is considered a hassle-free pleasure to grow with typical hybrid vigor. Indoor flowering time is 55-60 days (8-9 weeks), with outdoor harvest ready in mid-October. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Plants develop a structural kush-like growth pattern with elongated buds featuring swollen violet calyx flowers. High-THC buds are produced with moderate difficulty level, making it suitable for intermediate growers. Expected yields are moderate to good under optimum conditions.
