Katsu

Katsu is a indica selection from the Hindu Kush line. Known for woody, earthy, mint aromatics.

Katsu (also circulated as Katsu Kush) is a indica selection bred out of the Hindu Kush genetic family. Photoperiod cuts typically finish flowering in 8–9 weeks (~56–63 days) under indoor or greenhouse lighting.

Aroma and flavor

Jars of Katsu are most often described as showing dry cedar and wood, earthy, soil-like depth, cool, refreshing mint and sweet, sugary notes. Chemotype data points to crisp, forest-like pinene, earthy, herbal myrcene and peppery beta-caryophyllene as the primary aromatic drivers, with batch-to-batch variation depending on cultivation and curing.

Reported effects

Consumers commonly report heavier evening drowsiness, physical relaxation and clear-headed task focus, making Katsu a frequent pick for evening unwinding or unhurried downtime. The most commonly noted downsides are dry mouth and dry eyes.
