As is the case with most Original Gangsters, not many people know much about the strain OG Kush, just that they love the stuff. An Indica dominant hybrid, the OG Kush is the New York Yankees of weed. Prices are high, but when they come to town, you just can’t pass it up. Originating in Southern California, The OG is still extremely popular in the southern parts of California and neighbouring states. Wonder how it got there?

Looks and Smell

There are many fake OG’s out there. A true OG is a small, dense flower with a very little stem. An earthy, green bud with orange hairs and amber trichomes throughout, The OG also gives off that deep pine smell which captivates the nostrils and might lead to you getting high just smelling it.

Growing the Plant

Flower time on an OG Kush grows usually lasts 7-8 weeks. The flower extends a lot while in the vegetation state, but comes back to its compact state during flowering. Grow as you please, the OG is a tough strain to deal with for beginner growers but the value of a good OG Kush is too much to pass up the low yields of the strain.

The Smoke

It had been a while for me since I had last tried a True OG, so I was kind of antsy to put this one in the air. The potency was almost immediately noticeable. In fact, this was easily in the top 3 most potent strains I’ve ever tried. The earthiness that I was smelling when breaking up the buds transferred into that exact taste I imagined, with an almost lemon aftertaste. The blunt put me on a couch for 2 hours watching re-runs of Ridiculousness on MTV. Not a terrible thing, but not extremely productive. If you have the chance to get your hands on some OG Kush, DO NOT PASS IT UP!

Overall

OG Kush is just that old cat who is still fly as a motherfu*^er, a true OG. Definitely one of my all-time favourites, and am really looking forward to getting my hands on some more. 5 Nugs for sure!
