BC Kush

Breeders at the BC Bud Depot farm created BC Kush by crossing BC Grapefruit with Kush, according to AllBud, and this flower carries the strain’s name.

Grapefruit, Kush and two Cannabis Cups

AllBud calls BC Kush a 100% pure indica, traces that indica heritage to potent Afghani strains, and says it has twice won the Cannabis Cup in the Best Indica category. AllBud also names three BC Kush breeds: BC Kush OG, Pink BC Kush and Purple BC Kush. Leafly classes the strain as a hybrid, a label our indica, sativa and hybrid explainer breaks down.

Popcorn-shaped nugs and a skunky nose

AllBud describes olive-green, rock-hard nugs shaped like popcorn, with orange hairs and a frosting of glittering crystals and resin, while one Leafly reviewer saw good-sized buds in green, purple and red. AllBud also describes a very strong, pungent skunk smell and a creamy, earthy taste, and the same Leafly reviewer found the smell very pungent and skunky, with a rich, sweet taste.

Citrus-tagged limonene comes first

Leafly lists limonene, which it tags as citrus, as the dominant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene; our guide to limonene covers that citrus terpene in more depth. Pepper, apple and berry are Leafly’s flavour tags, while AllBud tags the flavour citrus, creamy, grapefruit and sweet, and the aroma citrus, grapefruit, kush and sweet.

Head rush, giggles and energy

Leafly reviewers most often report feeling energetic, hungry and giggly, and Leafly’s effect slider rates the strain as mostly energizing. AllBud says users describe a potent, euphoric onset with a head rush, a very happy mood, bouts of creativity and social inspiration, and a relaxed body.

AllBud’s write-up calls the THC moderate, at 15% to 20% on average, and Leafly’s strain page shows about 20% with CBG around 1%. Leafly and AllBud each record ten user scores for BC Kush, averaging 4.5 and 4.3 respectively.
