Strain: Silver Kush
Category: Sativa
Genetics: OG #18 x Silver Bubble
The Kush name is among the most ubiquitous in the broad range of modern cannabis genetics. Its popularity with patients cannot be questioned, but if there is one fair criticism of the Kush phenomenon, it is that there are simply too many kushes that are too similar in their symptomatic applications. Kush genetics range, in almost every case, from the hybrid to indica side of the spectrum. This leaves sativa fans at a disadvantage when it comes to appreciating these popular options. Thankfully, the breeding geniuses at DNA Genetics have an answer to that, and it is a resounding one to say the least: Silver Kush.
Silver Kush combines a quality kush, OG #18, with the Dutch classic, Silver Bubble, to produce an OG hybrid that packs a sativa punch. Our cultivation team fell in love with this expertly bred genetic when it produced beautiful, heavily resinous flowers on its very first harvest at our facility. The buds are large, round and full, combining the dark green hues you’d expect from an OG with a stretched cone-shaped structure suggesting its sativa side. A tight trichome coating covers the leaves, emitting a delicious mint/pine aroma arising from the Haze genetics contained within.
The flavor is faintly fuel-infused, with a decidedly piney sweetness on the exhale that evokes its Dutch origins. Patients find the effect full-bodied, but functional, owing to the Silver Bubble’s sativa influences. The result is a mood-elevating experience that eases stress and depression, counter-balanced by sufficient physical symptom relief from the kush side of the cross. Patients who prefer kush but require an extra dose of focused energy during the day often report excellent benefits from this superb strain.
