Gupta Kush Strain Overview
Gupta Kush is a celebrated indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain named in honor of Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the renowned neurosurgeon, CNN medical correspondent, and prominent advocate for cannabis research and medical marijuana reform. Created through crossing Ghost OG Kush and Blue Moonshine strains, this strain was developed by Colorado Seed Inc. as an old-school indica that was both versatile and potent. The strain typically exhibits a balanced genetic ratio of approximately 60% indica to 40% sativa, though some sources describe it as an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa).
Gupta Kush is particularly notable for its therapeutic applications and robust growing characteristics. The buds are characterized by their lumpy, long grape-tomato shaped nugs with dark amber hairs and matching crystal trichomes, featuring an earthy lemon and berries flavor profile with a sweet pungent aftertaste. The strain exhibits a deep woodsy kush smell that is considered a fantastic hallmark of the kush lineage. This genetic cross has also strengthened the plant's structure and yield, making it an ideal choice for breeders seeking these stout attributes. The strain has gained recognition among both recreational and medical users for its balanced effects and medicinal properties.

Gupta Kush Strain Growing Information
Flowering time ranges from 8-9 weeks indoors with yields up to 21 ounces per square meter. The strain has an average flowering time between 56 and 63 days indoors and is ready for harvest between early and mid-October outdoors, producing large yields in ideal conditions. Gupta Kush showcases many well-loved attributes of Indicas - it is stout, branchy, and compact with above-average resistance to many common pests and diseases such as root rot, largely due to its robust root system. The strain is highly adaptable and will grow anywhere with relative ease, thriving in both small grow rooms with controlled environments and open spaces with lots of sunlight. A Sea of Green (SOG) setup will bring out its full potential, shortening the vegetative phase without hurting yields, though it requires growing at least four plants per square meter. The strain is highly resistant to mold, fungus, and other problems.
