Despite the low THC of about 20%, it cliched second place in the 2009 High Times Cannabis Cup. It is one of the most common strains in Colorado and Oregon.
Vanilla Kush is considered a short to medium plant, typical of most Indica-dominant strains. The buds are light green in color and decorated by flecks of orange pistils. It has pointy nuggets with golden-tan trichomes. The shape of the nugs varies depending on the phenotype, but most are narrow and open.
Vanilla Kush is an easy-to-grow marijuana strain, a good choice for novice growers to gain experience in cannabis cultivation.
