Strawberry Kush can tend to throw you for a loop if you aren’t careful, as its genetics, origin, and dominant effects can vary. In general, this strain comes as a 70/30 sativa-dominant hybrid that’s available by clone only. Her parents are often Strawberry Cough and OG Kush, but again this can vary based on the dispensary. Many people love the calming sensations from stronger indica strains, while those who end up with a sativa-dominant bud will feel alert and energetic.

With a mellow THC level that averages at 18%, Strawberry Kush is a great strain for first-time smokers. It brings a complex aroma of citrus and strawberry with notes of earthy pine lingering in your nose, while it offers a flavor profile that’s similar to a musky imitation strawberry taste. Nugs are super dense and covered in dark orange pistils with a fine dusting of light trichomes.

Those who smoke the indica version of Strawberry Kush love the calming body sensation that comes with its high. Users are functional and tend to choose this strain as an after dinner treat, and some find that it can even help with arousal. The more sativa-dominant varieties of Strawberry Kush bring an alertness to one’s mental state, making it more of a daytime type of strain.

Whether you’re looking for indica or sativa effects, either version of Strawberry Kush will do the job when it comes to medicinal uses. It’s great for stress reduction and helps with depression, and can also take the edge off of body pain. Although it’s not super strong when it comes to THC, it’s strong enough that mild cramps, headaches, or soreness can dissipate with ease. Some users turn to the indica-dominant strain for help with insomnia as well.

An awesome strain for those who have limited growing space or minimal experience, Strawberry Kush will flower into compact little plants that are easy to maintain. They have a tendency to get rather branchy, especially when cultivated outside, so growers might want to use sea of green methods for better results. A short flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks produces a healthy yield that smells great.

New smokers may want to study up on their cannabis effects before smoking Strawberry Kush because depending on which type of strain they receive, their expectations could vary wildly. Whether it’s an indica experience or a sativa blend that gets you high, there’s no doubt you’ll love this strain’s smell, taste, and smooth high with awesome effects.
