Also known as: Temple, Temple OG, Temple Kush OG
What is the Temple Kush strain?
Temple Kush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Temple Kush is a rare pure indica strain created through a genetic cross between Hindu Kush and a Nepalese Hashplant, though some sources indicate it may also include unknown parent strains. The strain's lineage traces back to traditional hashish routes and cultivar exchanges that brought Kush genetics from Central and South Asia to Europe and North America in the late 20th century, with breeders later incorporating OG Kush descendants and selecting for resin density and the gassy-earth aromatics that OG made famous. The 'Temple' moniker likely arose from both the resin-forward nature of the line and cultural mystique around temple ball hash. Temple Kush is an indica-leaning hybrid celebrated for its resin-rich flowers, earthy-spice bouquet, and calm, centering stone that nods to classic Kush sedatives, appearing in many North American menus as a boutique cut sometimes under varied labels reflecting clone-only lines and breeder interpretations. The strain produces minty green buds featuring bright orange hairs and golden crystal trichomes with a sticky resin coating. It's important to note that there is also a separate high-CBD strain called Temple from Aurora Cannabis, which is entirely different with low THC (0.4%) and high CBD (up to 25%).
