X-Kush
Also known as: X Kush, XKush
X-Kush Strain Overview
X-Kush is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, representing a cross between classic Kush genetics and contemporary breeding techniques. The strain was developed to combine the robust physical characteristics of traditional Kush varieties with enhanced aromatic profiles and balanced effects. While its exact genetic lineage is often proprietary information kept by breeders, X-Kush typically displays characteristics associated with the broader Kush family, which originated in the Hindu Kush mountain range between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The plant exhibits medium to tall stature with dense, resinous buds that display a characteristic Kush structure. The flowers are typically dark green with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the compact buds, creating visual contrast. The strain's leaves are broad and dark green, typical of indica-dominant genetics, though its hybrid nature allows for some sativa-like branching patterns.
X-Kush has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain represents the evolution of Kush genetics in modern cannabis breeding, where traditional characteristics are enhanced through selective crossing. While not as historically established as some classic Kush varieties, X-Kush has developed a following in certain cannabis markets, particularly among users seeking a reliable hybrid with Kush heritage.

X-Kush Strain Growing Information
X-Kush is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it prefers a controlled environment for maximum resin production. Plants reach medium to tall heights (1.2-2 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. X-Kush is moderately resistant to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation and humidity control during flowering to prevent bud rot.
