Cataract Kush is a modern indica strain originating from OG Kush lineage. Established as a staple within the Kush lines of the early 2000s, it functions as an accessible cultivar for cultivators. The plant is noted for its ease of growth in both indoor and outdoor environments, maintaining a consistent flowering time of 60 days and providing a medium yield for those who manage its development cycles.

The terpene profile of this strain is complex and multi-layered, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene followed by myrcene, limonene, humulene, linalool, bisabolol, nerolidol, beta-pinene, pinene, geraniol, borneol, camphene, terpinolene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This chemical architecture creates a distinct sensory experience that reflects the balance of these aromatic compounds.

As a THC-dominant variety with 20.6% THC and 0.14% CBG, Cataract Kush is produced to provide effects characterized as relaxed and focused. These qualities make it a practical choice for consumers seeking relief from pain, stress, and sleep-related issues. Its genetic influence remains relevant in contemporary breeding, serving as a foundational parent for notable offspring such as Cataract 2.0, Space Kush, and Loudon #1.
