Flowerbomb Kush Feminized Hybrid – Strain Hunters
Flowerbomb Kush Feminized by Strain Hunters is one of the seedbank’s most exclusive and award-winning creations, absolute winner of the legendary 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup. This extraordinary hybrid stems from the cross between the overwhelming Green Crack and a superb OG Kush, resulting in a plant that encapsulates the very best of contemporary Californian genetics.
Despite its pronounced indica dominance, it develops a surprisingly slender structure, with a medium-long internodal space and a highly branched branch plane that stretches wide. It produces exceptionally large, irregular, tear-shaped calyxes (the classic foxtail of the best Kushes), which get covered in a resin so thick that the flowers literally look like they have “exploded” (hence the name Flowerbomb). It is the reference genetics for connoisseurs looking for an extremely complex terpene profile and a psychotropic potency that rivals the most renowned dispensary strains.
Flowerbomb Kush Feminized in brief
This aromatic “bomb” completes its flowering period in about 8-9 weeks (56-63 days). Indoors, under optimized setups, it guarantees solid, top-quality yields estimated between 400 and 500g/m². Outdoors or in greenhouses, it expresses great vigor, offering up to 500-600g per dried plant.
THC levels are high (around 20%), ensuring an immediate, euphoric, and then deeply relaxing impact. Post-switch vertical elongation is notable for an indica, doubling or tripling its height. The olfactory profile is a masterpiece: a pungent mix of damp earth, Afghan pine, hot spices, and a sweet fruity aftertaste of orange and flowers.

Cultural Management (Indoor and Outdoor)
Indoors, Flowerbomb Kush does not behave like the classic squat indica. Its prolonged stretch requires careful management of the vegetative plane. Applying the SCROG or super-cropping technique is essential to tame its vertical push and distribute the numerous lateral branches, maximizing light exposure for the apical zone. Nutrient absorption is moderate: it does not like excessively heavy mineral regimes. It is advisable not to exceed an EC of 1.6-1.7 at peak flowering, maintaining a VPD of 1.3-1.4 kPa.
Outdoors, this genetics develops an extensive root platform and creates true bushes. It responds beautifully to Mediterranean and temperate climates. The irregular and airy shape of its giant calyxes is an evolutionary advantage: it allows for excellent airflow within the dense aerial mass, guaranteeing an above-average resistance against botrytis during early autumn humidity. The use of bamboo stakes is highly recommended, as the long lateral branches tend to bend under the extreme weight of the flowers at the end of flowering.
Terpene Profile and Effect
The organoleptic bouquet of Flowerbomb Kush is a complex sensory experience that continually evolves. On the nose explodes a heavy, earthy base typical of OG Kush, soaked in pine needles, musk, and Afghan spices, immediately lifted by sweet, floral, and fruity (citrus) notes inherited from Green Crack.
The effect is renowned for its biphasic and overwhelming nature. It hits immediately with a fast, euphoric, creative, and almost electrifying cerebral high that stimulates laughter and sociability. After about half an hour, this peak slides inexorably toward a deep bodily muscle relaxation dominated by indica, melting physical tension, soothing stress, and promoting appetite. It is an extremely enjoyable variety from late afternoon onwards.
Strain Comparisons
Flowerbomb Kush vs Money Maker
Money Maker is a purely commercial indica, very fast, squat, and with a monstrous yield featuring strictly sedative effects. Flowerbomb Kush is slightly longer in flowering and more branched, offering a marginally lower yield but distinctly superior boutique terpene complexity and a much more euphoric and cerebral opening effect.
Flowerbomb Kush vs Afgooey
Afgooey is much shorter and more compact, ideal for SOG in small spaces, with an orange and earth flavor. Flowerbomb Kush responds with a wider internodal space, tear-shaped flowers, and an aroma dominated by the classic pungency of the “Kush family” enriched with floral nuances.
FAQ
Why does the plant stretch so much during flowering?
Although it is an indica-dominant hybrid, the powerful Green Crack heritage gives it a vigor and a post-switch stretch very close to that of a sativa. Plan to switch to 12/12 when the plant is about 1/3 of the desired final height.
Do the leaves turn dark at the end of the cycle?
Yes. With controlled nighttime temperature drops (below 18°C / 64°F) in the last two weeks, the leaves of Flowerbomb Kush take on marvelous dark red and black-purple hues that enhance the white of the resin.
Does it tolerate high fertilizer levels?
No. It is preferable to maintain a balanced, medium-intensity diet. An excess of nitrogen during flowering will slow down calyx density. A full 14-day root flush is mandatory to bring out the floral flavor.
