Silver Kush is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar derived from The OG #18. This strain is designed for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, requiring a moderate level of grower expertise to reach its potential. Those who cultivate this plant can expect a high yield following a flowering cycle of 63 days.
The terpene profile is headlined by terpinolene, followed in intensity by caryophyllene and nerolidol. This complex chemical architecture continues with a presence of myrcene, p-cymene, beta-pinene, and limonene, rounded out by smaller concentrations of humulene, pinene, linalool, camphene, alpha-terpinene, isopulegol, and gamma-terpinene. The resulting sensory experience is dictated by this specific volatile progression, which defines the strain’s distinct aromatic and flavor characteristics.
With a cannabinoid profile that is THC-dominant, testing at approximately 19.5% THC and 0.05% CBD, Silver Kush is sought out for its ability to foster creative, uplifted, and happy states of mind. It is effectively utilized in contexts that demand heightened creativity, social interaction, or focused attention. To date, there are no recorded offspring attributed to this specific genetic line.

Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
◈
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.

uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
