Flowerbomb Kush
Flowerbomb Kush
Also known as: FBK, Flower Bomb Kush
Overview
Flowerbomb Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Strain Hunters Seed Bank (also known as Green House Seeds) through crossing the legendary OG Kush with Green Crack. This award-winning strain gained international recognition by winning 1st place at the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup in the coffeeshop category and 2nd place in 2013. The strain exhibits a 70% indica and 30% sativa genetic profile, resulting in a balanced experience that combines relaxing body effects with uplifting cerebral stimulation.
Flowerbomb Kush displays distinctive visual characteristics with dense, compact buds covered in a thick blanket of crystalline trichomes and bright auburn or reddish-brown hairs woven throughout dark green leaves. The plant tends to grow stretchier than typical Kush varieties, with long branches that compete with the main cola and thick, overlapping leaves showing very dark green coloration with occasional black and purple hues. While not the heaviest producer, the strain compensates with exceptional quality and potency.
The complex aromatic and flavor profile begins with earthy, kushy notes reminiscent of its OG Kush parentage, followed immediately by an explosion of fruity flavors including citrus and orange. Pine, spice, and floral notes round out the profile, ending with a slightly peppery, warming finish. This sophisticated terpene expression contributed to the strain's success in Amsterdam Cannabis Cup competitions and continues to make it a favorite among connoisseurs seeking premium cannabis experiences.

Growing Information
Flowerbomb Kush is considered moderately easy to cultivate, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced growers. The strain prefers warm, consistent climates and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Indoor flowering time is 7-8 weeks with yields up to 0.8 grams per watt per square meter under 1000W HPS lighting. Outdoor cultivation finishes around early to mid-October with potential yields exceeding 1kg per plant under optimal conditions. The plant grows stretchier than typical Kush varieties with medium height and long competing branches. Growers recommend using soil over hydroponics to enhance flavor profiles, though the strain performs well in both mediums with medium EC nutrient levels. The dense, resinous buds require proper support during flowering due to their weight.
