TH Seeds
Burmese Kush draws from old-world genetics, a dark green
sativa-indica hybrid from Burma that has a quick finishing time.
This plant has been married to one of the old school California
strains—a TH Seeds specialty. Although she is almost half
sativa, this hybrid stays quite small and exhibits hardly any
branching. These qualities make the Burmese Kush perfect for
the sea of green gardening method.
TH Seeds feeds this plant organic bio dynamic food from
Botanicare, but she responds very well to all fertilizers.
Outdoors she is a bit of a slow starter. TH Seeds recommends
pre-flowering for best results. Despite the slow start, she grows
very quickly once established, and can finish in 7 to 8 weeks,
making her one of TH Seed’s fastest strains.
This compact mama reaches about 1 foot (30 cm) during
typical vegging and triples to around 3 feet (100 cm) at the end
of flowering. When grown in a sea of green, plants usually yield
around an ounce (25-35 g) each. Plants grown in 1-gallon
containers will deliver closer to 2 ounces (35-60 g), while those
grown in 5-gallon buckets can yield up to 125 g per plant.
Burmese Kush develops from top to bottom, with slight lower
branching appearing late in maturation. She produces tight
buds with very small dense trichomes. The buds’ color is a
classic dark Kush green. The leaves are thin and flat. The buds
begin to blow out at two weeks of flowering, forming dense and
resin-coated nuggets. While she thrives in high heat conditions,
Burmese Kush exhibits a vulnerability to powdery mildew if
conditions are overly humid or wet.
The BK buzz is a creeper, but when it arrives, the feeling is
calming and brings a centered sensation rather than a big gong
to the head. It is good for those that prefer a mellow high
instead of a heart-racing speedy sensation. Her aroma and
flavor is decidedly pine, with a subtle sweetness that lingers
pleasantly on the tongue. This is not your pot for jet-setting,
but for relaxing and enjoying a leisurely meal once you’ve
arrived at your destination. Its genetic makeup suggests
medical applications for pain relief and appetite enhancement.
