Space Kush is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar derived from the genetics of Cataract Kush. This strain has proven to be a prolific parent in the breeding community, serving as the foundation for a wide range of notable offspring including Abusive Angel, Angel Berries, Angel BX #2, Angel's Sunset, Beer Drinkin Breath Stinkin Sniffin Glue, Blood Sweat N Tears, Bob’s Chetter, Bones OG, C.B.D., El Veijo Del Norte, Icaris OG, and Mudbone. Cultivators can expect a flowering period of approximately 60 days, with the strain performing well in both indoor and outdoor environments while offering a high yield for those with moderate growing experience.
The chemical profile of Space Kush is defined by a complex range of terpenes, led by the dominance of caryophyllene followed by myrcene, limonene, humulene, and linalool. The sensory experience is further rounded out by the presence of bisabolol, nerolidol, beta-pinene, pinene, geraniol, borneol, camphene, terpinolene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse terpene arrangement provides the strain with its distinct aromatic and flavor characteristics, maintaining a consistent chemical signature defined by this specific hierarchy of volatile compounds.
As a THC-dominant variety, Space Kush produces effects described as relaxed, calm, and focused. These qualities make it a frequent choice for users seeking relief from symptoms of pain and stress, or those looking to improve sleep quality. Its established genetic utility and balanced therapeutic profile have solidified its role as a key contributor to the development of many subsequent hybrid varieties within the modern breeding landscape.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
