Green Crush
Also known as: Green Crush OG, Green Crush Kush
Green Crush Strain Overview
Green Crush is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive cannabis breeding scene. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure in published breeding records, it is widely believed to be a cross between Green Crack and OG Kush, combining the energetic cerebral qualities of the former with the relaxing physical effects of the latter. The strain gained popularity among West Coast cultivators for its robust growth and distinctive aromatic profile before spreading to other markets.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that are typically forest green with occasional purple hues brought out by cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are heavily coated in crystalline trichomes and feature vibrant orange pistils. The foliage is a deep green, and the plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, a trait inherited from its indica-dominant OG Kush parent.
Notable features of Green Crush include its complex flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain's name references both its lineage and its reported ability to 'crush' stress and tension. It is considered a versatile hybrid suitable for both daytime and evening use, depending on dosage and individual tolerance. While not as historically documented as some classic strains, Green Crush has established a consistent reputation in cannabis communities for its reliability and enjoyable experience.

Green Crush Strain Growing Information
Green Crush is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The plant prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and thrives in controlled indoor environments. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to manage its bushy growth and maximize light penetration. Green Crush has moderate resistance to common molds and pests but requires good airflow due to its dense bud structure. The plant height is medium, typically reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 5-6 feet outdoors.
