Also known as: Kush Age
Kushage Strain Overview
Kushage is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by TH Seeds that combines two legendary parent strains: OG Kush and SAGE (Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium). This strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to create a variety that would capture the best qualities of both its parents. The name 'Kushage' is a portmanteau of its parent strains' names, reflecting its genetic heritage. The strain has gained popularity among experienced cannabis consumers for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.
Visually, Kushage typically produces dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers are often medium to dark green with occasional purple hues that can develop under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, and a thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, making it suitable for various training techniques.
Kushage is notable for its complex aromatic profile that combines elements from both parent strains. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been praised for its reliable performance and consistent quality. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Kushage maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and sophisticated flavor profile.

Kushage Strain Growing Information
Kushage is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and low humidity during flowering. Kushage can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with indoor cultivation allowing better environmental control. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields.
