Editorial profile

Gypsy Kush in detail

Origin & classification

Gypsy Kush – repeatedly written as “Gipsy Kush” in the original description – comes from Kannabia Seeds. The strain data lists Black Domina, Afghan and Ginger Ale as its genetic foundation. The detailed source text explicitly highlights an Afghani line, but does not explain the other parents in greater detail. The breeding profile focuses on homogeneity, resilience and abundant production of compact flowers.

Aroma & flavour

According to the breeder description, several plants sown at the same time are said to develop very similarly, almost like clones. This breeder-specific observation is not a general promise for every seed, but describes the intended stable appearance. The plants grow in a classic fir-tree shape and can become large outdoors. Strong side branches carry a significant proportion of the dense, resin-rich flowers.

Terpene profile

The source describes Gypsy Kush as resilient against rot, fungi and other stresses. It is said to be suitable for cultivation in different media. At the same time, the breeder warns against overfertilisation and specifies a maximum EC value of 2,2. This precise cultivation detail comes from a single breeder-specific description and should not be understood as a universal guideline without adapting it to the substrate, water and fertiliser system.

Effect tendency

For flowering, the narrative text specifies 58 to 62 days, while the structured field summarises this as eight to nine weeks. Both details are consistent with each other. Outdoors, early October is given as the flowering or harvest period. A height of up to 200 centimetres and yields of 500 grams per square metre indoors and 650 grams per plant outdoors also appear in the source. These figures are grower-dependent breeder values, not guaranteed results.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

From a sensory perspective, only a has beforecharacter is recorded; a detailed aroma or flavour description is absent. In terms of effects, Gypsy Kush is described primarily as relaxing. Brief euphoric moments are also said to occur. The source mentions a high THC content but does not provide a verifiable percentage range. The strain is therefore not assigned an invented laboratory figure.

Further classification

Two awards documented for 2016 at the Lift Expo in Vancouver are notable: first place for Solvent Hash and first place for “Best in Show”. These details underline the historical focus on resin-rich flowers and processing, but should be checked against the competition records before final publication. Overall, Gypsy Kush is documented primarily as a homogeneous, robust and resin-focused Kannabia selection with a relaxing character.
