OG Kush is a hybrid (balanced) cannabis strain with a lemon-pine, fuel funk, earthy hash on the exhale profile, 19-26% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene. It is best known for evening social, after-work decompression, stress + pain combo, with effects setting in fast, 3-4 minutes, balanced head + body lift. Terp Bros NYC stocks OG Kush-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
OG Kush is typically reported as a hybrid (balanced) experience: evening social, after-work decompression, stress + pain combo. Onset is fast, 3-4 minutes, balanced head + body lift. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.
Terpene Profile
What each terpene is and how it behaves is covered in our terpene guide. Below is what they do in this cultivar.
OG Kush is built on a dominant terpene stack of caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, which together produce the lemon-pine, fuel funk, earthy hash on the exhale aroma profile customers recognize across batches. Terpene-led recommendations are how our budtenders walk new customers off "biggest THC number wins" thinking and into picking a strain that actually matches the feeling they want.
Caryophyllene
In OG Kush specifically, caryophyllene contributes peppery, warm, grounding on the body.
Limonene
In OG Kush specifically, limonene contributes mood-elevating, clear-headed euphoria, daytime-friendly.
Myrcene
In OG Kush specifically, myrcene contributes body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel.
Lineage + Genetics
OG Kush traces back to Chemdawg crossed with Hindu Kush crossed with Lemon Thai, with a documented origin story rooted in Florida/California, early 1990s, parent strain to GSC, Bubba Kush, and most of modern Kush genetics. The flowering time runs 8-9 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
OG Kush is what built modern cannabis, we treat it like the espresso of the menu, the baseline every customer should try at least once. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try OG Kush in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is OG Kush a daytime or evening strain? Evening-leaning. OG Kush's caryophyllene + limonene terpene dominance and indica-leaning lineage make it one of our more-requested evening strains. Some customers pair it with a low-dose CBN-blend gummy for a heavier wind-down.
Does OG Kush cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. OG Kush contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding), limonene (mood-elevating) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of OG Kush? OG Kush typically tests in the 19-26% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is OG Kush safe for first-time cannabis customers? OG Kush is a balanced hybrid that works for first-time customers as long as the dose is conservative. Start with a single inhale or a 2.5mg edible, and ask a budtender about the current batch's THC percentage before deciding on format.
