Kush is to indica what Haze is to sativa: a whole lineage, not just a single strain. The first Kush plants were named after the Hindu Kush, the mountain range stretching from Afghanistan into Pakistan, where hardy, resinous indica landraces evolved over centuries.
Special Kush #1 brings that old-school heritage into the modern era. Royal Queen Seeds built her from Afghan x Kush genetics and offers her as a feminized photoperiod with an 80% indica / 20% sativa split and THC up to 17%.
She grows with the wild vigor of a mountain plant. Indoors she stays at 2 to 3 feet (60–90 cm) and produces 15 to 17 oz/m² (425–480 g/m²) after only 50 to 55 days of bloom (about 7 to 8 weeks). Outdoors, given room, she can tower to 7 to 9 feet (215–275 cm) and yield 18 to 19 oz/plant (510–540 g/plant) by late September.
Simple, sturdy and dependable, she is a no-fuss choice for growers who want classic Kush smoke without complications.
Flavor and Effects of Special Kush #1
Buds are small, tight nuggets of frosty goodness spread throughout the plant. The smoke carries a rich, hash-like taste with earthy depth, a fruity undertone and a pungent finish that lingers.
The effect is pure indica comfort: a heavy, full-body stone that relaxes every muscle and slows everything down. It feels like sitting by a fire in a mountain cabin with snow falling outside: warm, heavy and perfectly still.
Save her for late evenings when you have nothing left to do.
Fans of traditional hashish will feel right at home with her. The resin carries that dense, spicy, old-world character, and the moderate THC level keeps the experience heavy but approachable rather than overwhelming. She is a straightforward, honest Kush in a feminized seed.
Growing Special Kush #1 Feminized Seeds
Special Kush #1 likes to fill every bit of space she can. Indoors, top early and use LST or a SCROG net to keep her from outgrowing the tent. Her short flowering time keeps cycles quick.
Outdoors, she wants warmth and sunshine, with plenty of food and water to reach full size. She is listed for short-summer regions and finishes in late September, ahead of most fall weather.
