Allkush, this versatile indica strain, is a special variety of the famous Kush cannabis strain that produces very resinous, powerful plants.
The Hash Queen
Allkush is steeped in plenty of Paradise Seeds history, as this plant is an upgrade from Sheherazade, one of the first strains from this seed bank. With a 75% indica content, this award-winning strain embodies the best Kush qualities, but also has an uplifting sativa element. The yields are around 450 g/m2 indoors and 800 g per plant outdoors.
This strain is a breeding mix of an Afghani Indica and a Southeast Asian Sativa. Her outstanding quality and reputation as a hash queen is due to her rich resin content and musky, sweet taste. Indoors it is ready to harvest after 56-60 days, outdoors this is the case in mid-October. How is she doing in the grow room? The Doc tested three Allkush seeds on his cultivation site.
Germination and growth phase
A week after the problem-free germination he reported: "They are all the same size and about 3 cm high, and a week later: "It is clear to see that they are Indica-dominant, with broad leaves, now about 5 cm high and equipped with three internodes."
After two weeks of growth under two TLC 150 lights, the three Allkush plants were transplanted into 11 liter pots and placed in the grow room together with the other varieties under two Plantastar 600 W lamps. The Doc: "The volume of the plants has doubled and the side shoots are also moving. The plants now have five internodes, they grow stocky and quite slowly, but strongly, the stems are starting to become woody. But growth now seems to be accelerated."
Four and a half weeks after germination, after 31 days, The Doc initiated flowering by reducing the light cycle from 18 to 12 hours daily. At this point, the plants were all about 30 cm high and had an astonishing number of 15 internodes, which resulted in an extremely compact, bushy stature densely covered with shoots.
The flowering phase
The flowering got going quickly, the female pre-flowers appeared early, which soon turned into real, full flowers. Two weeks after the initiation of flowering, The Doc could already see nice flower florets on the shoots, which became larger and larger over the following weeks and were covered with increasingly more resin glands.
The height growth continued significantly in the first five weeks of flowering, although to varying degrees. The three plants were approx. 55, 65 and 75 cm high after five weeks of flowering, but were still very compact and bushy, and had a lot of thick, rounded top colas on the main stem and the side shoots formed. The Doc was excited about the immense resin development and suspected that his three Allkush plants would end up being extremely resinous, far above average. The smell of the plants was already extremely sweet, spicy and penetrating.
After 42 days of flowering, The Doc reported: "It's a plant that produces hard nuggets and is super resinous. You can definitely smell it's a Kush. I think there's a lot going on in the next two weeks of flowering. As the upper leaves take the light and the lower leaves have no or next to no photosynthesis “To be able to do that, I thinned out the plants a bit so that the lower nuggets could also develop to their full size.” After 49 days of flowering, The Doc went into raptures: "The buds are getting harder and harder and incredibly resinous. The aroma is seductively sweet and intrusively cushy. I think another week and then it's time. Since the flower scars have now mostly turned brown and But the buds are swollen like fat.”
After 56 days of flowering, The Doc says: "Final flowering is definitely underway. I'll probably be able to harvest them in a day or two," and after 60 days: "I was able to complete the harvest of the three Allkush plants. Which was an extremely fat, mega-resinous thing, a hell of a lot of fat round tops. And a fierce one Aroma as you would expect from Kush strains. Very sweet and hashy. There were no male flowers on these feminized plants either. The three Allkush plants ultimately reached heights of approx. 65, 75 and 85 cm, so they actually turned out to be extremely compact, flat-growing plants.
Yield
Allkush After he had harvested the thick, resinous nuggets and gently dried them, as always with slight fermentation, they were weighed and resulted in the proud result of 330 grams, which of course made The Doc extremely satisfied.
The consumption test: smell, taste and effect
And the high – “Wow!”, to use a word from The Doc, Allkush gave him a top notch indica hammer with the most intense body stone effect that lasted a very long time.
But the slight sativa up high effect in his head described by Paradise Seeds also occurred, which just kept him from taking a comfortable nap and enabled him to finally take that glass of water from the table and drink it! Nevertheless, The Doc said that Allkush is probably more suitable for the evening time ("An excellent sleep aid," he found), but during the day it would be too depressing for the consumer with its enormous indica potency, at least if you have a day's mental or physical work to do.
The conclusion
The Doc had both thumbs up for Allkush, he is enthusiastic about this classic Kush variety, which also provided a lot of high-quality leaf material for hash production
