Kushington
Also known as: Kush-ington
Kushington Strain Overview
Kushington is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that represents a carefully crafted blend of classic Kush genetics with contemporary breeding techniques. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in the cannabis community, it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a strain that combined the robust physical characteristics of Kush varieties with more balanced effects suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic use. The strain's name suggests a connection to the famous Kush family of cannabis strains, which originated in the Hindu Kush mountain range spanning Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Visually, Kushington typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced under cooler growing conditions. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance, while orange pistils weave through the dense floral structures. The strain's leaves tend to be broad and dark green, characteristic of its Kush heritage.
Kushington has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and complex aromatic profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, it has developed a following in certain cannabis communities where it is appreciated for its reliable performance and consistent characteristics. The strain represents an example of how modern cannabis breeding continues to evolve traditional genetics while maintaining connections to classic cannabis lineages.

Kushington Strain Growing Information
Kushington is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach a medium height, usually between 100-150 cm indoors, but can grow taller outdoors if given sufficient space. Kushington responds well to training techniques such as topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and careful nutrient management, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures between 20-26°C (68-78°F) during the flowering phase. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and implement preventive measures as needed.
