what is the origin of pure kush?

[muddy waters]

according to wikipedia the term "kush" does in fact originate in northern california and it refers to a specific type of cannabis originally bred in holland where there is a long-running tradition of breeding cannabis for seeds which are then sold worldwide under hyped names for inflated prices.

i have no idea what all this shit about afghanistan is about. anyway everyone knows hindus are from india not afghanistan so i assume the whole hindu kush thing is just a lie spread by terrorists who hate america. if you really want the whole story, just read what sensi seeds says in their catalog. or ask at any california dispensary selling clones of pure kush. they'll tell you the truth about this plant-- it's a highland dutch from the wellknown genus canabis indica.

In the late 1970's/80's, during the soviet occupation of Afghanistan, two Dutchmen rode around the Hindu Kush, on a white horse, in search of cannabis seeds. This part is fact!

Whether or not one of the gentlemen was Mr Dronkers remains to be established

That must be where the Granddaddy Purple bit comes in, Doc. Ben Dronkers is Granddaddy Purple and Granddaddy Purple Kush is his personal strain. Right?

The medical marijuana dispensarys only add to the misinformation. The truth is they usally dont even know what they are selling. They just make up names or use a popular name for whatever they sell. Melon kush, sunset kush, super bubba, xxxOG, cranberry kush, mars kush, pussy kush...etc etc. They call BBcheese sour apple, skunk#1 candy skunk, granddaddy is purple pyramid, OG kush jupiter kush. Some herb is labeled correctly but most of it is not. See for yourself at http://weedtracker.com/ .

My other main beef with socal medical dispensarys is their prices. All mid to high grade herb is 25$ per gram and 75-65$ per 3.5g. This seems overpriced for medication that cannot be paided for with health insurance. I have even seen 3.5g for 100$! I advise patients to grow their own medicine. Its a shame we arent protected from federal law.

Yeah that's right the Oude Zijds Voorburgwal Group "Mastered" Kush... lol

 

[zamalito]

Sounds like I need a white horse to ride around coombia looking for seeds, lol. The Paras and Farc would just be too busy laughing to try and kidnap me.

DDanko doesn't,generally,know jackshit.
Being the 'cultivation editor' for high crimes doesn't make you an expert,in fact,his recent posts concerning Chemdog Family Lines and True Kushes showed how ignorant he is on the subject of breeding.
He thought he did me some huge solid by getting the KKSC cut to me,but he forgets that in return,he got The Sour Diesel Clone,which,as HT cultivation editor,he couldn't even get his hands on,in the middle of NYC,unless he had the ten G's they charged,at the time,for a cut.
I got it to him for free.
(You're welcome,ya fuckin' ingrate.
Oh,how soon they rush to whine,especially since I pissed a rainstorm on their (again) half-assed 2006 HTCC with my reporting.
So,there you have it,a True Assesment: Danko doesn't know shit,and all the celebrity smokeouts and glossy pics of ramps in Amsterdam won't change that.
Like apples,Danny?
How ya like them apples?


Cheers!

You are truly a sad man Mr. Rez Dog. Why would I want your watered down "Sour D" clone? We've got the real deal here in NYC from the people who actually are responsible for it. Never wanted it -Never asked for it -never got it (from you). I don't pay for cuts or seeds fool.

It wasn't some huge "solid" by the way to get you KKSC. All you were able to do was cross it with your SD and put it out just a couple of months after I got it to you. Completely untested for $110 a pack. Some samaritan. Some "breeder". If that's not pollen chucking, I don't know what is.

Like I said, it wasn't a big deal to get you the strain. I just thought you would actually do some real work with it instead of just working it into your tired Diesel. I simply regretted getting it to you cause I think you're a douche.

Crossing Chem with Kush isn't wise breeding. As a "breeder", you should know this. Unless the Kush you have ain't the real deal.

Talk about ingrate. When I picked ECSD for Top Strain of the Year in '05, you were gushing all over HT talking about advertizing, sending photos and such. Now it's "High Crimes". What a joke you are. All the sycophants and hanger's on in the world can't change that.

I love how you say you reported on the 2006 Cup. You weren't even there. Some reporting. Secondhand BS from other disgruntled idiots who weren't there either is considered reporting these days huh?

Rez, I seriously think you need to get help for your anger issues. The rants are getting so tired and ridiculous. You're as unstable as your untested crosses.

Anyway, whatever dude. You've shown your true colors so many times it's getting redundant and I don't have time to waste on closet hacks like you anyway. Keep your adoring masses clamoring for free seeds and untested BS hybrids supposedly for "charity" and leave me out of it. I'm busy talking to real breeders around the world who laugh their asses off at your diatribes.

Hmmm ok now that we've got that sorted out....he's obviously from Cali, talking about club cuts.

