Flowerbomb Kush

Overview

Flowerbomb Kush, winner of the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup with Green House Coffeeshop, is a dominant Indica strain, boasting a genetic makeup of 30% Sativa and 70% Indica, derived from Green Crack and OG Kush. It is known for its fast-acting, long-lasting, and complex high, featuring a mix of strong body relaxation followed by a cerebral, social, and creative experience. Although not the heaviest producer, Flowerbomb Kush is prized for its unique quality buds that are thick, compact, and covered in thick resin, offering an earthy, fruity, and spicy taste profile.

Growth Characteristics

With a moderate height and an average internodal distance under 3 inches, Flowerbomb Kush is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. It has an 8-week flowering period with potential yields up to 0.8 grams per watt per square meter indoors, and over 1kg per plant outdoors. This strain performs well in hydroponics yet yields sweeter and fruitier flavors in soil.

Appearance and Aroma

The strain features dark green, sticky, crumbled buds with extra-large calyxes and an even darker hue. Its scent is a blend of earthy, kushy, orange, rose aromas with spicier undertones. When burned, the taste is earthy, vegetal, followed by a burst of fruity sweetness, finishing with a spicy edge.
