Violet Kush Strain Overview
Violet Kush is a California-origin strain related to the Purple Kush family, created primarily as a cross of Purple Afghani and Hindu Kush with traces of another secret Indica variety. The strain has robust genetics rooted in the Hindu Kush mountains and was developed by breeders in Oakland, California who stabilized it in the mid-1990s by crossing these pure indica landraces. Despite being an Indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 65% Indica), Violet Kush uniquely combines the sharp cerebral effects of Sativas with an extremely heavy body stone typical of Indica strains. This dense bud achieved recognition when it was ranked among High Times' Top 10 Most Powerful Strains in the World due to its average THC content of 22%. The strain produces small, fuzzy buds with bright green coloration, bright orange pistils, and dark purple hairs, characterized by thick, resin-coated flowers with vibrant colors including deep purples, rich greens, and a frosty finish of trichomes. Violet Kush has a distinctive aroma reminiscent of earthy, sweet grapes with a flavor profile similar to robust red wine.

Violet Kush Strain Growing Information
Cultivating Violet Kush is considered an intermediate challenge with a short, bushy form that grows close to the ground. The strain can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 60 days. Although naturally resistant to mold, pests, and powdery mildew, the plant should not be left wet to avoid serious issues, though its bitter flavor makes it unappealing to insects. Indoor cultivation is optimal as it allows for constant temperature control and protection from elements essential for the plant's health. Outdoor-grown plants typically finish blooming in late September, earlier than most other marijuana strains. The strain is relatively easy to grow for an indica, remaining fairly short and bushy, making it suitable for smaller grow spaces or indoor tents, and is hardy and forgiving thanks to its robust Kush genetics.