Yeah by the way he was asking about the "Pure Kush" clone only Which obviously no one knows anything about because this thread has become a dick slinging rant on everything but the clone.

 

[DocLeaf]

Contact Todd @ Select Strains, California.
They service many clone clubs with original clones .

All the best

[dwtc]

It wasn't some huge "solid" by the way to get you KKSC. That strain goes out to almost anyone that asks, for free, with no conditions.

so wheres mine at

 

[Danny Danko]

dwtc, check your pm's.

DocLeaf, I understand your concerns to get this thread back on topic and apologize for not helping with that. Rez called me out by name and I felt I had to respond. Can't post it in his forum - he'll just delete it. Truth is, he chose to post that diatribe about me because I called him out on the "Breeding with Chemdog" situation. All that's deleted now too.

Addendum:
Come to think of it, a friend did get a Sour D clone through Rez a while back. I apologize for saying it didn't happen. It was so weak and infested with spidermites that it was deemed unworthy of rehabilitation and scrapped for compost. When there's Chemdog, Snowdog, Mass Skunk and real NYCD moms about, who needs that kind of hassle? I wish I had a picture of it to show because I think most people wouldn't be too grateful for a "gift" like that. It's enough trouble to keep a garden mite-free, who would want to willingly introduce them, even in a quarantine type situation? Too much risk, not nearly enough benefit.

Sorry and on with the thread, "What is the origin of pure Kush?"

 

[Raco]

I have some Pine Tar Kush,which IMO is a pure Kush...isn´t it??

 

[wick650]

the L.A pure kush is exactly like Bubba, but with the incense undertones of bubba expressed more intensely... I think it has a little bit more pine in the smell/flavor as well. Most people assume the PK is Bubba @ first appearance.

Pure Kush is more forgiving to stress than Bubba IMO.. People have said its L.A Master Kush x L.A Master Kush, but the lineage is not popularly known. PK is as good if not better than Bubba Kush in my personal opinon, but of course everyones tastes are different.

 

[mikey-GS-]

hmmm,

has any 1 here ever heard of BE-REALS KUSH(aka be real from cypress hill)
cause there suppose a story behind this cutt??ans how it made its way into peoples hands?

anyway the be-reals is alomost excatly like the PURE KUSH, weve been running this strain for bout 3 years now and its PURE kush tasting. at first we speculated that it was BUBBA, then i thought it was bubba 99, but after long debate(2yrs)
we have finally agreed that there is "no" BUBBA in there at all...

its PURE like pure kush, pure lemony goodness of kush denso buds.......
i just wondered if maybe this is the PURE KUSH?? ,or something different

thanks all

 

[wick650]

-Mikey G.S

Does your pure kush grow like bubba?

 

[indicalover]

Wouldn't it be accurate to say in this day in age there are two types of Kush?

The folks from Cali have a lot things they call Kush i.e. OG Kush, Bubba Kush and etc. These strains may have some kush in them but are not pure kush if you are talking about a kush that comes from the hindu kush mountain range.

Then you have pure kush strains that come directly from the hindu kush mountain range. It seems like a destinction should be made when discussing Kush strains. I am not knocking the Cali Kush strains, but these are two different things from what I have read and understand.

 

[REZDOG]

Keep whining Danny,it makes you look so mature. :smile:
If you had any clue at all,you wouldn't have said that "a Kush outcross into the Chemdog Family is unwise."
Actually,it's the absolute best choice that could be made,for many different reasons,but since I'm a breeder,and you're not,I wouldn't expect you to understand....
Nor will I explain myself to you-happily,your lack of comprehension isn't my problem,it's yours.
Hopefully your posts got you a reach-around at the HT water cooler,they sure didn't make any waves around here.

Ciao!

The LA Pure Kush is more like OG than Bubba. i almost think it is OG.

Top Shelf?

 

[mikey-GS-]

wick650,

no, different leafe structure, more sparatic nodes,leafs are a bit lighter in color in veg.in veg some leafes look more sativa, as its gets bigger they get fatty and darker..

other than that it does veg kinda slow, faster than my bubbas thou
great lemony goodness, no bubba taste what so ever..

 

[zamalito]

That was my point 100% indicaluvr but you said it much better. I think anything with a deep flavor and is passed as an "elite cutting" at cali med clubs because the creator is either too ashamed or greedy to say what the strain's actual pedigree is a cali kush.

Whereas anything that is an unhybridized landrace from the hindu kush or a cross where the pedigree consists solely of unhybridized landraces of the hindu kush mtns is also a kush but in the truest sense.
Then there's hybrids which have some but not all parentage consisting of hindu kush genetics but the phenotype is predominantly that of a hindu kush variety. This could also be called a kush.

There's also a terminology that seems to be used increasingly. It refers to anything that is close to being a pure sativa as a "haze" and anything which is close to being a pure indica as a "kush".
