The Super-Marijuana “Kush/Skunk” story
In the US, it seems that the word ‘Kush’ is about as meaningful as ‘Skunk’ is in the UK.
That is, the two terms are applied to most indoor weed that’s sold for profit, and both names are used to suggest that the cannabis being sold is highly potent, rather than to indicate any particular genetic heritage. Before being adopted as the strain-name buzzwords of the moment, both “Skunk” and “Kush” were fairly strictly defined strains, with clear breeding or geographical origins.

SKUNK KUSH
As is clear from the name, Sensi’s most recent Skunk variant mixes the pure Afghani genes of Hindu Kush with the explosive vigour and unstoppable performance of Skunk #1. Less well known is the fact that there are several generations of cross-breeding in the history of Skunk Kush that add a distinctly different character to this strain. Skunk Kush has the thick stems and dark, leathery foliage of her Afghanica parent and displays Skunk’s vigour and size, typically gaining about 150% of her vegetated height in blooming, occasionally more. Bud formation is the particular winner in this pungent, hashy melting pot of cannabis cultivars.

MK Ultra
Genetics: mostly indica
Flowering time: 8-9 weeks
Yield per m2: 350 grams
Height: 100-120 cm
The legendary G-13 crossed with L.A.’s finest, the O.G. Kush. Very tight resin coated buds. Piney flavour that lasts and lasts – great head stash! Winner of the 2003 High Times Cannabis Cup, Indica category.
Master Kush
An Indian-Afghani hybrid created from two true-breeding Indica seed lines that were collected in different parts of the Hindu-Kush.
The cannabis from this area has always been valued for its resin production and Master Kush retains this quality, as well as the vintage flavour of her parents earthy and pungent, with a hint of incense.
The taste of Master Kush will remind many smokers of hand-rubbed charas hashish. This is no surprise, as Kush weed is a major source of charas. A plant of great physical power, without the mind-numbing ’stoney’ effect of many Indica strains.

Master Kush x Northern Light
Another very nice strain. The Master Kush adds its unique pungency to the Northern Lights 5 in this F-1 hybrid producing a short stocky plant packed with great tasting buds. High calyx-to-leaf ratio means the Super Kush buds are solid loaded with tricho-mes and easy to manicure. Excellent hybrid vigor makes this an easy to grow variety well suited to beginners and seasoned growers alike.

Famed for its liberal stance on the subject, Oakland (fondly dubbed Oaksterdam by the cannabis community) [...]
