Empire Kush

Empire Kush is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 20-26% on average, with 0.5% CBD. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Empire Kush high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. These combined effects make Empire Kush a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect earthy up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a earthy-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded bright neon green nugs, rust-colored hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

In the garden, Empire Kush is an easy, forgiving grow that suits first-time cultivators, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. It shrugs off common beginner mistakes, and yields stay respectable even when conditions are less than perfect. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Empire family — see Evergreen Empire and Kushan Empire for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
