What is the Sugar Kush strain?
Sugar Kush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and candy and earthy flavor profile.
Sugar Kush is an indica-dominant strain developed by Dizzy Duck Seeds in the Netherlands, representing a carefully crafted genetic combination of Kandy Kush, Hash Plant, and Northern Lights #1. This pure indica strain (100% indica) has established itself as a prominent medical cannabis variety recognized for its therapeutic properties and potent sedative effects. The strain gained international recognition with a third-place finish at the 2015 High Life Cup, demonstrating its superior quality and breeding excellence. Sugar Kush produces dense, resin-rich buds with emerald green coloration, purple undertones, and a thick coating of frosty white crystal trichomes that sparkle like sugar - hence its name. The strain features small rounded dark olive green nugs with thin orange hairs and an impressive resinous appearance that hints at its high potency. This variety has become particularly valued among medical cannabis patients for its strong, long-lasting relief properties and its ability to provide deep relaxation without overwhelming psychoactive effects.
