Kushberry strain guide
Kushberry is an indica from DNA Genetics, a cross of OG Kush and Blueberry. It's also sold as Kush Berry. People know it for a berry and earth smell and a relaxed, heavy feel that most save for the evening.
Where does Kushberry come from?
Kushberry comes from the seed company DNA Genetics. The breeder describes it as an OG Kush heirloom crossed with an Oregon line of Blueberry, and it's sold as seeds that lean about 70% indica.
That makes it a meeting of two well-known families: the fuel and earth of OG Kush and the sweet berry of Blueberry. Growers describe the plant as small and chunky, which fits its indica side. It has since been used as a parent for strains like Captain Crunch.
What does Kushberry smell and taste like?
Berry leads, with ripe blueberry over an earthy, kushy base. Some people pick up a little spice, and growers mention a lemony note from the OG side.
Its published terpene results put limonene first, followed by caryophyllene and linalool. Limonene brings a bit of citrus, caryophyllene a peppery bite and linalool a soft floral touch. The taste is often described as dessert-like, sweet berry on the inhale with earth on the finish.
Kushberry effects: what people report
Most reports describe Kushberry as calming: relaxed, sleepy and hungry, often with a happy or giggly mood early on. DNA Genetics calls it a balanced mix of head and body, but most people treat it as a night strain.
These are reports, not promises. Dry eyes, dry mouth and headache are the usual complaints, and a few people say they had too much when their tolerance was low.
How strong is Kushberry?
Kushberry has a reputation as one of DNA Genetics' stronger strains, but published numbers are scarce. The main strain listing puts it around 21% THC with little CBD, and the breeder only calls it high. Some people report batches near 29%.
Since figures vary so much, go by the THC and CBD on your batch's label and start small. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what to look for.
Buying Kushberry in Canada
Look for both spellings, Kushberry and Kush Berry, and don't mix it up with Blueberry Kush, which comes from the same pairing but from other breeders. Products called Kushberry OG are not always the same plant either.
If you find it, it's most likely to be dried flower or pre-rolls. Check the THC, CBD and packaging date on the label, since fresher flower keeps more of that berry smell.
Kushberry vs Blueberry
Blueberry is one of Kushberry's parents and a classic in its own right. Blueberry is all about sweet, true-to-name berry, while Kushberry adds earth, spice and a touch of lemon and fuel from OG Kush. Both get described as calm and often sleepy, but Kushberry has a reputation as the stronger of the two. If you want pure berry and a classic, go with Blueberry. If you like berry with a kush backbone, try Kushberry.
