Kushberry
aka Kush Berry, Berry Kush, Kb
Kushberry is an award-winning indica-dominant hybrid from DNA Genetics, combining OG Kush and Blueberry genetics to create a deeply relaxing strain with 15-24% THC. This 2008 Spannabis Cup winner delivers a complex flavor profile of sweet berries, earthy kush, and citrus notes, powered by a terpene blend led by Limonene and Myrcene. Users experience euphoric mental uplift followed by profound body relaxation, making it ideal for evening use, pain management, and sleep support.
The Short Answer
What kind of high is Kushberry?
Linalool-led and sweet-berry on the palate, most often reported relaxed and picked for sleep & bedtime at night.
Terpenes decide how a strain feels — THC% only decides how strong the dose is. Here is the family, the chemistry behind it, and what people reach for it to do.
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that shape the character of a high. The blend a strain carries — not its THC percentage — is what makes one feel bright and social and another heavy and sleepy, which is why the top three are listed rather than just the leader.
Terpene percentages belong to the jar, not the strain. They move with harvest timing, drying, cure and shelf age — the lighter ones literally evaporate. What holds steady is which terpenes lead, so that is what we rank.

The Experience
Professor High Says...
In-depth strain breakdown from Professor High, our AI cannabis expert
As the Kushberry effects wash over me, I'm experiencing this fascinating two-phase journey that perfectly demonstrates the indica-dominant hybrid profile. Initially, there's this bright mental clarity—the Limonene working its mood-elevating magic—where thoughts feel organized and slightly euphoric, almost like viewing your consciousness through a pleasantly hazy filter. But what's really remarkable is how the Myrcene and Linalool synergy begins asserting itself about twenty minutes in, creating this warm, descending wave of physical relaxation that starts at the crown of my head and methodically works its way down through every muscle group. The Caryophyllene adds this subtle spicy warmth that seems to target areas of tension specifically. My limbs feel pleasantly weighted, almost as if gravity has increased by just the right amount to make movement feel optional rather than necessary. The berry sweetness lingers on my palate while my body melts into whatever surface is supporting me—this is textbook indica sedation with just enough cerebral engagement to keep things interesting before the inevitable peaceful sleepiness arrives.

THC% tells you how strong. Terpenes tell you how it feels.
THC percentage is a property of the product in your hand, not of the strain. It shifts with the batch, the grower, the harvest, and how the flower was cured and stored — the same strain can test several points apart from two different jars.
Treat the ranges below as market context for what to expect on a shelf — then read the actual label on the product you are buying, and use the terpene profile to judge how it will feel.

The long-form profile · ~3 min read
A Modern Cannabis Classic
Kushberry stands as one of the most celebrated indica-dominant hybrids in modern cannabis history, representing a masterful fusion between two legendary genetic lines. Bred by the renowned DNA Genetics in 2008, this strain combines the sedating power of OG Kush with the sweet, berry-forward profile of Blueberry to create an experience that's both deeply relaxing and remarkably flavorful. With THC levels ranging from 15-24% and minimal CBD content (typically under 2%), Kushberry delivers potent effects that have earned it multiple awards and a devoted following among cannabis connoisseurs worldwide.
🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage
The lineage of Kushberry tells the story of two cannabis dynasties meeting to create something exceptional. OG Kush, the legendary West Coast indica, contributes its characteristic euphoric headspace, earthy undertones, and powerful body effects. On the other side, Blueberry—specifically DJ Short's Oregon Blueberry cut—brings its signature sweet berry flavors, calming properties, and vibrant color potential. DNA Genetics' careful breeding work in the late 2000s resulted in a strain that captures approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa genetics, though some phenotypes lean even more heavily toward the indica side. This strain's development represented a significant achievement in cannabis breeding, winning the 1st Place Outdoor category at the 2008 Spannabis Cup shortly after its introduction.
👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics
Kushberry's aromatic complexity stems from its rich terpene profile, dominated by Limonene (0.69%), Beta Myrcene (0.58%), and Caryophyllene (0.4%), with supporting notes from Linalool (1%), Alpha Pinene (0.1%), Beta Pinene (0.08%), Humulene (0.05%), Bisabolol (0.07%), and Terpinolene (0.04%). The total terpene content reaches approximately 3%, creating a robust aromatic experience.
The Limonene dominance provides bright citrus notes and mood-elevating properties, while Myrcene delivers the classic earthy, musky undertones and sedating effects that define the indica experience. Caryophyllene adds spicy, peppery complexity alongside potential anti-inflammatory benefits. The Linalool content contributes floral notes and enhanced relaxation, creating a calming synergy with the other terpenes.
When you open a jar of Kushberry, you'll encounter a multi-layered aroma that begins with sweet berry notes reminiscent of fresh blueberries and blackberries, followed by earthy kush undertones, subtle citrus brightness, and woody pine accents. Some phenotypes reveal hints of caramel sweetness, diesel fuel, and floral complexity that make each encounter uniquely engaging.
👅 Flavor Experience
The flavor journey of Kushberry mirrors its aromatic complexity while adding new dimensions upon consumption. On the initial inhale, you'll taste pronounced sweet berry flavors—think ripe blueberries with hints of blackberry and strawberry—immediately coating your palate with fruit-forward richness. The mid-palate reveals earthy kush notes, subtle pine freshness, and occasional spicy or peppery accents from the Caryophyllene content.
The exhale and aftertaste showcase Kushberry's sophisticated profile, leaving lingering notes of sweet berries, earthy wood, and sometimes a touch of floral honey or caramel. The smoke is generally smooth and aromatic, with the fruity sweetness remaining present throughout the entire experience. Whether consumed through smoking, vaping, or concentrates, the flavor profile remains remarkably consistent and enjoyable.
🎯 Effects & Experience
Kushberry delivers a classic indica-dominant experience that begins with a gentle cerebral uplift before transitioning into profound body relaxation. The onset typically occurs within 5-10 minutes of consumption, starting with a wave of euphoria and mental clarity that elevates mood and can inspire creativity. You'll notice stress and anxiety melting away as positive thoughts emerge.
As the experience peaks (around 30-60 minutes in), the physical effects become dominant. A warm, heavy body sensation spreads from head to toe, releasing muscle tension and promoting deep relaxation. The sedating properties of Myrcene combine with the calming effects of Linalool to create a profoundly peaceful state. Many users report feeling
