LA Kush
LA Kush
Also known as: Los Angeles Kush
Overview
LA Kush, also known as Los Angeles Kush, is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain with mysterious genetic origins that has become a staple of California's cannabis culture. The strain is believed to be a variety of OG Kush, possibly a select phenotype of Abusive OG, and was originally bred in Los Angeles, California. LA Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa) with widely debated genetics. Despite its unclear lineage, the strain has established itself as a notable presence within the cannabis community due to its potent effects and distinctive characteristics.
The strain presents dense, compact buds with a striking appearance. These buds have small to medium-sized dark forest green heart-shaped nugs with fiery orange hairs and translucent fine trichomes. The buds display two different shades of medium to darker green that appear lighter due to fine clear trichomes and burnt orange pistils, with super dense structure. LA Kush is renowned for its complex terpene profile that creates an distinctive sensory experience, combining earthy pine notes with menthol undertones that reflect its OG Kush heritage.

Growing Information
LA Kush has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. The plants are relatively simple to cultivate, reaching moderate size with substantial yield, and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor growth, making them excellent for novice and experienced growers alike. LA Kush thrives in a Mediterranean-style climate similar to Southern California, preferring warm, dry weather with optimal temperatures of 70-80°F (21-27°C). Indoor cultivation allows greater control over environmental factors, with high-intensity LED or HPS lights recommended, humidity kept at 50-60% during vegetative growth and reduced to 40-50% during flowering. The strain is moderate to high-yielding with dense bud structure requiring careful pruning and proper feeding, with indoor growers often seeing more consistent development than outdoor cultivation.
