About Pink Kush
Pink Kush is an OG Kush phenotype that was selected and stabilized in British Columbia, Canada. The strain gets its name from the distinctive pink-tinged pistils that emerge during flowering, contrasting beautifully with the deep green and purple buds. The buds are dense and coated in trichomes with a classic OG Kush structure. The aroma is a potent blend of sweet candy, floral perfume, earth, and fuel with a distinct kushy backend. The flavor is sweet and floral with notes of candy, earth, and gas. Effects are heavily indica and long-lasting: a powerful wave of relaxation that starts in the head and washes down through the body, often leading to couchlock and sleep. Pink Kush became the dominant strain in the Canadian medical and recreational markets.

The Story & Lineage Origin
Pink Kush was developed in British Columbia's legacy cannabis scene, where growers selected and stabilized an OG Kush phenotype that performed exceptionally well in the Pacific Northwest climate. The strain became the backbone of Canada's medical cannabis industry and later the recreational market after legalization in 2018.
Licensed producers across Canada made Pink Kush one of their flagship strains. The strain's consistent potency, distinctive pink pistils, and heavy indica effects made it the most recognized Canadian strain internationally.
Tom Ford Pink Kush is a particularly famous phenotype named for its association with the high-end fashion brand's aesthetic.
