Triangle Kush (I)
Strain Name: Triangle Kush
Type: Indica-Dominant Hybrid
Lineage: OG Kush (specific Florida cut, sometimes believed to be derived from Emerald Triangle strains)Introduction:
A staple of East Coast cannabis heritage, Triangle Kush takes its name from Florida's "Emerald Triangle" — the tri-city area of Jacksonville, Tampa, and Miami — where this heavy-hitting indica-dominant hybrid first earned its legend. Known for its sedating power and distinct kushy funk, Triangle Kush has earned the respect of veteran consumers while acting as a genetic cornerstone for powerhouse strains like Triangle Mints and Wedding Cake.
Appearance, Aroma, and Flavor:
Appearance: Chunky, dense buds wrapped in dark olive greens and rich purple hues, dusted with a thick coating of frosty trichomes. Orange pistils curl tightly through the calyxes like wildfire.
Aroma: Bold and skunky with loud earthy-pine notes layered with lemon zest, diesel, and a classic old-school Kush musk.
Flavor: Spicy kush and earthy lemon upfront, followed by lingering tones of fuel, sandalwood, and a slight floral sweetness on exhale. Best appreciated in glass for its complexity.
Effects:
Triangle Kush is a creeper. Within 10–15 minutes, a deep, body-centered relaxation begins to wrap around the limbs while a hazy, euphoric mental buzz calms the mind. This is a strain that can dissolve stress and anxiety but may tether you to the couch if dosage isn't respected.
