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.
