MassKush
Also known as: Massachusetts Kush, Mass Kush
MassKush Strain Overview
MassKush, also known as Massachusetts Kush, is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that originated in the New England region of the United States. The strain was developed by crossing classic Kush genetics with local Massachusetts landrace or hybrid varieties, though its exact lineage remains somewhat obscure due to its underground origins. Breeders in the Massachusetts cannabis community developed this strain to thrive in the region's specific climate conditions while maintaining the desirable characteristics of traditional Kush varieties.
MassKush is characterized by dense, resinous buds that typically display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma profile combines earthy Kush notes with subtle citrus undertones, creating a complex sensory experience that has contributed to its popularity among connoisseurs in the Northeast cannabis scene.
While not as widely documented as commercial strains from established breeders, MassKush has gained recognition for its balanced effects and adaptability to indoor and outdoor cultivation in temperate climates. The strain represents an example of regional cannabis development, where local growers have selectively bred plants to suit specific environmental conditions and consumer preferences. Its emergence reflects the broader trend of craft cannabis cultivation that gained momentum in medical and adult-use markets across New England.

MassKush Strain Growing Information
MassKush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors and is typically ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in temperate climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but prefers controlled environments where temperature fluctuations can be minimized. Plants typically reach a medium height of 1.2-1.5 meters indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
