Master Kush in detail

Origin & classification

Master Kush is an indica-dominant strain from MasterKush × Hindu Kush × Skunk. YAK is named as the breeder. With up to 25 % THC, Master Kush clearly falls into the stronger range. With up to 1 % CBD, CBD plays more of a secondary role.

Aroma & flavour

In terms of aroma, Master Kush primarily presents as citrusy, earthy and lemony. Caryophyllene, Limonene and Myrcene fit this impression well and give the profile additional depth. The combination of sweeter and classically spicy notes makes the strain more distinctive than many smoother standard hybrids.

Terpene profile

Master Kush is generally described as heavy, body-focused, relaxing and couch-locking in its effects. Overall, the strain therefore tends towards a calmer, more physical direction.

Effect tendency

The flowering time is stated as around 56 days. Master Kush therefore feels more classic and direct than sweet and playful.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

Master Kush is more suited to people who place greater emphasis on calmness, depth and physicality in a strain. Those who enjoy classic, direct and not overly polished strain profiles may find this direction more appealing than pure trend strains.

Further classification

Up to 25 % THC give Master Kush a powerful potency profile. At up to 1 % CBD, this value clearly remains secondary in Master Kush. It is described primarily as heavy, body-focused, relaxing and couch-locking. Aromatically, it moves between citrusy, earthy and lemony. Caryophyllene, Limonene and Myrcene are the dominant terpenes. At its genetic core is a cross of MasterKush x Hindu Kush. Skunk is also named as an additional genetic influence. What makes Master Kush interesting is the interplay between sweet, fruity notes and the more classic earthy-spicy base. In Master Kush, Caryophyllene adds a spicy, slightly peppery edge to the overall profile. This brings Master Kush closer to strains described through calmness, physicality and a fuller character. Skunk-related lines give Master Kush a more direct, spicier and more old-school character. Master Kush's strong potency profile complements its other characteristics, but does not replace them. The flowering time is recorded as approximately 56 days.
