Kush-Ultra
Also known as: Kush Ultra, Ultra Kush
Kush-Ultra Strain Overview
Kush-Ultra is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that represents a contemporary interpretation of classic Kush genetics, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community. The strain appears to have emerged in the early 2010s, likely developed by breeders seeking to enhance the potency and flavor profile of traditional Kush varieties. While documentation is limited, Kush-Ultra is generally understood to be part of the broader Kush family that traces its lineage back to landrace strains from the Hindu Kush mountain region spanning Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The strain exhibits characteristics typical of Kush varieties with some modern enhancements. Plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward indica dominance, though the effects are often described as balanced. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to sometimes purple hues, with bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that give the buds a frosty appearance. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy Kush foundation notes with more modern citrus and pine accents.
Kush-Ultra has gained recognition primarily in North American markets, particularly in regions with established medical and recreational cannabis programs. While not as historically significant as original landrace Kush strains or some of the more famous Kush hybrids like OG Kush, Kush-Ultra represents the ongoing evolution of Kush genetics in contemporary cannabis breeding. The strain's popularity stems from its reliable effects and enhanced potency compared to some traditional Kush varieties, making it appealing to both recreational users and those seeking therapeutic benefits.

Kush-Ultra Strain Growing Information
Kush-Ultra is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Kush-Ultra responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and mold but require good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly during the vegetative stage.
