Zombie Kush *Indica*

An indica-dominant hybrid (90 percent Indica, 10 percent Sativa) Zombie Kush (aka Zombie OG) is a cross of Blackberry and OG Kush. THC tests show a range of 18 to 21 percent THC and 0.3 percent CBD. This strain won a prize in the 2015 High Times NorCal Medical Cannabis Cup. While the CBD is low, the mostly Indica effects work well for medical patients and recreational consumers who want to zone out and become zombies – the relaxed kind of course, not the “gonna eat your brain” kind.

The OG strains are very popular in California where a simple formula has brought great results. Since the 1990s, breeders have taken a strain and crossed it with OG Kush, developing the genetics over time and producing reliable and potent strains. These strains are distinguished from others due to their terpene profile, which characteristically includes caryophyllene and myrcene, giving it the familiar floral and diesel aroma.

Zombie Kush is dank bud with a multi-dimensional flavor profile. Aromas such as pine, earth, and lavender tease the nose and delight the palate. Buds are on the small side. They are dense and bright green with orange hairs. White trichomes and resin are plentiful.

Recreational users can expect a couch-locking experience as the weed hits the body hard with sedation and sleepiness. You may feel some euphoria in the head while the body says not now, later. One way to use this strain is for introspection – lay on the bank of a river and contemplate your existence and then go home and have the best sleep of your life!

Deep and peaceful sleep is the promise to medical patients as well as a pain-free existence. People with stress, depression, insomnia, and anxiety will all find something to like in Zombie Kush. People suffering from wasting diseases or undergoing chemotherapy may find that they are much more likely to visit the fridge or cupboard for some delicious munchies.

Zombie Kush is not one of the easiest seeds or plants to find. Search for relatives like Zombie Kush or others in the Zombie or OG family. Grow it indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse. This plant yields high in the harvest with dense buds. Novice growers can attempt it. Expect average height plants and flowering in 9 weeks, which is a bit longer than other cannabis strains.

Named for the zombie-like state this strain will put you in, Zombie Kush is a favorite of recreational and medical users that just happen to be in the market for a peaceful weed coma.
