Cryptic Kush
Cryptic Kush
Also known as: KryptiKush, Kryptik Kush, Kryptikid Kush, KID Kush
Overview
Cryptic Kush is an indica-dominant cannabis strain developed by Savage Seed Collective, bred by a member known as Kryptikid. This strain features a complex lineage involving Unknown Kush (likely Hindu Kush) crossed with Black Domina in multiple generations, specifically described as ((Unknown Kush x Black Domina) x Black Domina) x (Unknown Kush x Black Domina) S3. The breeding was intentionally designed to increase the indica effects of the mysterious unknown Kush parent strain while significantly shortening the flowering period. The strain is characterized by its heavy Afghan lineage inherited from Black Domina, which contributes to its robust structure and indica-dominant effects. Cryptic Kush produces very greasy, resinous buds with a distinctive aromatic profile that sets it apart from other Kush varieties. The strain requires trellising support due to heavy yields, though less support than most Kush strains thanks to its stable Afghan genetics.

Growing Information
Cryptic Kush is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with a flowering time of approximately 53 days (7.5 weeks). The strain is a heavy yielder that requires trellising support due to the weight of its dense buds, though it needs less support than most Kush varieties due to its strong Afghan lineage from Black Domina. Plants tend to be very greasy and resinous. Growing difficulty is moderate, making it accessible to intermediate growers. The strain thrives in controlled environments and can produce substantial yields when properly supported.
