BlackBerry Kush

Blackberry Kush is a cannabis cultivar of uncertain origins, predominantly indica (approximately 80%) with THC content testing as high as 20% and negligible amounts of CBD.

Many breeders believe Blackberry Kush is a combination of an Afghani landrace with either Blackberry or DJ Short Blueberry. Some also suggest that Bubba Kush or OG Kush genetics are involved. The buds are aromatic with a blend of fresh berries and damp soil, offering flavors that are earthy and almost diesel-like with a sweet berry undertone.

Medical marijuana patients choose Blackberry Kush for its potent sedative effects, leading to euphoria and uplifted moods. It is also reported to stimulate appetite and help combat insomnia.

Blackberry Kush is best suited for evening use due to its relaxing effects.

Growing

Blackberry Kush thrives in indoor growing environments, making it accessible for beginner growers to achieve high yields. It produces laterally branching bushes that require regular trimming for optimal air and light flow, resulting in dense, compact green-and-purple buds. Advanced growers can also cultivate Blackberry Kush outdoors but must protect it from fungi and spider mites.

Height

Humidity and Temperature

The plant prefers warm temperatures and plenty of light, though outdoor cultivation must be managed to avoid excessive humidity.
