OG Kush is a balanced hybrid at 19-26% THC, with lemon-pine, fuel funk and earthy hash on the exhale over a caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene stack. Onset is 3-4 minutes, with a balanced head and body lift. It is listed as a parent strain to GSC, Bubba Kush and much of modern Kush.

Chemdawg, Hindu Kush and Lemon Thai

Three parents are listed: Chemdawg, Hindu Kush and Lemon Thai. The strain traces to Florida and California in the early 1990s. GSC and Bubba Kush both name OG Kush among their parents. Flowering takes 8-9 weeks.

A Balanced Lift

What people report is a balanced lift in head and body. It arrives in 3-4 minutes. Reported uses are evening socializing and after-work sessions. A smoked or vaped session lasts roughly 2 to 4 hours, while edibles run past that window.

The aroma profile is lemon-pine, fuel funk and earthy hash on the exhale.

How the Terpenes Break Down

Caryophyllene

Caryophyllene leads the order: peppery, warm and grounding on the body, with fuel funk in the aroma.

Limonene

Limonene takes second place: uplifting, clear-headed and daytime-friendly, with lemon-pine in the aroma.

Myrcene

Myrcene is third, body-relaxing, heavy and classic indica-feel, with earthy hash on the exhale.

Where to Go Next From OG Kush

GG#4 shares the terpene order but is stronger at 22-30% THC, with sour chocolate. Cherry Pie sweetens the same trio with tart cherry. Sour Diesel is sativa-leaning and gasoline-forward with citrus rind. Green Crack is a sativa-leaning, mango-and-tropical-citrus alternative at 15-22%.
