Spider Kush
Also known as: Spider OG Kush
Spider Kush Strain Overview
Spider Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among enthusiasts for its potent effects and distinctive characteristics. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is generally believed to be a phenotype or cross of OG Kush genetics, possibly with other indica varieties. Breeders developed Spider Kush to emphasize the classic Kush traits while enhancing certain aromatic and visual qualities. The name likely references the strain's web-like trichome coverage and its connection to the Kush lineage.
Visually, Spider Kush plants typically display dense, compact buds with a deep green coloration often accented by purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are heavily coated in resinous trichomes that give them a frosty, almost crystalline appearance. Orange pistils weave through the bud structure, creating a striking contrast. The strain's aroma profile combines earthy, piney notes with subtle hints of citrus and spice, while the flavor often includes undertones of wood and herbs with a smooth, sometimes sweet finish.
Spider Kush is known for its relatively fast flowering time and moderate yield, making it appealing to growers seeking efficient production. The plants tend to remain short to medium in height, which suits indoor cultivation spaces well. While not considered extremely difficult to grow, Spider Kush may require attention to humidity levels to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure. The strain has gained a following primarily in North American markets and among home growers, though it remains less documented than some mainstream Kush varieties.

Spider Kush Strain Growing Information
Spider Kush is considered moderately easy to grow, suitable for cultivators with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. Spider Kush prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with low humidity. Plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation and managing humidity (ideally below 50% during flowering) to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
