Rishi Kush

Rishi Kush by Mandala Seeds is an indica/sativa hybrid that comes from the North of Indica, near the Hindu Kush region. This hybrid stands out due to the incredibly thick layer of trichomes that it’s capable of producing, even on the stems and large leaves. This strain is the perfect strain for those looking to make their own extracts, producing an amazing result similar to the charas hash made in these parts of the world, especially when it’s done manually. In as far as growing it, it’s pretty easy; this strain adapts well to most situations, dealing with pretty much any pruning or training method.

Growing Rishi Kush Indoors

In order to grow this strain indoors and obtain amazing results, you’ll need to grow 9-12 plants per square meter. If planting 9 specimens, you’ll need to use 11 L flowerpots and top the plant from the third node onwards. When growing 12 plants, use 7 L flowerpots and prune the lower branches at the start of the flowering period. When done correctly, you can harvest around 400-450 g from plants that shouldn’t grow over 1.2 m tall under a 600w HPS grow light. You can also use the SoG method; it develops a super-dense, large central stem, making it perfect for methods such as these. It’ll take around 65-70 days to fully flower.

Growing Rishi Kush Outdoors

Outdoors when grown under the sunlight, thanks to how amazing this plant is to adapting to different situations, it’s super easy to keep discreet by using a SCRoG trellis net or by topping the plant and training its branches out to the sides; you’ll be able to grow short, incredibly wide plants if done right. This allows you more control over the plant in general and it also makes it easier for you to catch any annoying insects or other issues. Plus, it also helps to make the branches much stronger, which helps them to withstand stronger winds, keeping your flowers safe. When grown in the ground, without topping or pruning, it can grow over 2 m tall, producing over 600 g per plant; remember, its buds end up covered in a super-thick layer of resin. In order to harvest this resin-monster, it should be ready to cut down between the end of September/mid-October.

Rishi Kush Strain Properties & Psychoactive Effects

If you’re looking for a strong strain that’ll couch-lock you after a few rounds, Rishi Kush might not be the strain for you, although hash made from this strain can be quite more intense than its flowers on their own. Its high is subtle and incredibly balanced, with a physically and mentally relaxing effect that’s incredibly lucid. It’s the perfect strain for daily use or for treating issues such as stress and anxiety. Its flavor is similar to OG Kush 100% Feminized – citric, minty and sweet in some cases.
