Woody Kush is a powerful indica that can knock smokers out with its deep physical sedation. This bud has a triple dose of Kush in its genetic background: Master Kush, OG Kush and a landrace Hindu Kush. Woody Kush, which is named for its woody, earthy scent rather than for cannabis advocate Woody Harrelson, is said to be a potent bud even for experienced cannabis consumers. Its THC content has been measured at between 14% and 23%.
Flowers of Woody Kush are visually very impressive, with a typically medium to large size and an elongated, almost cylindrical formation. These sticky columns of green had a decidedly indica bud structure, with small, closely-packed leaves. The leaves themselves are a pale shade of sage green and are twisted through with pale orange hairs (which are actually pistils, a botanical structure intended for reproduction). Finally, a blanket of translucent white trichomes covers these flowers, making them very potent and difficult to break up without a grinder.
When properly cured, Woody Kush’s flowers give off a strong earthy scent like dirt or vegetable matter. On closer inspection, there’s also a sour, skunky odor mixing with these top notes. Grinding up the tight buds, meanwhile, gives off hints of fresh pine. When combusted in a pipe or a joint, Woody Kush burns with an uncommonly smooth and palatable smoke. This thick smoke tastes like dank, skunky pine on the exhale.
A true indica, Woody Kush waits so long to start working that you might wonder whether it is psychoactive at all. Within 10 to 15 minutes, though, the smoker’s temples may throb slightly and salivation may increase. Once these initial sensations subside, a deep pull of relaxation tugs on muscles and eyelids. Smokers who may have been standing or otherwise physically active may feel some dizziness and may want to take a load off on the closest couch. Before sleeping, users may want to consider putting on a slow, moody album or a visually-engaging movie; atmospheric enhancements like these can amplify the strain’s tendency to amplify certain sounds and visuals. Woody Kush can also warp the senses in the form of distortions like flattened depth perception or a strong feeling of time dilation. Other than trippy effects like these, Woody Kush does not do much to stimulate the mind. Instead, consumers should plan on lounging in a cozy setting with plenty of snacks. The strain is as enjoyable when savored alone as it is when shared with some close, like-minded friends. As time passes or as dosage is increased, Woody Kush’s heavy relaxation can progress into full-on couchlock, happy incapacitating smokers and de-railing any plans they may have had for the rest of the day. In the right set and setting, it may even lull susceptible smokers into a deep, fulfilling sleep. Because of its entirely drowsy vibe, Woody Kush is recommended for consumption during the night or evening.
Woody Kush’s deep sense of calm can be of value to many medical cannabis patients as well. It can temporarily soothe the troubling symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety, and even PTSD. It is also able to relieve physical pain, whether it’s temporary, as due to injury, or chronic, as due to conditions like arthritis or lupus. Thanks to its thorough relaxation, the strain can also help lull susceptible smokers to sleep. Because it is known likely to bring about intense bouts of recursive thinking, Woody Kush is a good option for patients who are prone to panic or paranoia or who have a low THC tolerance.
Seeds of Woody Kush are not available for sale online. As such, prospective home growers should obtain clippings of mature, healthy plants in order to foster genetically identical “clones.” Thes plants can be grown outdoors or indoors; they tend to grow short and bushy with strong lateral branching and can easily be accommodated indoors. Woody Kush flowers within 9 weeks when grown indoors.
Woody Kush is a great heavy strain fo save for the end of a long, stressful day. Its immersive sedation is appropriate for recreational and medical users alike.
