The Kush cannabis strain is originally native to the Hindu Kush mountain range in Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan. It is one of the indica marijuana strains par excellence, from which many popular hybrids are born and other genetic crosses have been sought. They had used it there for hundreds of years for its medicinal and narcotic effects. It was a great discovery compared to the varieties that were already had in the West at the time, where cannabis and genetic varieties that came from tropical countries were already being traded like Colombia or Mexico and were primarily sativas. The new grass grew adapted to very cold climates and its flowering process was different .
KUSH GENETIC LINE ORIGIN
In the 60s, the West was totally immersed in a constant of economic, social and moral changes. Europe still licked the wounds of the Second World War and was looking for new references, values and freedoms. In the United States, especially in California, they were coming out of the Korean War when they were involved in another war miles from their country with which they did not feel identified. On the other hand, new ideas and the economy grew in parallel with new artistic expressions of art, literature and music. A whole set of parameters that would create the famous hippie era , where marijuana would become one of its main companions and symbols of identity to date.
At the same time, music and other arts began to arouse much interest in the culture of exotic countries such as India where consumption herbs and marijuana lived naturally and praised medical marijuana with effects of all kinds. With all this, in Amsterdam the so-called “The Magic Bus” arose, where young people and artists would travel Europe and Asia to India, crossing the famous Hindu Kush mountain range, which would make it a legend. Even the emblematic band The Who dedicated a song to the bus and to the most symbolic era of marijuana. On the other hand, the Kush marijuana variety in its pure state without crossing it was perfect for the extraction of resin and hashish derivatives. Native growers worked this type of cannabis plant to obtain different varieties, as they had observed for hundreds of years, for medicinal, profit and commercial purposes. As a result of all this, the Americans began to import samples and seeds of marijuana from the original crops of the Kush varieties and here they began one of the most interesting creations and genetic crosses of the most current marijuana. With Kush hybrids, there was a before and after for indoor growing. This genetic variety, with another type of resistance to climate and growth, allowed to shorten the flowering phase and produced abundant flowers , unlike the genetic lines they already had.

ZOMBIE KUSH marijuana seeds
Zombie Kush by Ripper Seeds In one of our early genetic search jobs, we selected An ancient Lavender Kush clone that was pollinated by our brilliant Amnesia Kush, carrying a high concentration of terpenes. From there a clone was selected that we baptized as "Sideral" and that later we decided to re-pollinate with our Bubba Kush. It has an exquisite earthy flavor with a citrus aroma and its effect is spectacular. If we want to develop the full potential of Zombie Kush marijuana seeds , their indica potential, their vegetative period must be generous. With a low EC in the growth phase and in the flowering phase we can obtain amazing results. For Kush lovers, these marijuana seeds become a essential piece. A whole delicatessen with lilac hues, aroma of pine, earth and citrus, and a large number of trichomes that cover its generously sized flowers.

Our creation Washing Machine comes from the crossing of the original UK Cheese clone, selected more than a decade ago by the “Exodous” collective, with a Bubba Kush clone that provides a great amount of trichomes and a very particular aroma of moist earth with sweet hints of licorice. Even the most experienced, we must catalog its effect as very powerful due to its combination of cannabinoids. Its vegetative period should not be very long since its powerful vigor means that, when flowering passes, our plant double its height. Outdoors and with good substrate we will have a leafy crop with a wide stem. Its flowering is very fast, between 60 and 65 days the flowers will already be at their optimum point. This variety is especially attractive for your collection with impressive bluish flowers and purple and its infinite white trichomes.
