Appearance
Bully Kush typically produces dense, compact buds resembling marbles or golf balls, with tightly curled sugar leaves. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, often obscuring the underlying deep green coloration, which can display midnight hues under cool temperatures. Pistils typically range from orange to copper.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The dominant terpenes commonly found in Bully Kush include myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene, contributing to its characteristic fuel, earth, and spice notes. Ancillary terpenes such as humulene and linalool may also be present. THC levels typically range from 15-25%, with CBD content below 1%.
Origins & Lineage
Bully Kush's exact lineage is not consistently documented across markets. It is often considered an indica-dominant derivative of OG Kush, with some growers noting potential influence from strains like Bubba Kush or Bullrider. The name 'Bully' is thought to refer to its potent, hard-hitting effects.
