Not an actual strain
OG Kush is arguably the most mythologized strain in American cannabis, and RQS's version works from the most commonly cited lineage — Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and Pakistani Kush. The true genetic origin is disputed, and has been since the early 1990s: some growers maintain OG Kush is just a specific Chemdawg cut from that period, others credit the three-way cross above, and the debate has more or less settled into "nobody really knows." Even the name OG has been argued over for decades, with Original Gangster and Ocean Grown both claiming etymological authority, though most modern users and breeders have converged on Ocean Grown based on the strain's west coast origins. What's not disputed is the 1st place win at the Highlife Cannabis Cup, or the plant's status as a foundational modern hybrid — OG Kush is in the parentage of an enormous portion of today's commercial cannabis, directly or indirectly. Genetic split sits at 75% indica, 25% sativa.
Growers should expect moderate stretch during early flower before the plant fills out — final height lands between 90-160cm depending on training and container size. Flowering runs around 8 weeks, with yields averaging 500 g per plant and buds arriving as large, dense, lime-green clusters covered in glittering resin. Training pays off on this strain: topping early in veg forces multiple main stems and significantly more bud sites, while mainlining and LST keep the bushy canopy open enough for light penetration to the lower flower. It's not a difficult grow, but it's not low-maintenance either; the reward scales directly with the attention you give it. Feed steady, watch for the classic Kush calcium hunger mid-bloom, and the plant will respond with the dense, resinous flower that made the line famous. Indoor growers running SOG-style rotations often favor it for the predictable bud structure and the short eight-week finish.
At 19% THC the high is strong in both directions simultaneously — a classic mental-plus-physical experience that smokes more like a sativa than the indica genetics would suggest, but with real body weight underneath to keep it grounded. Flavor is the strain's signature: citrus and pine with an unmistakable fuel undertone, driven by high concentrations of myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene. The terpene profile is what separates OG Kush from generic indica hybrids — bright, sharp, and immediately identifiable in a blind smoke. Lime-green resin-covered flowers that smell as good as they look, and a high that rewards more hits rather than punishing them. A heritage strain with a real presence in the modern catalog, and one of the best introductions to the Kush family available.
