Burmese Kush (BuKu): Earthy Calm from a Resilient Indica Hybrid
Burmese Kush, often called BuKu, is a classic indica-leaning hybrid that merges the strong physical effects of OG Kush with the unique structure and flavor of Burmese landrace genetics. Originally bred by TH Seeds, BuKu has stood the test of time for its calming high, compact flowering cycle, and robust resilience in various grow environments.
With its unmistakable earthy aroma and strong therapeutic presence, it’s a staple in old-school and modern hybrid breeding alike.
