All About Triangle Kush

The Triangle Kush story begins in South Florida, where a young grower origins_tk_og accidentally crossed an Emerald Triangle female with pollen from a Hindu Kush plant.

According to the grower, the Hindu Kush seeds that eventually pollinated the Emerald Triangle plants came from Nevil Schoenmakers Seed Bank in Amsterdam. Origins_tk_og smuggled these seeds back to the US in 1989, and two years later he germinated those seeds and introduced the plants into his 12-light room once they were confirmed to be female plants. One of those Hindu kush plants hermaphrodited and pollinated the room of Emerald Triangle plants.

The resulting seeds went on to play a significant role in shaping the landscape of cannabis genetics in the United States. One of the seeds eventually became Triangle Kush while another became the OG Kush.

Triangle Kush is a primarily indica strain of cannabis, being around 85% indica and 15% sativa. Its origins are a bit ambiguous and it is generally thought that it is a descendant of the OG Kush strain, which is a Florida favorite.

If you are wishing to grow some of your own Triangle Kush, you may need a bit of experience with growing cannabis, as this is not a typically easy strain that is suitable for beginners. Since it is an indica-dominant strain, however, it can hold up to weather changes and harsher conditions, so that is a plus. If you are going to be growing Triangle Kush indoors, it’s going to require a lot of work and upkeep.

The environment should be pretty warm and rich in carbon dioxide. The temperature should not go above 88 degrees Fahrenheit, despite how warm it should be kept. You also need to clip the plants, because they can grow to be pretty tall as well. It usually takes about 10 to 12 weeks to start seeing flowers on the plant and for buds to form. With all this work, however, it still does not yield very much bud per square meter – only about 10 oz of bud can be expected from each square meter of plant. But many think that it is well worth it considering the nice high and unique flavor of the strain.

If growing outdoors, it may be a little less work and more easy to grow Triangle Kush. As long as you have a dry and hot climate, Triangle Kush should start to blossom by late October. It produces about 10 to 12 oz of bud per plant. So depending on your situation and if you have the proper environment to grow Triangle Kush, you can do it outdoors much more easily. But if you are limited to indoors, a little extra work will be required, but it can still be done. Triangle Kush strain seeds are available from some niche growers or breeders as well as from some online retailers.
