Kolo Kush
Also known as: Kolo, Kolo OG
Kolo Kush Strain Overview
Kolo Kush is a relatively modern indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain was developed by crossing two well-known parent strains, creating a genetic profile that emphasizes relaxation and physical comfort. While its exact origin story varies among sources, most agree it emerged from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene in the early 2010s, though some breeders claim earlier development. The strain's name reflects both its geographical associations and its Kush lineage characteristics.
Visually, Kolo Kush typically produces dense, chunky buds with a structure characteristic of indica varieties. The flowers often display deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler growing conditions. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange to rust-colored pistils weave through the dense floral clusters. The buds are usually compact and resinous, with a sticky texture when properly cured.
The strain has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mild cerebral stimulation. While not as historically significant as some classic Kush varieties, Kolo Kush has established a niche following among users seeking potent indica effects without complete sedation. Its genetic stability and consistent performance have made it a reliable choice for both cultivators and consumers in legal markets.

Kolo Kush Strain Growing Information
Kolo Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively compact for an indica, usually reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and up to 180 cm outdoors. Kolo Kush responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. The plants are moderately resistant to common molds and pests but require good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when dense buds develop. Nutrient requirements are average, though the strain benefits from proper flushing before harvest to enhance flavor profile.
