OG Kush: An amazing combination of varieties

The true origin of its genetic characteristics is unknown. Some claim that OG Kush is a mixture of ChemDawg with Lemon Thai and Pakistani Kush. Others say it’s a special kind of ChemDawg that first appeared in the 90s. Even the meaning of its initials, (OG), is considered controversial, with some believing it means Original Gangster. Either way, because of its origins, most people today agree that the initials OG stand for Ocean Grown.

The growers at Royal Queen Seeds have worked very hard to create our version of the legendary OG Kush variety. Having crossed Chemdawg, Lemon Thai and Pakistani Kush, they have created a complete strain with high levels of THC and lots of fruity terpenes. Overall, it offers an amazing profile consisting of 75% Indica and 25% Sativa genetic traits.

Is OG Kush the most famous variety of RQS?

One thing that is not in doubt, however, is the popularity of this feminised cannabis variety. OG Kush is loved by many, from Hollywood stars and rappers to medical marijuana users. Its most characteristic element is its strong, distinct, liquid and slightly lemony aroma; so intense that it is often compared to the smell of Diesel.

OG Kush offers a powerful cerebral and physical effect

OG Kush is an extremely strong cannabis strain, with some of the experienced smokers ranking it very high on their list of favourites. Its effects may belong to the Sativa category, but the genetic characteristics of the variety belong mainly to the Indica category. It is equally intense both physically and mentally and its taste is rich and complex. OG Kush takes about 8 weeks to flower and yields an average of 500 grams per plant.

With THC levels reaching 19%, it calms the body and the mind just as effectively. Stunning aromas and flavours of citrus, pine and citrus complement its wonderful effect, leaving you with a desire to taste more of this amazing variety. High concentrations of the terpenes myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene create its characteristic aroma.

Growers can easily achieve large harvests by using some technical training. By cutting off the tops of the plant early in the growth stage you will encourage it to produce many branches and eventually more flowers. Both the main-lining and low-stress techniques will help the plant to become bushier, as well as having a more airy structure.

OG Kush produces large flowers with beautiful shades

OG Kush is known to spread out at the beginning of its growth, but soon this spread is reduced as soon as it flowers. It usually reaches 90 to 160 cm. The buds are large and dense, full of resin and have a lime green colour. There are many reasons why OG Kush has become so popular. It is now available in feminized seeds from Royal Queen Seeds, so you can try this wonderful variety for yourself.
