About Platinum Kush
Tracing its lineage to the heavyweights OG Kush and Afghani, this 90% indica-dominant variety is a staple for those seeking deep relaxation. The version offered by an unknown breeder typically reaches a medium height indoors and presents a moderate difficulty for growers. It flowers quickly in about 7 to 8 weeks, producing indoor yields of 400 to 500 g/m². With a THC level of 21%, it is known for inducing a sleepy, happy, and euphoric state, often accompanied by a significant increase in hunger. Its terpene profile includes caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene, and terpinolene, which create an earthy and sweet flavor. These characteristics make it a common selection for addressing insomnia, stress, and lack of appetite. The physical weight of its Afghani roots is balanced by the euphoric lift of its OG Kush heritage, resulting in a classic indica experience that is both potent and physically soothing.
