Grow facts come from the breeder first, then seed banks and strain databases. With 2 sources we show the range and the middle; with 3 or more, the range and the median, after leaving out values far from the rest. The breeder's own value is the anchor, unless it is far from every other source (outside their range and more than 20% from their median); then we show the full range and the median of all of them. A fact from a single source is marked "1 source", and a fact no source lists is left out. Yields are converted to one unit: indoor per square meter, outdoor per plant.

CTU writes every profile from these facts; we do not copy other sites' descriptions. Values that are a generic default in the source data are left out. Last checked Oct 21, 2026.

About Big Kush

Big Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain credited to Dinafem Seeds. Its listed lineage is OG Kush.

Public listings give Big Kush a THC level of 22.5%, which is on the strong end. Compared with all strains in our research dataset that have their own THC figure, it is higher than roughly 69% of them. Potency varies by grower, batch and lab, so read these numbers as typical values, not guarantees.

Big Kush aroma, flavor and terpenes

People most often describe the flavor of Big Kush as cheese, diesel, lemon and skunk. Its top listed terpenes are limonene (citrus), caryophyllene (peppery, spicy) and myrcene (earthy, musky).
