OG Kush Genetics

During the past years, the OG Kush cannabis strain has ganied lots of popularity in Europe. Developed in California during the 90s, it is believed to be a cross between Chemdog and Lemon Thai x Pakistan Kush.

OG would stand for the term "Ocean Grown", referring to cannabis plants grown near the Pacific Ocean and not on mountainous terrain. This strain was stabilized during 3 generations in the San Fernando Valley area (SFV) before spreading throughout California and the rest of the world, primarly as different cuts (SFV OG, True OG, Fire OG, Tahoe OG, Larry OG, Ghost OG, Abusive OG, Raskal’s OG, etc.)

OG Kush is a very resinous cannabis strain, a mostly Indica hybrid with early flowering and very strong effect, suitable for both recreational and medical use. Despite its Indica dominance, it stretches considerably and develops long internodal distance, reaching considerable height.

Organoleptically, OG Kush is famous for its piney, lemony and earthy flavor, with spicy and diesel undertones.

The quality of the buds quickly made of OG Kush one of the most expensive cannabis strains, being sold at up to 30$/gram in American dispensaries. Its fame was also boosted by Hip Hop stars like Snoop Dogg or Whiz Khalifa, also for the numerous awards at different Cannabis Cups worldwide.

As we have seen - and despite the OG Kush does have Pakistan genes - OG Kush strains should not to be confused with pure landraces from the Hindu Kush area, on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Here you have a list of marijuana strains with at least 50% of OG Kush genes. Since strains like Bubba Kush come from OG Kush, you'll also find them in this list, as well as other hybrids developed from it.
