Also known as: Irish Kush, Sweet Kush
Sweet Irish Kush Strain Overview
Sweet Irish Kush, also known as "Irish Kush" or "Sweet Kush" to most of the cannabis community, is an indica dominant hybrid (85% indica/15% sativa) strain created by breeders at the infamous TGA Subcool Genetics as a potent cross between the insanely popular and delicious Sweet Tooth X OG Kush strains. This strain has a delicious aroma of lemon drop candy and an even more tasty flavor of lemon drop candy with a hint of sweet peppery herbs upon exhale, with buds giving off a sour and sweet citrus-tinged odor, while grinding reveals hashy, spicy backgrounds passed on from OG Kush. The buds are small to medium-sized with bright neon green grape-shaped nugs featuring thin amber hairs and undertones, dusted with a fine powdery layer of white crystal trichomes, maintaining an elongated, almost cylindrical shape with vivid spring green leaves twisted through with dark brown pistils. Detailed genetic studies indicate a 75% genetic similarity to traditional Kush strains but with a significant infusion of Sativa phenotype influencing its structure and effects. The strain has been used extensively in breeding programs by TGA Subcool to create notable crosses like Quantum Kush and Mickey Kush, establishing its importance in modern cannabis genetics.
