About OG Kush Strain

OG Kush strain is a legendary strain with a reputation that is known well outside of the field of cannabis. However, in spite of its fame, its precise sources remain a mystery. It’s a cross between the staple Chemdawg and the hardy Hindu Kush landrace, some say. OG Kush may also have arisen as a distinct phenotype of any other existing strain from the undocumented bag crop.

The strength of OG Kush is one thing that is not up for debate. Its THC composition has been reliably estimated at between 20% and 25%. The buds are coated with trichomes, which give them a silvery-white look and make them very sticky to the touch. Consumers will want to use a grinder while prepping buds for a joint or a pipe.

The  buds have an earthy, musty smell when fully cured, which is accentuated with some citrusy brightness: the general feeling is of a hoppy craft beer. Much of a pine-like odour is produced by burning or splitting open the buds. OG Kush smoke is usually harsh and cough-inducing, it can burn the sinuses and water the eyes.

Probably the most famous strain in the world of medicinal marijuana, OG Kush is the perfect hybrid for any indica or sativa lover. It starts almost as soon as you exhale, filling your brain with an uplifted sense of unfocused happiness and ease.
