Velvet Lushers
Also known as: Crushed Velvet
Velvet Lushers Strain Overview
Velvet Lushers is an indica-dominant hybrid (60% indica / 40% sativa) created by Purple City Genetics through crossing Gushers and Gush Mints. Gushers is a cross between Gelato #41 and Triangle Kush, while Gush Mints combines Bubba Kush and Animal Mints genetics. The strain emerged in the late 2010s to early 2020s wave of dessert-forward hybrids that combined contemporary candy genetics with classic resin traits, paralleling the surge of strains like Runtz, Gushers, and Kush Mints. Velvet Lushers is an easy to cultivate plant with great growth vigor, suitable for SOG and SCROG methods. The harvest is ready in about 9 weeks of flowering, offering abundant resin and compact buds of excellent colorful appearance with medium indoor production but excellent quality. The strain offers complex organoleptic properties, with gassy aroma standing out over floral pine and lavender terpenes inherited from Gelato 41. The flavor packs a rare and addictive blend of pine, creaminess, and diesel, while the marijuana produces sage and olive green buds with burnt orange hairs, smothered in a thick frosty layer of shiny trichomes.

Velvet Lushers Strain Growing Information
Flowering time is approximately 9 weeks indoors with outdoor harvest in early October. Plants reach about 4.9 ft (1.5 m) in height. Indoor yields average 1.64–2.14 oz/ft² (500–650 g/m²), while outdoor specimens can produce 28–42 oz (800–1200 g) per plant under optimal conditions. Growers can anticipate a moderate challenge with medium-tall plants that produce an intense, almost penetrating aroma towards the end of the flowering phase, necessitating odor control measures. Yields can be as high as 575g/m² with proper cultivation. Maintain daytime temperatures of 70–78°F (21–26°C) and nights at 65–70°F (18–21°C) indoors, with humidity at 50–60% during vegetation and 40–50% during flowering. The strain is suitable for SOG and SCROG methods and responds well to low-stress training.
