Zombie Kush

Zombie Kush, also known as Zombie OG, is an award-winning hybrid created by mystery breeders. In a mystery fitting for a spooky thriller, the originators combined Blackberry with the famous California strain OG Kush.

Expect to indulge in that signature Kush stink of its heritage and inhale layers of pine, earth, and peppered florals. Its smoke has a similar peppery acridity with notes of citrus and earthiness — perfect for a witch’s brew (or bong, more likely). Pair this award-winning strain with an award-worthy night of horror movie binge-watching.

Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper is a hybrid with a pronounced sativa bend, but the onset eases into a slow wave. Most users find the high both powerfully euphoric and gently buoyant, without the telltale manic edge many sativas tend towards. If your low-key solution to a canceled Halloween bash is an intimate dance party, this is the strain for you.

Jack the Ripper was bred from a clone of Jack’s Cleaner and a male variation of Space Queen known as Space Dude. The resulting flowers are dense and resinous with a terpene profile rich in terpinolene and pinene. Anticipate measured notes of fruity funk and crisp pine on a velvety exhale.

Candy Kush

Candy Kush is, biologically, a balanced hybrid, but this strain can produce results on either side of the fulcrum depending on the how, where, and why of its consumption. One effect, however, seems ubiquitous despite the user’s disposition: legendary munchies. So whether you’re waking and baking or resting and ingesting, stock up your Halloween candy bucket before indulging in this strain.

Candy Kush is a mashup of OG Kush and Trainwreck — some phenotypes display a spicier sativa dominance, while others gently slant into a complacent indica. And the “Candy” designation refers to more than just expectable munchies, this strain terpene profile is loud with limonene and myrcene, a nuanced combination that’s lemon tart in the nose and candy-sweet on exhale.
