Wushu Punch
Also known as: Wu Shu Punch
Wushu Punch Strain Overview
Wushu Punch is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing two notable parent strains: Wookies (a cross of The White and Appalachia) with Purple Punch (itself a cross of Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple). This genetic combination results in a strain that exhibits characteristics from both its indica and sativa heritage, though it typically leans slightly indica-dominant in its effects. The strain first gained attention in the mid-2010s and has since developed a following among connoisseurs for its unique flavor profile and potent effects.
Visually, Wushu Punch buds are typically dense and chunky with a structure that reflects its indica lineage. The flowers often display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, complemented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's name references both its genetic heritage (from Purple Punch) and the martial art Wushu, suggesting a powerful, focused effect.
Wushu Punch is known for producing large, resinous flowers with a complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. The strain has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets, though it remains somewhat specialized and is not as widely available as more mainstream commercial strains. Growers appreciate Wushu Punch for its relatively straightforward cultivation and generous yields when grown under optimal conditions.

Wushu Punch Strain Growing Information
Wushu Punch is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yields.
