About Kosher Kush

Kosher Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid bred by DNA Genetics from a complex genetic cross involving Jamaican, OG Kush, and Hindu Kush lineages. The buds are dense and chunky with classic indica structure: thick, tightly packed calyxes covered in a heavy coating of crystal trichomes. The aroma is pungent and complex: sour earth and pine fuel combine with sweet floral notes, lemon zest, and spicy Kush undertones. The flavor is equally rich — earthy Kush flavors, sour citrus, pine, and a distinctive sweet floral finish. The effects are powerfully indica: a gentle onset of cerebral euphoria quickly gives way to deep, full-body relaxation that can become strongly sedative at higher doses. Kosher Kush was named High Times Strain of the Year and won multiple Cannabis Cups.

History

Kosher Kush was developed by DNA Genetics in the late 2000s, incorporating a Jamaican sativa into the OG Kush and Hindu Kush gene pool to add complexity and vigor. The strain was an immediate success, winning the 2010 High Times Cannabis Cup in the Indica category and following it up with the 2011 High Times Cannabis Cup in the Bio Indica category. Kosher Kush was named High Times Strain of the Year in 2011, cementing DNA Genetics' reputation as one of the world's top seed breeders. The strain was particularly notable for combining old-school indica force with modern potency and flavor complexity. Kosher Kush remained a staple of DNA's catalog for over a decade and influenced numerous subsequent crosses.
