What is the Pine Tar Kush strain?
Pine Tar Kush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Pine Tar Kush stems from a family of pure indica genetics native to Pakistan, with its origin dating centuries back as a descendant of Pakistani landrace plants. This strain's genetics are pretty much the same as they were hundreds of years ago. It is an old indica line derived from Pakistan import that was introduced to Northern California in the early 1980's, most notably preserved for generations around the Emerald Triangle by Tom Hill. Currently distributed by Old Dreams Genetics, this strain represents one of the few remaining pure indica varieties in today's hybrid-dominated market.
Physically, Pine Tar Kush has small, packed buds with faded green leaves and golden-brown pistils, giving the strain a golden-orange sheen. The buds are covered with a thick coat of golden-brown trichomes filled with cannabinoids and terpenes. The nugs are small and leafy, super round bright neon green with sparse thin orange hairs, frosty gold trichomes, and an almost dripping coating of super sticky resin. This infamous bud is named for its super woody flavor and insanely sticky feel, which explains both its name and popularity among cannabis connoisseurs seeking an authentic landrace experience.
