Bud Basics
Kosher Kush: strange name, no? The story goes that this strain is the first commercial hybrid ever to be blessed by a rabbi, which might explain why this ganja can do wonders at bringing about enlightenment and bliss. Still, we’ll likely never know if it’s true - but either way, it’s less offensive than the strain’s previous name, and we’ll leave it at that.
Heavy-hitting, this hybrid herb has a variable THC ranging from 22% to a massive 29%, and those sorts of statistics tend to come with a list of awards. Winner of the Best Indica title at 2010’s High Times Cannabis Cup, she followed up in 2011 by winning the title again, alongside Best Strain.
Packed with mysterious genetics, no one really knows much about Kosher Kush’s lineage, though she’s rumored to be the descendant of OG Kush, and that tells us plenty. Earthy, pungent and with just enough sweetness to keep from being bitter, a few tokes of this ganja will have you reflecting on life itself, looking inward for profound revelations and outwardly finding yourself profoundly relaxed.
That very sedating effect of Kosher Kush Fem is partly why she’s a medicinal marijuana consumer’s ideal mate - capable of relieving pain and swelling, this stuff gets to work on chronic aches and pains in no time. And that’s not to mention the psychological effects.
With feminized seeds and a tendency to grow to humongous sizes if you leave her be, growing this baby can require a little patience - she needs topping and trimming and pruning or fimming, but she’ll pay you handsomely for your effort.
Flavor and Fragrance of Kosher Kush Feminized
Ever come across something or someone and just think they smell of “outside”? That’s much like what you’ll find breaking apart the buds of Kosher Kush Fem, as she brings together the enticing scents of nature, combining pine, sandalwood and a damp earthiness that’s pungent and potent.
Underpinned with spiciness in taste, inhaling this smoke will surprise you with a citric lemon kick that likely hails from the purported OG Kush lineage, and is a welcome refreshment for the tastebuds - often reported to be one of the tastiest smokes around.
Effects
If you’re planning on trying some Kosher Kush for yourself… stay at home. This is not a subtle smoke, and you will not be able to hide the intense, mental and physical stoned effect this bud brings on.
The perfect strain for relaxing or chilling out, the cerebral hit that overcomes you when you take a toke is introspective and spacey as all hell. This isn’t a head-high that gets you out of your own mind - in fact, it’s completely the opposite.
Self-reflection is the aim of the game with Kosher Kush Fem, and you’ll dig deep into your own mind to discover all there is to know about yourself, getting fully attuned with your brain and your body as you transcend into a state of serenity.
Once this mental high levels out, you’ll feel melted - and we mean that literally. The body buzz of these buds doesn’t lock you to the couch, per se, but your muscles will be so limp and relaxed that you really won’t want to move anyway.
As your lids start to feel heavy and the high winds down, you’ll start to notice a drowsiness that can vary from light to intense depending on the dosage consumed. Either way, you’ll want to give in to that sweet sweet slumber soon enough.
Dry eyes, cottonmouth, paranoia, dizziness, and anxiety are all possible downsides of this strain if over consumed, so beginners be warned - in fact, seasoned smokers beware too.
Medical Uses of Kosher Kush Feminized
Popular for her recreational, psychotropic effects above all else, with THC levels reaching such heights you’ll find there are still plenty in the medicinal marijuana community who will sing the praises of Kosher Kush Feminized.
Easing away anxiety, stress and depression with her anxiolytic and antidepressant properties, this strain’s introspective qualities can calm even the busiest of minds. As such, those suffering from mood disorders such as bipolar disorder can find welcome relief in the effects of a joint of Kosher Kush.
Capable of mitigating even chronic pain, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of this herb can reduce swelling and alleviate pain from injuries, migraine, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, fibromyalgia, spasticity, PMS and more.
As a potent appetite stimulant (a.k.a intense munchies), Kosher Kush Fem can encourage food consumption in those struggling with a lack of appetite from eating disorders, or as a side effect of medical treatments such as chemotherapy.
Since the body-stone of this strain is strong as hell, it’s no wonder that those with insomnia can find great relief in a hit of this ganja, as the peaceful mind and heavy lids that accompany her high set you up for a long night of restful sleep.
Growing Kosher Kush Feminized Seeds
Despite being an Indica-dominant strain, Kosher Kush Feminized can grow to an unusually large size if left alone, sometimes reaching and exceeding 6 feet. To keep her under control, we’d recommend topping or fimming the plant to control her height, and this will have the welcome side effect of boosting bud production.
Foliage-wise, trimming away unnecessary fan leaves and branches is essential for optimum airflow. A little pruning for more adequate light, and some heavy feeding will help Kosher Kush to reach her full potential. Keeping her in a warm, dry environment helps too, as this will keep moisture levels lower and prevent mold growth and pathogen attacks.
If growing indoors, this strain will thrive in both a Sea of Green (SoG) and a Screen of Green (ScROG) setup - which will also boost your final yield. Keep Kosher Kush in temperatures of 21° to 26°C, and with the correct care and attention you’ll be ready to harvest 450 to 550 grams of buds per square meter after 9 to 10 weeks of flowering.
Should you choose to cultivate outdoors, remember that this herb needs consistent light - Mediterranean climates with plenty of sunlight like Australia, California and Southern Europe are ideal for this Indica lady. Ensure she’s well-fed and full of nutrients, and an outdoor yield will provide you with up to 500 grams of nugs per plant - usually ready for harvesting around mid-October in the northern hemisphere.
Summary
Kosher Kush Feminized will hit you with an introspective, somewhat psychotropic high that works perfectly with the deep body relaxation she can provide. Award-winning and well-loved as a recreational and medicinal strain, it’s no wonder she’s rumored to have been blessed by a rabbi.
Earthen and outdoorsy in scent and flavor, the pine and spicy notes of this strain make for an herb not to be missed, and there’s no need to with all-fem seeds that grow sky-high in 9 to 10 weeks. Kosher Kush needs some heavy maintenance throughout her growth cycle, but up to 500 grams of buds can’t be argued with.
Medically-speaking, this strain can do a great deal to alleviate psychological symptoms from anxiety, stress, depression and more - but she shines just as well as a pain-reliever. A potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory, chronic pain is no more with this bud.
