OG Kush - a top strain from California

OG Kush Strain: A legend among cannabis strains

OG Kush is one of the best-known and most popular cannabis strains in the world. Its origins and genetic profile are shrouded in myth, but one thing is certain: this strain has revolutionised the cannabis industry and remains a favourite among connoisseurs and consumers. OG Kush is renowned for its powerful effects, distinctive flavour and versatile applications, making it an outstanding choice for both recreational and medicinal users.

Chemdawg - Lemon Thai and Pakistani Kush

The exact origin of OG Kush is a mystery, but it is widely believed to have originated in California in the early 1990s. There are various theories about its genetic composition, but the most likely is a cross between Chemdawg, Lemon Thai and a Pakistani Kush plant from the mountains of Pakistan. The name "OG" probably stands for "Ocean Grown" and not, as is often assumed, for "Original Gangster", although the latter is often used in pop culture.

Aroma and flavour of the buds

OG Kush is known for its intense and distinctive aroma, which is often described as earthy, piney and citrus-fresh. This strain has a complex terpene profile that translates into a strong, spicy and slightly peppery flavour. When smoked or vaporised, deep, earthy notes unfold, accompanied by hints of citrus and pine. These unique aromas and flavours make OG Kush an unforgettable experience for the senses and a preferred choice for connoisseurs.

Effects of OG Kush and THC content

The effects of OG Kush are both powerful and versatile. With an average THC content of around 20-25%, this strain offers an intense but balanced experience. OG Kush often starts with a euphoric and uplifting mental high, which is quickly followed by a deep physical relaxation. This combination of mental stimulation and physical calm makes OG Kush ideal for evening use or for moments when deep relaxation and stress relief are desired.

Medically, OG Kush is often used to relieve symptoms such as chronic pain, migraines, stress and insomnia. Many patients also report positive effects in the treatment of anxiety and depression, as the strain calms both the mind and the body. The strong, calming effect can also relieve muscle spasms and other physical ailments, making OG Kush a versatile medical option.

Growing the cannabis seeds

OG Kush is a mostly Indica, both feminised and regular seeds are available - it is very popular not only with consumers but also with growers, as it is great to grow with some experience, and always offers a fantastic yield and lots of resin. OG Kush (Linkregular strain) is available regular and feminised, it can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, but prefers a warm and dry climate. When grown indoors, the flowering time is around eight to nine weeks, while outdoors the harvest usually takes place at the beginning of October.

The plants tend to grow medium in size and produce dense, resinous buds that require good ventilation to prevent mould growth. Due to its dense bud structure, OG Kush is also somewhat susceptible to mould and mildew, which is why good air circulation and controlled humidity are important. Despite these minor challenges for growers, OG Kush rewards the effort with high-quality, very potent buds that are rich in THC and offer fantastic terpenes.

OG Kush has won numerous awards, including several Cannabis Cups, and remains one of the most requested strains in dispensaries worldwide. This strain has also contributed to the development of many other popular strains, such as Bubba Kush, SFV OG and Tahoe OG, which emphasises its importance in cannabis breeding. OG Kush has a strong fan base and remains a symbol of quality and potency in the world of cannabis.

OG Kush is more than just a cannabis strain: with its perfect balance of mental and physical effects, its intense aroma and flavour, and its demanding but rewarding cultivation method, it has established itself as a favourite among cannabis consumers. Whether for recreational use or as a therapeutic option, OG Kush offers a multitude of benefits that make it one of the most appreciated strains worldwide. This iconic strain epitomises the diversity and potential of cannabis and remains a shining example of the art of cannabis breeding.
