About the Burmese Kush Strain

Burmese Kush, a product of OG Kush and Burmese Indica, was created in the Netherlands, where it holds the nickname BuKu. This potent Hybrid became a hit and was one of High Times top ten strains in 2007.  

Plants of this strain reach a height of around 36 inches and flower at 7-8 weeks. Buds are small to medium-sized and dense, sage green with hints of purple and adorned with fiery amber hairs. The Indica/Sativa ratio is very even, at almost 50%/50%, and carries high levels of THC content.

The aroma of Burmese Kush is a pleasant mix of earthy pine and sweet, making you feel as though you’re about to venture into a forest surrounded by pine and berries. The complex taste is just as enjoyable, you can expect light earth and pine accompanied by citrusy grapefruit and lemon flavors, with a sweet berry finish. You can expect a smooth hit from this strain.  

Effects of Burmese Kush

The effects are generally slow to hit, but once they do, they are strong and long-lasting.

As time passes, the calm high originally felt transforms into feelings of supreme relaxation. At this point, you might feel sleepy, which is what makes this strain best for evening use.
