Pink Kush, as coveted as its OG Kush relative, is an indica-dominant hybrid with powerful body-focused effects. In its exceptional variations, pink hairs burst from bright green buds barely visible under a blanket of sugar-like trichomes, with traces of a sweet vanilla and candy perfume. The potency of this strain could be considered overpowering, and even small doses are known to eliminate pain, insomnia, and appetite loss. Growers have to wait 10 to 11 weeks for Pink Kush’s flowering, but high yields of top-shelf buds are worth the wait.
The Pink Kush strain is a hybrid that was brought onto the scene and quickly gained popularity thanks to its astounding pink pistils and quality genetics.
Pink Kush is one of the strains belonging to the Kush family. This strain quickly became a fan-favorite in Canada as it flooded the medical cannabis circles.
As for its genetics, Pink Kush is an Indica-dominant hybrid. It is said that Pink Kush is a relative of OG Kush.
It gets its name after its pink pistils, which come out of the flowers during growing. After harvest, these pink pistils are not as visible as during the flowering phase.
Sometimes, Pink Kush isn’t pink at all. This trait is actually called incomplete dominance.
It happens when the dominating gene (let’s say purple gene) isn’t completely transferred onto the offspring.
Once growers saw this trait in Pink Kush, they stabilized it through breeding, which is why we now have both Purple Kush and Pink Kush.
Pink Kush nugs will have a variety of colors on them after they’ve been properly dried and cured, but pink is not one of them.
The nugs coming off this strain won’t be huge, although they are thick and smelly.
Pink Kush has a lot of resin, and its nugs can often be covered with white resin if you look through a macro lens. However, when looked at from a distance, they just seem eerily green.
Aroma & Taste
It is said that Pink Kush has a distinct floral taste, but I’m not on that train. For me, this strain has a classic Kush taste.
After each drag, you feel that pungent, sweet smell.

Since it can be grown both outdoors and indoors, it’s best to find a place where the smell of the budding flowers won’t disturb your neighbors.

This might be a bad choice for first timers and inexperienced smokers, as strains with such levels of cannabinoids are known to induce paranoia and can potentially have disrupting effects.
The buds from the cannabis strain Pink Kush are so inundated with trichomes that they appear diamond encrusted. Pink Kush is a indica dominant hybrid strain that exudes a strong pine scent, followed by the essences of tree bark and garden flowers.
When burned, these buds taste like sweet and earthy, with clear floral notes.
As an indica dominant, Pink Kush is a knock-out strain that can slip someone into a couch-lock with just one solid puff. It will stimulate a strong appetite as it instills joyous thoughts and big smiles. Its body buzz may work wonders for treating chronic pain, muscle tension, cramps, or other consequences of constant stress and inflammation. Reserve this one for later-in-the-day use.
