We can’t even begin to talk about this incredible strain without first diving into who exactly created her. Ken Estes, the founder of Granddaddy Purple Collective, has made a true name for himself in the world of medical marijuana and has created countless strains that have made a huge difference in people’s lives. Ken’s Kush, also called Ken’s OG, celebrates his work through a cross between Granddaddy Purple, Sour Diesel, and OG Kush.

A moderate strain that’s ideal for all experience levels, Ken’s Kush averages at 19% THC and brings a mellow high that lasts only a few hours. Nugs are, dare we say, cute as can be in little neon green heart shapes along with a sugary coating of golden trichomes. Her Purple genetics shine through in both her flavors and aromas, with sweet berries, a bit of spice, and skunk permeating your every toke.

Rather than blast you high into the sky with psychoactive effects, Ken’s Kush brings on a mellow experience that’s neither motivating nor sedating. Instead, users will notice a euphoric rush wash over them and a feeling of relaxation that won’t change energy levels much. Imagine being able to function normally but without having to deal with all of the drama or stress of your daily life and that’s pretty much what this bud is about. Many will find a slight sense of arousal creeps over them and for the most part, you will notice a feeling of sleepiness toward the end of your high.

Depending on your tolerance, Ken’s Kush may be a nighttime only strain or you could enjoy her during the weekend for the ultimate in medicinal relief. This bud addresses both physical and mental ailments with ease, allowing pain and inflammation to subside quickly and helping to fight stress and depression. If you decide to smoke a ton of this bud, you’ll have a good chance at beating insomnia without having to deal with much in the way of paranoia.

We all owe a debt of gratitude to the man himself, as Ken’s Kush is easy to grow at home as long as you have enough time to devote to her care. Plants end up being quite short compared to other hybrids but do require regular pruning and topping. Perhaps the only concern is her flowering time, which has a massive range between 8 and 14 weeks.

Even if you only use cannabis recreationally, there’s no reason that you shouldn’t integrate some of Ken’s Kush into your regular smoking routine. While her creator certainly has a love for medicinal weed, her effects are still amazing for anyone looking to escape for a few hours. Try this bud on a lazy weekend or at night when you want to truly unwind.
