Also known as: Sun Kush
Sunshine Kush Strain Overview
Sunshine Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Midnight Roots Genetics through careful selection and methodical backcrossing to create a truly unique indica-dominant profile. The strain's lineage is a blend of Purple Kush and the rarely available SSDD, resulting in an indica-dominant hybrid that has both potency and depth in flavor. This unique heritage lends Sunshine Kush its calming and sedative properties. However, some sources also reference Sunshine #4 x Fire 18 genetics with a flowering cycle of 63-70 days. The strain exhibits both indica and sativa phenotypes, reaching THC levels up to 27% with genetic influences from both OG Kush and Michigan Sunshine creating a distinctive hybrid profile. This mysterious member of the OG Kush family features a complex terpene profile dominated by limonene and boasts dense, frosty appearance with versatile growing potential.

Sunshine Kush Strain Growing Information
The Sunshine Kush strain requires a semi-humid growing environment and is a little difficult for brand new growers. The seeds are not available online due to proprietary rights, but they can be grown with cuttings. Flowering occurs between day 53 and day 62, with an average harvest on day 58. Plants grow between 30 and 60 cm and offer a generous yield of 1-2 ounces per plant. The strain is mostly indica-dominant and can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 67 days. Midnight Roots Genetics' Sunshine Kush was never available as feminized seeds. The strain thrives between 24–28°C daytime and 18–22°C nighttime in flower, with 40–50% RH to minimize botrytis risk. Regional considerations include climate adaptation, with humid regions requiring faster-finishing, more open-structured phenos and aggressive canopy management.
