Origin
Pink Kush is not a documented cross; it is a selection of OG Kush, stabilized for its vanilla aroma and its color. Some sources call the mother clone Pink Kush and some just call it OG Kush, but the lineage past that is guesswork. It has one descendant on file. What a buyer gets is essentially a boutique OG Kush with a candy nose.

About
Pink Kush is really a selected, stabilized cut of OG Kush.
It is not a documented cross but an OG Kush line picked for its vanilla-candy flavor and its color. The first phase is a sweet, dreamy lift, then a very heavy body relaxation. It is a Pacific Northwest and Canadian staple.
Sweet up, then heavy.
What to Expect
Pink Kush opens with a sweet, dreamy euphoria, then sinks into a deep, heavy body relaxation that most reviewers rank near the ceiling. Leafly's reviewers lead with relaxed at 74 percent of a solid sample, with its closest set in agreement. Sleepiness is close behind. The back half is the whole point.
Dry mouth is the standout negative, near 30 percent and matched in the weighted data, with dry eyes at 15 and little else. Keep the dose moderate late in the day. This is a night strain.
Flavor and Aroma
Pink Kush smells sweet, mostly of vanilla. The flavor is fuller: candied vanilla on the inhale, then a floral, berry bouquet with a candy sweetness. It is a genuine dessert profile, closer to confectionery than to Kush fuel.
Terpenes Explained
Pink Kush has no measured terpene data, and only Humulene, Myrcene and Terpinolene are named.
Nothing is quantified, so the vanilla and candy notes cannot be tied to a compound; they come from lighter aromatic compounds a standard panel does not report anyway. A jar that genuinely smells of sweet vanilla, not just generic sweetness, is the well-kept one.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Pink Kush THC is reported around 20 percent, with no clean lab sample in our data. Sources are consistent that the body effect is stronger than the number suggests. CBD is a trace, with a CBN reading around one percent.
Pink Kush tests near 20 percent but plays like a heavier strain, so treat it as strong and keep it for the evening.
