Mexican Kush
Also known as: Mexican OG Kush, Mexi Kush
Mexican Kush Strain Overview
Mexican Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from Mexican landrace sativas with the classic OG Kush lineage. The strain was developed to preserve the uplifting, energetic qualities of traditional Mexican sativas while incorporating the potent, resinous characteristics of OG Kush. Breeders sought to create a strain that maintained the cerebral effects associated with Mexican varieties but with enhanced potency and structure from its Kush heritage.
Visually, Mexican Kush typically displays dense, conical buds with a forest green coloration often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma profile reflects its dual heritage, combining earthy, piney notes from the Kush side with subtle citrus and herbal undertones reminiscent of its Mexican ancestry. The flavor follows a similar pattern, with a smooth smoke that transitions from earthy to slightly sweet on the exhale.
Mexican Kush plants tend to exhibit a balanced growth pattern, showing characteristics of both its sativa and indica lineage. The strain has gained popularity among cultivators for its relatively straightforward growing requirements and among consumers for its well-rounded effects. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Mexican Kush represents an interesting fusion of Old World genetics with modern breeding techniques, offering a bridge between traditional and contemporary cannabis varieties.

Mexican Kush Strain Growing Information
Mexican Kush is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate. It typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to reach medium height, usually between 4-6 feet tall when grown outdoors, with indoor plants remaining more compact. Yields are generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in warm, Mediterranean-like climates when grown outside. Mexican Kush responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in overly humid conditions.
