Gusher
Also known as: Gushers, Gusher OG
Gusher Strain Overview
Gusher is a popular hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the California cannabis scene. The strain was developed by crossing two well-known parent strains, Gelato #41 and Triangle Kush, creating a balanced hybrid that has gained significant popularity in both medical and recreational markets. Its name derives from the strain's distinctive resin production and flavor profile that users describe as reminiscent of fruit gusher candies.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual appearance. Gusher buds typically feature deep purple and forest green coloration with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the dense flower structure. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at the strain's potency. The buds are often medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure that breaks apart to reveal complex aromatic profiles.
Gusher has become particularly notable for its balanced effects and complex terpene profile. The strain has maintained consistent popularity due to its reliable performance both in cultivation and consumption. While exact origins can be difficult to verify in the cannabis industry, Gusher is widely recognized as a product of expert breeding that combines desirable traits from its prestigious lineage.

Gusher Strain Growing Information
Gusher is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions.
The plant tends to grow to a medium height, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers should monitor humidity levels carefully as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold in high humidity environments. Gusher responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration. The plant prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and benefits from proper nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase when resin production peaks.
