Kosher Kush
Cannabis Strain Summary
Terpene Profile- Primary
Myrcene (dominant - earthy, musky, herbal character); Limonene (bright citrus, lemon zest notes); Caryophyllene (spicy, peppery, funky undertones)
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Pinene (pine freshness); Humulene (earthy, woody notes); Linalool (floral sweetness); Terpinolene (herbal complexity); p-cymene (trace amounts); Note: Exact percentages vary by cultivator and growing conditions
The Experience- Common Effects
Profound physical relaxation progressing toward couch-lock; Heavy, warm, deeply sedating body high; Spacey, contemplative mental state; Pleasant detachment from stressors; Consistent mood elevation; Contentment and blissfulness; Strong appetite stimulation (munchies); Facilitates restful sleep; Effective for insomnia
The Experience- Duration
Total duration: 4-6 hours (smoking/vaporizing); Steady plateau for 2-3 hours; Gradual taper over 1-2 hours; Sedative qualities intensify rather than dissipate with time; Concentrate/edible forms extend duration considerably
The Experience- Onset
Onset within 5-10 minutes; Initial cerebral lift with euphoria and mood enhancement; Progresses over 15-30 minutes to dominant physical relaxation; Wave of body sensation starting in head/shoulders spreading to limbs; Weighted, melting sensation with muscle tension release; Peak effects 30-60 minutes post-consumption
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dry mouth (cottonmouth - very common); Dry, irritated eyes (common); Dizziness at higher doses; Anxiety or paranoia (less experienced consumers or excessive doses); Overwhelming sedation if timing inappropriate; Mild headache during comedown (less common)
Strain Type
Indica-Dominant Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Morning or early afternoon use (unless seeking sedation); Active social events requiring energy; Tasks requiring focus and motivation; Operating vehicles or machinery; Any situation requiring alertness and quick reflexes; Professional or formal settings
Lineage and Origins
Originated in Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley during early 2000s; Primarily descended from OG Kush with possible unknown indica contribution; Initially clone-only variety stabilized by DNA Genetics; Won High Times Cannabis Cup Best Indica 2010 & 2011, Best Strain 2011; First commercial strain blessed by a rabbi
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 20-29% (typically 22-26%); CBD: 0.1-0.5% (typically 0.1-0.4%); CBN: trace to 0.7%; CBG: trace amounts; High THC-to-CBD ratio creates THC-dominant psychoactive experience
Comparable Strains
OG Kush (parent strain, less sedating, more balanced effects, stronger citrus); Bubba Kush (pure indica, coffee-chocolate flavor, caryophyllene-dominant); Hindu Kush (landrace indica, spice-sandalwood flavor, simpler profile); Strawberry Banana (heavy indica, sweeter fruit flavor, shorter flowering); Sunset Sherbet (indica-dominant, dessert-like berry flavor, Cookie Fam genetics)

Thinking about growing your own cannabis?

Cultivation Resilience
Moderate difficulty; Some susceptibility to powdery mildew and bud rot in high humidity; Requires proper air circulation and dehumidification; Responds well to moderate-to-heavy feeding; Manageable for growers with basic experience
Cultivation Flowering Time
63-70 days (9-10 weeks) from flip to flowering; Some phenotypes finish at 8 weeks; Full 10 weeks maximizes terpene development; Harvest when trichomes are predominantly cloudy with 10-15% amber
Cultivation Yield
Indoor: 450-550g/m² (16-20 oz/m²); Outdoor: 18-25 oz per plant in favorable climates; Excellent flower-to-leaf ratio; Relatively straightforward trimming
Cultivation Plant Structure
Notably tall for indica variety; Strong lateral branching with robust structure; Moderate internodal spacing; Broad indica-like leaves with dense foliage; Moderate stretch during early flowering (50-75% height increase); Benefits from topping, LST, and SCROG techniques; Requires height management indoors
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Extremely generous trichome production (frosted appearance); Sticky, resinous texture; Overwhelmingly pungent aroma (earthy-sweet-skunky); Deep forest green to lime coloration; Purple accents in cooler conditions; Abundant orange to amber pistils; Dense but not rock-hard structure; Proper cure maintains aromatic intensity with refined flavor
