What is the Dragon Kush strain?
Dragon Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Dragon Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two legendary parent strains: OG Kush and an unknown Dragon variety. The exact origins of this strain are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it gained prominence in the early 2010s within the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain represents a careful blending of indica and sativa characteristics, creating a balanced hybrid that has become popular among both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking appearance. The flowers typically feature deep green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of crystalline trichomes. The buds are often tightly packed and have a distinctive, slightly elongated structure. Dragon Kush is noted for its robust growth pattern and relatively high resin production, making it a favorite among concentrate producers.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained recognition for its ability to provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Dragon Kush has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics and reliable performance.

Dragon Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
