Stephen Hawking Kush
Overview
Stephen Hawking Kush strain is a cross between the Sin City Kush and CBD-rich Harle-Tsu. The strain is bred for high CBD content. It is a conceptual series strain of Alphakronik known as the Great Minds. The strain has more CBD genes than THC, making it ideal for relieving tension and pain. It also sustains productivity and focus.
Stephen Hawking Kush flowers show that this is an exceptional strain. The buds are medium-sized with a spherical shape and display a rugged structure, which is associated with pure Sativas. The leaves are fluffy with dusky olive green color with pink and orange pistils. Sometimes the leaves have a shade of purple and dark blue; the colors are seen when the pigments are agitated by cold weather when growing. The buds are covered by trichomes, giving the sticky feel when you touch.
The Stephen Hawking Kush hits quickly, producing the waves of relaxation which moves down the neck through the core and the limbs. The effects are followed by a progressive backing sense of well-being and finishes with a controlled euphoria. This strain may trigger free-associative thinking; the CBD to THC ratio may not induce cerebral mindset for serious analytical work. The low levels of THC make the strain ideal for a day with a clear mind, but it maintains a refreshing relief from pain or stress. The couch-lock is not common when the strain is taken moderately; this makes the THC ideal for daytime and nighttime use. The strain has both mental and physical effects; you can enjoy activities that require mind and body involvement like sex, hiking, and other exercises.
