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 on 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 7-8 weeks, making her on of TH Seed’s fastest strains.
