Katyusha
Also known as: Katjusha
Katyusha Strain Overview
Katyusha is a distinctive cannabis strain that derives its name from the Russian rocket launcher used during World War II, reflecting its powerful and impactful effects. There are two primary versions of this strain: one created by Kalashnikov Seeds (Hindu Kush × Kubanskiy Ubiyza) and another by Dutch Quality Seeds (AK-47 × Bubble Gum). The Kalashnikov version is predominantly indica (80% indica, 20% sativa) with approximately 23% THC, while the Dutch Quality Seeds version offers a more balanced profile with around 15% THC.
Katyusha plants develop dark green, compact colas covered in a dazzling array of crystalline trichomes, indicating exceptional resinous production capabilities. The strain is renowned for its intense aromatic profile that combines sweet sandalwood notes with earthy undertones, creating a complex and memorable sensory experience. The flowers are medium-sized, dense, and full of resinous buds that require support during cultivation due to their weight. This strain is particularly valued for its potent relaxation properties and therapeutic potential, making it popular among both recreational and medicinal cannabis users.

Katyusha Strain Growing Information
Katyusha is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with moderate growing difficulty. The strain has a flowering time of 55-60 days (8-9 weeks) and reaches heights of 110-150cm. Indoor yields range from 500-600g/m², while outdoor harvests can produce 900-1600g per plant. The plant prefers Sea of Green (SOG) growing methods and benefits from increased air ventilation. Outdoor harvest typically occurs in mid-October. Growers should provide branch support during flowering due to the heavy, resin-laden buds. The strain shows good resistance to fungal diseases and adapts well to various growing conditions, though it performs best when Hindu Kush-like temperature conditions are maintained at night.
