The vintage flavoured cannabis strain Master Kush is an indica that’s been popular in Dutch Coffee shops since the mid-90s. It’s known for its sweetly pungent earthy scent and taste that has woody undertones. When harvest-ready, its buds are covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and hairs of stunning shades: oranges, reds, and yellows.
Both parents are landrace strains from the Hindu Kush region: Hindu Kush and Skunk. Master Kush is a unique tetraploid strain, meaning it carries four times the number of haploid chromosomes than diploid cannabis strains (diploid is the norm).
The Master Kush strain comes from a long line of cannabis plants that grew in the wild, throughout the mountain range between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Stemming from two landrace strains, Master Kush was originally named High Rise, after the building it was bred in.
