Strain Genetics
This powerful gem is a cross between Sweet Irish Kush and Jack The Ripper. To understand more about how its genetics make it such a good option, let’s delve a little deeper into each parent.
Sweet Irish Kush, also known as Sweet Kush is an Indica-dominant hybrid also created by TGA Genetics. It is a cross between popular strains Sweet Tooth and OG Kush. Its THC levels are moderate at 16 to 19%.
The high from Sweet Kush would be immediate, with a cerebral effect that is uplifting and mood-boosting, these qualities have can be seen in its child Mickey Kush. What follows this cerebral high is a mental buzz, leading onto a full-body high, leaving users in a slightly sedated state.
This is where a couch is handy with Sweet Irish Kush, as you’ll want to cozy right up and stay there for hours. This is a strain recommended for nighttime use as the comedown is likely to put anyone to sleep. We can clearly see the influence this parent has in Mickey Kush, especially with that energizing cerebral high.
Sweet Irish Kush carries an aroma of lemon, along with candy tones. Its taste has been compared to lemon drops, with a hint of peppery herbs on the exhale. These aromas and flavors are also evident in Mickey Kush.
On the other side of its lineage, we have Jack The Ripper (JTR). This is a Sativa-dominant hybrid that is said to have intense effects that can be visually stimulating, an aspect prominent in its child.
JTR also has a high THC content and a happy, euphoric high that is relaxing at the same time. Its taste is refreshing with tangy lemon and citrus and pine, along with a lemony zest aroma with a hint of spice and pine.
It’s clear that Mickey Kush has been created by obtaining the best genetics from both of its popular parents.

This fights inflammation, nausea, pain and is proven to be good for tumor treatment. Due to its success at fighting against inflammation, this makes CBG good for treating Chrohn’s disease and any inflammatory bowel diseases.
Strain Terpenes
Terpenes are natural chemical compounds and are responsible for making different strains of marijuana smell or taste different from others. Terpenes are also prominent in plants and herbs and can give off different effects.
For example, linalool is a terpene that is related to lavender, so it is likely that products with this terpene will make you feel more relaxed. The dominant terpene in this strain is said to be terpinolene. This terpene carries a fresh aroma and is prominent in lilac, nutmeg, and cumin.
