How to grow Qush
Taste
Seb's take
Bubba Kush Pre-98 crossed with Space Queen, and the earthy, pine-flecked nose gives away the Kush side plainly enough. The high is the settling kind — relaxed, happy, sleepy, with an appetite that arrives uninvited. Compact and easy to grow, at 17% THC she is honest about what it is.
Where it comes from
The Q, once again a Subcool signature, marks Space Queen's hand in the cross — here paired with Bubba Kush from the pre-'98 cut, one of the more storied Kush lines in circulation. Bubba lends the heavy, resinous indica frame and Space Queen the vigour and a little fruit, and the record credits the pairing with improved yields and genuine hybrid vigour. A compact plant with more in it than its size lets on, and a tidy example of the house style.
Nose & flavour
Earthy and woody lead, with a clear pine note and a flowery, spiced-herbal edge behind — the Kush half of the family making itself plainly known. It is a classic, grounded profile rather than a sweet or fruity one, the sort that smells unmistakably of good, resinous cannabis. Not shy, and none the worse for it.
The high
The effect settles the way the frame promises: relaxed and happy easing toward sleepy, with an appetite that tends to arrive uninvited and stay for supper. There is a brief uplift at the top before the body takes over. At 17% THC she is honest about what it is — a genuine evening's indica, the sitting-down sort, best met once the day's work is behind you.
Growing it
Compact but high-yielding is how the record has her, and easy to grow besides — the sort of plant that rewards without much coaxing. Flowering runs 55 to 60 days. No height or precise yield figure is set down, so I will not manufacture one; 'high yield' from a plant this size is credit enough. As a regular seed she will throw both sexes, so a grower after seed or a mother plant has the material to select from. Keep the scissors clean at trim — she carries her resin generously.
