Grapefruit Kush

The Origin Story Nobody Asked For

Next Generation Seed Company birthed Grapefruit Kush in the early 2010s when someone asked, “What if we made a strain that smells like brunch but punches like bedtime?” The breeders took classic indica DNA (75% pure nap fuel), tossed in citrus-forward genetics, and slapped the word ‘Kush’ on it because marketing. Early testers said the aroma was “exceptionally refreshing,” which is breeder speak for “your whole apartment now smells like a Bath & Body Works candle.”
