Kush Of Ra by Kuntry Greenthumb
Afghan × OG Kush × Kush
Kush of Ra is a mostly indica cannabis cultivar developed by Kuntry Greenthumb, evoking a sun-warmed, resin-heavy Kush with classic Afghan lineage. It is known for its dense buds and a soothing, body-forward finish, making it a popular choice for evening relaxation.
Appearance & Structure
Kush of Ra typically presents as a compact plant with broad, dark green leaves and short internodes, indicative of its indica heritage. The buds are dense and resinous, often displaying a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Some phenotypes may show purple accents under cooler temperatures, adding visual complexity to the frosty trichome coverage.
The structure is manageable, with indoor plants averaging 24 to 40 inches without extensive training. Its dense flowers require good airflow to prevent issues, especially late in the bloom cycle. The plant's appearance suggests a lineage optimized for resin production.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Kush of Ra is characterized by earthy base notes, complemented by gassy overtones and a bright citrus-incense lift. Upon grinding, a sharper diesel component emerges alongside a sweet, resinous scent. The overall bouquet is often described as a blend of earthy, gassy, and citrus-peel notes with a layered, incense-like complexity.
Flavors reported include citrus, cream, diesel, earthy, herbal, lemon, orange, and pine. During the cure, the aroma can evolve into a more integrated incense-resin harmony, with some experiencing creamy kush notes and deeper sandalwood or hashish undertones after extended curing periods.
Effects
Kush of Ra is generally considered an evening-friendly strain, delivering a heavy, soothing, and body-forward experience. Its effects are often associated with promoting relaxation, potentially increasing appetite, and supporting sleep hygiene.
While some high-tolerance users might find it manageable for daytime microdosing with caution, its potency and sedative terpenes typically steer consumers toward twilight or nighttime use. It serves as a reliable option for winding down after a long day.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab-verified cannabinoid and terpene percentages for Kush of Ra are not widely published, its profile aligns with modern Kush varieties. It is understood to be THC-dominant, with CBD levels below 1%.
The terpene profile is anticipated to include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, and Humulene. These compounds contribute to the strain's characteristic earthy, gassy, citrus, and spicy incense aromas and flavors, and are often linked to its relaxing and sedative effects.
Growing Information
Kush of Ra is described as a true indica-dominant Kush in cultivation, preferring moderate temperatures, high light intensity, and low-to-moderate humidity during flowering. Its dense buds necessitate good airflow and proactive management to prevent issues, particularly in the final weeks of bloom.
The strain typically has a flowering period of 8 to 9 weeks indoors, finishing in late September to early October outdoors in temperate climates. It offers consistent yields for growers who manage its environmental needs and nutrition effectively, rewarding them with frosty, aromatic colas.
Origins & Lineage
Kush of Ra was developed by the breeder Kuntry Greenthumb, who selected and stabilized a predominantly indica phenotype consistent with Kush heritage. The breeder's name suggests a focus on Kush genetics and a meticulous approach.
While the exact parental cross remains undisclosed, the strain's characteristics strongly align with classic Afghan and OG-style Kush pedigrees, known for producing resin-heavy, stout cultivars. Its name, referencing the Egyptian sun deity Ra, hints at a warm, gold-toned resin and a desert-born lineage.
