OG Kush – OG Kush Strain ( OG Strains )

OG Kush strain, also known as “Premium OG Kush,” or OG Strains was first cultivated in Florida in the early ‘90s when a marijuana strain from Northern California was supposedly crossed with ChemdawgLemon Thai and a Hindu Kush plant from Amsterdam. The result was a hybrid with a unique terpene profile that boasts a complex aroma with notes of fuel, skunk, and spice. OG often refers to “Original Gangster,” indicating either the strain’s authenticity or intensity.  OG Kush strain should smell like lemon-pine-fuel with a high-THC, mixed head and body effect. It’s often enjoyed in the back half of the day to ease stress.

The genetic backbone of West Coast cannabis varieties, OG Kush arrived in Los Angeles in 1996 when Matt “Bubba” Berger brought it (along with “The Bubba,” which was later used to create the famed Bubba Kush) from Florida to legendary cultivator Josh D. Since then, OG Kush strain has become a worldwide staple used to create numerous famous strains like GSC and Headband. There are many different phenotypes of OG Kush weed, including Tahoe OGSFV OG, and Ghost OG.

Kush generally refers to a pure or hybrid Cannabis indica strain. Pure C. indica strains include Afghan Kush, Hindu Kush, Green Kush, and Purple Kush. Hybrid strains of C. indica include Blueberry Kush and Golden Jamaican Kush. The term “kush” is now also used as a slang word for cannabis.

About OG Kush

OG Kush is sometimes known as “Premium OG Kush” or even just “Kush,” first cultivated in Florida almost 30 years ago now. The original genetic lineage is not 100% known, but researchers believe that ChemdawgHindu Kush, and Lemon Thai  were mixed with an unknown Northern Californian strain to make OG Kush. The secrecy is probably due to the strain’s incredible fame – OG Kush is the single most recognizable and widely-used strain when it comes to medical marijuana. With a nearly balanced composition (55% Sativa, 45% Indica) and mid-high THC levels, it’s no wonder the strain is enjoyed around the world.

This strain is the origin of the word, “OG,” used in many other cannabis strains over the years. Some believe that “OG” homages “Original Gangster,” an even older strain, though others tell other stories. The plant itself is hardy and resinous, growing in chunky buds, dark green and shaped like grapes. Its pistils are bright orange, thin, and overlong. Its trichomes are like white gold, tiny, sparkling, and covered in shiny resin. OG Kush flowers in around 8 to 9 weeks, producing 17 oz of weed per square meter of indoor garden. The strain grows well outdoors too.

GROWING TIPS: We recommend a hydroponics setup when growing OG Kush indoors. This is because OG Kush is not a hardy plant when grown in normal soil and is prone to many diseases. But if you don’t have any hydroponics experience, we recommend non-soil growing mediums to encourage OG Kush’s healthy growth and discourage diseases. These include rockwool and clay pellets.

OG Strain primary terpenes are Beta-Myrcene and Beta-Caryophyllene, which give the strain its overwhelmingly earthy, spicy palette. Sour citrus and woody flavors peek in on the exhale, with hints of pine and other dank Kush flavors. The high starts pretty quickly, giving you a feeling of rushing sociability, chattiness, hunger, and a case of the giggles. You’ll be munching on food constantly, looking for anyone to talk to, and feeling completely relaxed the whole time. As the most famous cannabis strain out there, you can expect the most stereotypical high.

The strain is often used in social situations, to jumpstart a stubborn appetite, to relax out of a mood swing, to dispel a bout of depression, or evaporate a tiring headache. We recommend this strain for afternoon use on do-nothing days and as a companion with a bunch of friends (and plenty of snacks). You don’t become the most famous cannabis on accident – OG Kush, even against stiffer competition today, still earns its name.

OG Kush Strain

OG Kush is a world-famous strain first propagated by Matt Berger in Florida. The strain was later popularized after Josh Del Rosso, aka JoshD, was able to perfect the growing conditions and introduce the variety into the Los Angeles market. JoshD Farms reports OG Kush users can expect long-lasting, heavy, yet versatile euphoria and skunky-citrus flavor and aroma. The company is now focused exclusively on developing OG Kush-derived strains and products.

JoshD Farms reports an average THC content of 20% from OG Kush, with some indoor grows testing as high as 26%. Myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene are the dominant terpenes of the strain. According to JoshD Farms, phenotypes and offspring that honor OG Kush’s signature effect and flavor profile include Kosher Kush, Triangle Kush, Skywalker OG, and Loompa’s Headband.

Berger said he obtained the originating strain, a ’90s favorite of Snoop Dogg and B-Real of Cypress Hill, in Florida where it was shared exclusively among local growers under the name Kryptonite, or Krippy. Berger, who was the first to cultivate Kush seeds from a random bag of flower, later shared the strain with Del Rosso in Los Angeles. Berger was also reportedly the first to coin the name Kush after a friend called the strain’s especially frosty colas “Kushberries,” with no intentional reference to the Hindu Kush mountains where other Kush strains originate.

Origins of the OG Kush Strain

  • OG Kush strain is a cross between Hindu Kush and Chemdawg
  • Those who hail from northern California believe that OG Kush comes from the Hindu Kush seeds from Afghanistan that were smuggled into the US. They were cultivated in the very hospitable cannabis growing climate known as the Emerald Triangle Grand Traverse which encompasses three routes. They include the Lost Coast, a remote and undeveloped part of the California coast, the Mendocino Backcountry Discovery Trail (BDT) and Six Rivers BDT.
  • The southern Californians believe that OG Kush strain is a hybrid of Chemdawg, Lemon Thai and a Pakistani Hindu Kush landrace strain that was developed and cultivated by indoor growers in the San Fernando Valley.
  • OG Kush strain is a cross between a northern California strain with a Dutch Hindu Kush strain, bred in Florida.
