Bubba Kush, Purple Kush, Orange Kush, Kush Kush...


So whats the smoke report on Kushs ?

Seems Kush strains are well loved.
Thanks
------------------------------------------------
The origins of Kush cannabis are from landrace plants mainly in Afghanistan and sometimes, Iran, Pakistan, and Northern India, with the name coming from the Hindu Kush valleys.

"Hindu Kush" strains of cannabis were brought to the United States in the mid to late 1970s and continue to be available to the present day.

I bought some purple kush this year, I have two growing outside. I'm hoping their females and if so I'm planning to do some cloning. If all goes well, then next year I would like to germ a female purple Kush with some excelant male plants that come from right around here.

Wow honored to talk to a breeder in the works

What's the taste like and effect of Kush's?

Purple Kush and Local King Cannabis, should be a great read when you start your journal.

Thanks

I love me some Kush

i hear they are great, a frind gave me some OG KUSH but i havent tried it yet...

Hi Munchies, I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but that is my plan, to try and bring the purple kush and a local strain together.

This is my first time ordering the purple kush let alone any seeds on line. So I have yet to try what they say is a sweet grapey smoke. It has a deep body stone that is wonderful for treating pain, inflamations and depressions among a few more. It is said to be very high in THC....

Now I was reading that purple kush comes from California,,, now what I have also read is she is considered an " elite clone " meaning she is only available as a cutting... What does that mean... Did I buy seeds for the purple kush when there is no seeds lol I hope not but you never know... I dare not say the company I got them from... But I really am hoping for the best and if I do have females and they are Kush , well lets say I'll have plenty to play with for a long while now.....

The joy a tiny seed brings is a miracle
Thanks

there are many clone varieties that are now available as a seeded hybrid of that variety and another plant. that is to say if your seeds are F1 then 50% of the genetic makeup is kush (at least we hope so).

if the genetics are further watewred down the percentage of kush may be real low meaning what you have may not be anything like kush but they will market anything like that as kush anyway cause the name sells.

i dont trust anyseedbank unless they have proven themselves as consistant and passionate.

time7-8 weeks

THC:Percentage up to 24%

I'll be looking forward to your journal when you get going on this CoN... I think it's important to keep the local breeds going too. I think were going to find that we will need them in the future, or wish we had them..

i cannot stress just how important this is. and rather than introducing 'commercial' starins into the gene pool my opinion is they should be bred between themselves...

Thank you ileso.... It kind of sounds like it's back to the drawing board for me isn't it... well for it being my first time ordering on line it has been a learning experience,,, Do your home work before you do anything... Oh well

hey dont be so down hearted.
although what i told you is true that doesnt mean the genetics you bought are 'bad'! infact they very likely arent. instead of getting a new name the marketers probably thought selling the kush bloodline would be more profitable thats all.

anyway what i wanted to get at is that, bought genetics are great genetics. you have to keep an open mind about wht you are really getting. and understand what you are getting. there are alot of spinnoffs but these have alot of good 'keepers' amongst them. good breeding material.

so dont be disheartened. and if you really want a particular strain, do the homework. trace the origins... and always try to obtain them from the most reputable source. this goes for everyone that wants a particular strain.

I wonder if there such a thing as a breeders convention where breeders talk and trade?

another thing, if anyone actually does research on strains you may find that in fact many 'different' strains have the exact same genetic makeup. which makes all this even more confusing because that means that instead of completely different strains you have a small amount of genetic material as the origin of dozens of 'different strains'. they were just mixed differently. this is particularly true when the material comes from just one or two breeders.. anyway. some strains are just different phenos of the same mix! makes you wonder about the way we the buyers are gullable to marketing strategies, and sleazy descriptions of cannabis...

I want to thank you ileso, you've answered an important question for me and it relieves my mind knowing now what I am somewhat to expect. It's going to be a good year no matter what,, I can just feel it

most breeders are very secretive and low key. safety is our first priority. many months/years go into a successful strain if done properly. and the safety of our genetics is priority. to lose a strain, worst still to lose a strains bloodline is a loss i cant even begin to explain. so to keep safe from bust, ripoffs and other unwanted things we are generally a quiet bunch.

and there arent just a few of us either. lots of our most prized and talked about strains came from little breeders like me and you... the strain then gets out. too much attention isnt good.

The Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam is something similar to what you are suggesting. A lot of proffesional growers gather together and exchage opinion, also there are a lot booths where they will give free samples and show their products. The last day you can buy things at a discount price. It is a very interesting experience. Do not buy the expensive tickets ($400), just buy the regular tickets ($45 good for a day)
The most interesting days are the first day (growers and selles want to impress the attendees) and the last day if you are going to buy something
It is always in late November
Good luck!
