Also known as: Crushed Velvet
What is the Velvet Lushers strain?
Velvet Lushers is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 33.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and creamy flavor profile.
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.
