The Californian strain of cannabis known as Violet Kush is related to the more famous Purple Kush. She is a Purple Afghani x Hindu Kush hybrid cross with a trace of another mystery Indica strain.

Despite being an Indica-dominant hybrid, Violet Kush produces a strong head high and a profound body buzz. If you’re a fan of Kush strains, you won’t want to miss out on the calming, therapeutic feeling that her skunky aroma and herbal flavor deliver.

The genetic background includes Hindu Kush, Purple Afghani, and Ruderalis.

Growing Violet Kush Seeds

Almost everyone would agree that cultivating Violet Kush cannabis is an intermediate challenge. Like nearly every pure Indica strain, Violet Kush has a short, bushy form and grows close to the ground. This can make it challenging to grow in some outdoor settings.

If you want to plant it outside, you’ll need to do so in a spot where it gets plenty of direct sunlight so that its small, ground-hugging leaves can soak up some of the light. Find a place outside that is dry and protected from the elements, such as humidity and rain.

Although Violet Kush is naturally resistant to mold, pests, and powdery mildew, leaving this plant wet can cause serious issues. However, you won’t have to worry about pests because of the bitter flavor of this marijuana strain, which makes it unappealing to insects.

There is no need to set aside a large outdoor area to cultivate Violet Kush cannabis, making indoor cultivation the optimal choice.

Indoors, it’s also simple to maintain a constant temperature and avoid the elements, which is essential for VK’s health. Growing Violet Kush indoors with hydroponics can occasionally produce a rise in humidity that is bad for the plants. The use of hydroponics is possible, but it would necessitate the installation of supplementary equipment, such as a dehumidifier that runs continuously.

Outdoor-grown Violet Kush plants often finish blooming in late September, which is far earlier than the harvest time for most other marijuana strains. Outdoor yields usually are around 9 ounces per plant, whereas indoor yields average 15 ounces g/m2

The distinctive aroma of Violet Kush is that of earthy, sweet grapes, and the flavor is similar to that of a robust red wine. These buds have small, fuzzy, bright green, bright orange, and dark purple hairs and nuggets. These nugs have a frosty appearance because of the fine white trichomes and sticky, sweet resin.
