Strawberry Kush
Strawberry Kush
Also known as: Strawnana (sometimes confused with Strawberry Banana)
Overview
Strawberry Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing OG Kush with Strawberry Cough, resulting in a well-balanced cannabis cultivar that combines the relaxing properties of OG Kush with the sweet, fruity characteristics of Strawberry Cough. This strain emerged in the underground cannabis markets during the 1980s and 1990s, with some sources attributing its development to Royal Dutch Genetics Seeds, though multiple breeders have worked with this genetic combination over the years. The strain gained popularity for its distinctive sweet strawberry aroma and flavor profile, which is enhanced by earthy, musky undertones typical of Kush varieties. Strawberry Kush plants exhibit typical indica growth characteristics, remaining relatively short and bushy with large, dark green leaves and dense, resinous buds. The flowers often display vibrant green hues with some phenotypes showing purple coloration, covered in crystalline trichomes and orange-to-brown pistils. This strain has become particularly valued for its balanced effects that provide relaxation without overwhelming sedation, making it suitable for both recreational and medicinal use.

Growing Information
Strawberry Kush is considered moderately easy to grow and suitable for beginners. Indoor flowering time ranges from 60-67 days (8-10 weeks), with plants typically reaching 100-150cm in height. Indoor yields average 450-550g/m² under proper conditions. The strain responds well to training techniques like SOG, SCROG, and super-cropping. Plants prefer warm temperatures, bright light, and humidity levels between 40-50% to prevent mold and mildew. Outdoor cultivation is possible in Mediterranean-type climates, with harvest typically ready by early to mid-October, yielding 600g+ per plant. The strain benefits from regular pruning due to its bushy growth pattern and requires adequate nutrition during flowering to maximize resin production.
