Kush Genetics
Kush genetics represent a major lineage within cannabis breeding, originating from Hindu Kush mountain strains in Afghanistan and Pakistan. These plants are commonly associated with compact growth patterns, dense flowering structures, and earthy aromatic profiles often featuring sandalwood and spice notes. Kush varieties became foundational germplasm for countless modern hybrids, particularly in North American breeding programs from the 1990s onward. Lineage records frequently report Kush ancestry in numerous commercial and heirloom cultivars. Breeders working with Kush genetics often select for stability, resin production, and consistent plant morphology across generations.
