8 Ball Kush Seeds

8-Ball Kush: A Kushy Indica

8-Ball Kush seeds grow into medium-height plants that don’t grow taller than 4 feet. The plants are almost completely green and feature long buds and long leaves. If you were to clip the leaves off of this plant, you would be left with the classic marijuana leaf that has five points. The buds are lightly dusted in crystal resin trichomes and have white and yellow pistils growing out of the crown of the bud sites. In some light the plants may look purple, but that is due to the trichomes changing the color to the naked eye. When you harvest the nuggets, you are left with large and dense, and hard to break up with your fingers, so have your weed grinders at the ready. This versatile and potent strain has not won any major cannabis awards to date, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t popular. Growers love this strain because of how well it grows with minimal maintenance, while users love the strain’s taste and potent effects. 8-Ball Kush has tons of positive reviews online which makes their seeds highly sought-after.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Intermediate growers should have no trouble bringing this strain to fruition. It takes a little effort and attention, and prior experience to really get this strain growing in the right direction. The strain does not require super hot climates to grow completely. A lighter temperature at night will still help this strain grow. Warm, sunny climates are your best bet for growing massive buds of potent weed. It grows well indoors and outdoors, especially in a greenhouse setup where climate and environmental factors can be controlled by the grower. Growing this strain to completion will change the way you approach growing your own cannabis in a good way.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: 8-Ball Kush marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The plant grows great in warm and dry conditions, so plan accordingly. The desired temperature for this strain is between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit. 18-24 hours of light during the vegetative state and 12 hours of darkness during the flowering stage will help this plant grow big and strong. Outdoor grows should provide long hours of direct sunlight and a dry climate to increase yields.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 40-50% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 40% or lower during the flowering stage. This change in humidity will help keep mold off of your plants.
• Training Techniques: Low-stress training(LST) is the best method when growing this strain. This method will ultimately increase yields by allowing light to break through the canopy and hit every level of the plant. This creates an even grow of bigger buds.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the 8-Ball Kush strain to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days. Outdoor growers should be ready for harvest sometime near the middle of October, depending on when you planted your seeds.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 600 grams per plant. Given the time and effort it takes to bring this strain to harvest, these yield numbers are great. If you can harvest these kinds of numbers growing this strain for the first time you should be happy with the buds you have after the grow.

Dominant Terpenes in 8-Ball Kush: Sweet Pine

The 8-Ball Kush terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while pinene and caryophyllene are secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – The “Mother of all Terpenes”, myrcene has an earthy and woodsy aroma and flavor to it.
• Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Found in pine needles and conifer trees, this terpene is responsible for the earthy, woody, and pine-like flavors in cannabis.
• Caryophyllene: Spicy and Peppery –  Found in cinnamon and black pepper, this terpene adds a bit of spice to the cannabis plant.

Dominant Cannabinoids in 8-Ball Kush:

Cannabinoids play an important role in 8-Ball Kush seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That happy, relaxed, and creative feeling you get when enjoying the 8-Ball Kush strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 22%, the THC in this 100% Indica strain is responsible for the happy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying 8-Ball Kush cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in 8-Ball Kush are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the 8-Ball Kush strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
