indica-dominant strain

Black Kush

Black Kush has a sweet, woody-earthy Kush profile with cookie, citrus, pepper and floral accents. A progression from uplifting, euphoric and tingly effects toward deep relaxation and sleepiness is described. The available lineage information is highly contradictory; therefore, the genetics remain deliberately open in the public profile.

Editorial profile

Black Kush in detail

Origin & classification

There appear to be different genetic records under the name Black Kush. The detailed source names Blackwater × Girl Scout Cookies. The raw dataset lists Girl Scout Cookies × Black Domina with Black Berry Kush as an additional influence, while the normalized lineage is not populated. Infinity Seeds is listed as the breeder, but the assignment of the named parents to this exact version is not sufficiently consistent. A specific lineage is therefore not published as an established fact.

Aroma & flavour

The sensory profile is better supported. Sweet and woody notes form the foundation, accompanied by earthy Kush and a subtle cookie aroma. Citrus adds brighter fruitiness. Peppery, spicy and floral accents round out the profile. Black Kush therefore combines dark, earthy elements with a sweet dessert side, without either direction dominating the entire bouquet on its own.

Terpene profile

Limonene, linalool, nerolidol, caryophyllene and myrcene are listed as terpenes. The source description connects them with citrus, floral nuances, pepper and the earthy foundation. However, no reliable concentration values are available. The specific terpene ratio, like aroma and flavour, may vary due to phenotype, cultivation conditions, harvest and storage.

Effect tendency

Experience reports initially describe a brighter, euphoric mood and, in some cases, a physical tingling sensation. A stronger calming, relaxing and sleepy component is then said to set in. Increased appetite is also mentioned. These details suggest a predominantly calm effect profile with a brighter initial phase, but remain subjective and are neither guaranteed nor to be understood as a medical effect.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

For THC, the description typically states 20 to 25 percent, while the master data only specifies a maximum of 25 percent. CBD is given in the source as below one percent, while the structured data lists up to one percent. Both values should be treated as batch-dependent ranges. Flowering time is given once as approximately 56 days and once as eight to nine weeks; 56 days correspond to eight weeks, so the figures are generally compatible. Until the genetic identity is clarified, Black Kush should primarily be presented through its consistently documented sweet-earthy aroma and the described transition from euphoria to physical calm.
