OG Kush has been an in-demand strain in California for at least a decade. Popular in both cannabis dispensaries and with recording artists, OG Kush is a 75% indica cross of Lemon Thai and ChemDawg strains. OG Kush boasts good production in a fairly short flowering time. It is an easy to grow, vigorous, resistant strain that is adaptable to a wide range of growing techniques.
OG Kush responds well to SoG, SCRoG, super-cropping, LST and lollipopping techniques, the latter involving pruning all lower growth to focus the plants' energies where they will be most productive. Nutrient requirements are only average but outdoor-grown plants will benefit from two or even three layers of netting to support the high number of buds.
Indoors, a three week period of vegetative growth is recommended followed by an 8 - 9 week flowering phase with yields of up to 550 gr/m2. Outdoors, plants can grow to a height of 300 cm. producing up to 1100 gr. each with northern latitude harvests being ready in early to mid October. Mature buds are a bright lime green colour, densely-packed and shaped like a golf ball.
The dominant scents produced by OG Kush are lime and petrol and these are also reflected on the palate. The taste lingers on the tongue and is very more-ish. THC levels are very high and have frequently been measured at 22- -26% with very low CBD. The resulting effect is fast-acting, well-balanced between cerebral and physical, is upbeat, dream-like and long-lasting.
