Shiatsu Kush

Born on the subtropical island of Amami Oshima, Shiatsu Kush is the rare heirloom that BC Bud Depot propagated for the wider world, capturing a uniquely tranquil, body-loosening profile in seed form. Its parentage remains deliberately undisclosed—part of the strain’s mystique—but the smoke telegraphs deep Kush heritage: pine and vanilla glide over woody tones, with myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene leading the terpene chorus. Typically testing around 18–22% THC with trace CBD near 0.3%, Shiatsu Kush settles in as a serene, clear, and contented high—relaxed first, then quietly happy and drowsy as the session deepens. In the garden it behaves like a compact, bushy photoperiod hybrid (about 70% indica, 30% sativa), stacking dense, resin-frosted colas. Indoors, expect a straightforward run and a fast turnaround: most phenotypes finish in 50–60 days and reward attentive growers with roughly 350 g/m2; outdoors, well-fed plants can push 450–550 g each by early to mid-October in temperate zones. The cultivar’s story includes a nod from High Times’ Top 10 Strains of 2012, a testament to its exotic origin and effortless charm. Whether admired in the jar or trimmed on the tray, Shiatsu Kush looks, smells, and carries itself like calm made visible.
