Personal Question, Experienced Smokers Welcome.... Is the Kush really that great?

[Tarbosh]

This is an intuition I have been toying with lately, of how I feel that the kush and the sours when compared against some of the finest breeds, just dont hold their own?

I feel that if I blaze kush consecutively for say a week or two, I will eventually get tired of it and the effect it will have on me will be severly different then in the first three days of smoking it. One could easily argue that such things happen with all herb.

Yet, there are exceptions to all herb and I feel like strains like Original Jack Herer grown properly, or various clone onlys such as, Albert Walker, Oregon Purple Thai, Sage, F-13, Strawberry Cough, with only the sours being the anomoly of the kush lineage being able to roll on both sides of this argument, yet its primary foundations lie in the clone only "Mass Super Skunk" as well. So in short, do you think the kush can hold its own over time against the diversified portfolio of ridiculously bangin herb thats out there? Is it Just the Great Chemdawg Hype? Like Haze in the Heights?

I've been privileged to smoke some of the dankest herbs on the West Coast over the last decade plus, named or not. About a year ago I acquired a periodical hook for the OG Kush and Diesel clones. They are without a doubt top notch.

I would say that around Fall, these two strains get their best competition with all of the amazing outdoor there is and that occasionally (like twice a year) I acquire something better. The high from the Diesel doesn't last as long as I would like but it is a special kind and the olfactory sensations are just amazing. Also yields well for high grade medicine.

I love the OG to death. Again, the flavor and aromas are enough to keep me coming but the headthumping stone keeps me there. And the flavor...did I mention the flavor?
Our clone yields pretty low and has shown a susceptibility to PM late in flower. Looks like shit in veg but so glorious in flower.

Yeah, I know you were only asking about the smoking aspect. On that level I would give both strains the good old nebulous "8 to 8.5" rating. Awesome, awesome smoke that is infrequently surpassed but potentially blown away by the next seed sprouted by one of us and certainly surpassed elsewhere by strains unavailable to me.

I've had many specimens of Trainwreck, Bubba Kush and AK47 that were just as good but ultimately The Chemdog Family is well on its way to earning its place in the pantheon.

First off a true kush has no sour taste to it. Dont confuse OG kush as an indica because it is not. Smoking on some OG will blow any flavor out of the water anyday. I mean real OG not that mass produced premi shit you get down at the pharmacies. Gets me the same high every time. From what i have noticed there is no ceiling really to the high. I smoke an eighth a day of OG and have smoked countless strains and the OG beats them all smoke and taste wise. Its first cousin Sour Diesel is the real deals too. That would be second on my list. Then the real mk cut that tastes like pine. I have smoked weed all over the US and have not found anything that came close to Kush.

The high is nothing that special, in my opinion. It does taste and smell very nice though

I love Kush! Im a WW man myself, its the first seed I ever bought and I smoke it to this day. Maybe cause of the name,the high,the great hash or the nostalgia. Regardless its one of my personal 10's. Kush has a great high though, its fairly easy to grow and has a really good taste. Not quite the kick of say AK-47 but its a different high all together. If pressed I would give it a rating of say 8, not the best in the world but neither is WW and I can honestly say im glad I had the opportunity to smoke it. On another note, I love the Kush blunt wraps by Royal Blunts

[MattHatter]

MMMmmmm, Raco, that OP Kush looks soo good, id have to pick that one out of the two. But im just a whore, flash a starkly purple leaf in front of me and im all over it. Nice pics bro, home grown? If so what companies Kush is that?

 

[dankbudz]

the high is great!! super knockout high. if you ask me there are very few actual kushes. OG kush not being one of those.

 

[Guest423]

kushes rule....they can't be beat imo

All good dank is about as good as any other, just in different ways.

All good dank is about as good as any other, just in different ways.

I disagree with that. A true canna head will smoke for flavor imo. Just smoke more if you are trying to get higher. Flavor should be the first on anyones list. Just cause something gets you super ripped but tastes like shit doesnt mean it is good LOL. No herb on this planet tastes as good as OG handsdown. I beg someone to show me some genetics better tasting Impossible and that isnt just my opinion. Also dont believe some weed is og just because someone says it is OG. It better smell like it tastes.

This is such a subjective question that it depends on who you ask and when. I've been enjoying og, purple kush, and chemdog for the past couple of years. but just last night I tried a sample of an unlabeled (stupid me) cross I made some time ago. It's either mother's finest x ? or an indica pheno neville's haze x ? ..

to the point, the high was far more on the sativa side then anything of the kush / chem family. In other words, a revisit of those fun old days when getting high was an awakening - exciting, thought-provoking, and fun. It was an energetic motivator, a conversation starter together with awesome clarity and heightening of the senses - sounds, colors etc.

Kush, although it does make me feel very good, doesn't do that.

 

[Grizz]

I still rember the first kush taste 20 years later. It was just indica back then but from growing that cut and seeing what they call kush now there is no mistakeing it.Deffinatly the best tasting stuff, I call it that fresh clean flavor,Highs are subject to the smoker, as some like the energy of sativa , I my self like the hybrid or relaxing non trippy high of alot of kush.

 

[Gulf Coast]

I thought it was hype as well but you truely can't get over the smooth taste and the relaxes body numbing high. my buddies thought it was internet hype but after smoking a few batches they all rave and want more
