Advanced Nutrients Kushie Kush

Advanced Nutrients Kushie Kush® is a bloom-phase bud bulker formulated specifically for kush and OG strains. Unlike generic PK boosters that lean heavily on phosphorus, Kushie Kush uses a kush-specific phosphorus-to-potassium ratio — with slightly more potassium — to match what kush genetics actually demand during flower. The result is denser, heavier buds without the nutrient imbalance that comes from one-size-fits-all bloom boosters.

Why Choose Kushie Kush

Kushie Kush was developed after Advanced Nutrients researchers identified that kush strains have distinct phosphorus and potassium requirements during the flowering phase that differ from other cannabis genetics. Here is what sets this product apart from standard bloom boosters:

• Strain-specific PK ratio: The formula uses a kush-specific PK spike rather than a generic bloom booster ratio. Kush genetics respond better to slightly elevated potassium relative to phosphorus during the bulk phase, and Kushie Kush is calibrated to that need.
• Avoids phosphorus overload: Generic bloom boosters often apply more phosphorus than kush plants can efficiently use, which can trigger nutrient lockout and reduce uptake of other elements. Kushie Kush’s potassium-forward balance reduces that risk.
• Bud bulking focus: This product is positioned specifically for fattening buds during the mid-to-late flower window — not for vegetative growth or early bloom triggering. If you are running a kush or OG strain and want denser finished flowers, that is its intended use case.
• Backed by Advanced Nutrients R&D: Advanced Nutrients has built its product line around strain-targeted and pH-buffered formulas. Kushie Kush follows that same development philosophy, applying years of kush-specific research to a single-purpose additive.

Best Uses for Kushie Kush

Kushie Kush is a flowering-stage additive intended for growers running kush or OG cultivars. It fits into the bloom phase of a nutrient program as a PK supplement, not a base nutrient. Consider pairing it with a root-zone or microbial product like Advanced Nutrients Tarantula during the transition from vegetative growth to support a healthy flowering environment.

• Kush and OG strain cultivation: Designed specifically for these genetics. Growers running Hindu Kush, OG Kush, Bubba Kush, or similar OG-lineage cultivars will see the most relevant results, as the PK ratio targets how those plants metabolize nutrients in flower.
• Mid-to-late bloom phase: Best applied during the bud development and bulking windows when the plant is actively depositing floral mass. Not intended for the earliest bloom trigger phase or the final flush period.
• Hydroponic and soilless systems: Works in recirculating DWC, NFT, drain-to-waste coco, and comparable systems where nutrient delivery is precise and pH-managed. Also compatible with amended soil grows where the grower controls supplemental feeding.
• Supplemental use alongside a base nutrient line: Kushie Kush is an additive, not a standalone base feed. Use it on top of a complete two- or three-part nutrient program that already covers nitrogen, calcium, and micronutrients.
• Commercial and hobby kush cultivation: Applicable to both small-scale personal grows and larger commercial operations running kush genetics at scale, wherever precise PK supplementation during flower is part of the protocol.

Dosing Guidelines

Kushie Kush is a concentrated liquid supplement. Use the following general approach when incorporating it into a nutrient schedule. Always verify current recommended rates against the Advanced Nutrients feed chart for your specific base nutrient system, as optimal dose may vary by base line and growth stage.

1. Shake or stir the concentrate thoroughly before measuring a dose. Settled concentrate can affect nutrient ratios if not remixed.
2. Measure the recommended dose per litre or gallon using a calibrated syringe or measuring cup. Do not estimate by eye with concentrated additives.
3. Add Kushie Kush to your reservoir or mix tank after first adding your base nutrients and adjusting water pH to the 5.8–6.2 range (for hydroponics) or 6.0–6.5 (for soil and coco).
4. Mix thoroughly and then check EC to confirm the combined solution is within your target range for the flowering stage. Kushie Kush will raise EC, so account for it when dialing in your overall nutrient load.
5. Monitor plant response over 5–7 days. If leaves show signs of nutrient excess (tip burn, curling) reduce dose slightly. If plants show normal uptake and bud development continues on track, maintain the dose through the bulking window.
6. Discontinue use during the final flush period (typically the last 7–14 days before harvest) and feed plain pH-adjusted water or a dedicated flush product to clear the root zone.

For a complementary root and microbial support product that pairs well with bloom-phase additives, see Advanced Nutrients Tarantula, which supports root zone health through the full crop cycle.
