About These Strains

Rockstar Kush

Indica 50/50 — THC 22–25%

Rockstar Kush, also commonly called “Rockstar OG” by medical patients, is an indica dominant hybrid (75% indica/25% sativa) strain created through a cross of the insanely potent Rockstar X Bubba Kush strains. This powerful bud has a well-balanced but extremely potent high that is powered by an intensely high THC level that typically falls between 22-25% on average.

The high starts with a feeling of uplifted euphoria with a hazy introspection that immediately relieves any feelings of anxiety or racing thoughts.

Rose Kush

Hybrid 50/50 — CBD 0–1%

Rose Kush is the parent of several popular hybrids, but by itself it's anything but common. Indeed, the THC content alone, topping 21% in some tests, is enough to set this sativa-dominant strain apart.

That chemical intensity means a potent head high with limited cerebral effects; it's clear-headed and energized, with a strong tingling sensation.
