About Master Kush
A Dutch indica combining Hindu Kush structure with Skunk aroma.
Master Kush was developed in Amsterdam in the 1990s and has remained a consistent commercial line since.
It is notably tolerant of indoor conditions, which is a large part of why it persisted while flashier cultivars came and went.
