OG Kush [GHF x Josh D]

To experience the Real OG Kush, you need to go for the Original. This is a branch of a branch off of the original plant that sparked the Kush craze in Los Angeles and changed the game forever. Cultivated in partnership with Josh D, Glass House Farms is excited to offer the original OG Kush, grown to perfection, under the Santa Barbara sun. This unique variety is tall and slender, with minimal coverage of large fat 3,4 and 5 fingered leaves that appear oily in the light and a super rich green glow.  The buds are plump with fat, large bracts, and sparse rust colored hairs that are mostly retracted inside the swollen bracts. The trichomes have a very silvery, pearlescent effect, not white, and are almost greasy and slick to the touch. The aroma explodes with strong notes of hashy, candy gas, pine and skunk, with strong notes of kerosene fuel, peppery black licorice, with hints of lemon and lime. Once you’ve fired some up, you can expect a gradual head change and physical calmness in the head and body making it easy to zone out & lose track of time. Great for substantial stress relief, a memorable sunset sesh, or a reliable aide to unwinding after a long day this strain delivers the perfect blend of relaxing and uplifting feels without being overly sedative. Truly, a very enjoyable smoke that lives up to its reputation.

OG Kush is a world-famous strain first propagated by Matt Berger in Florida. The strain was later popularized after Josh Del Rosso, aka JoshD, was able to perfect the growing conditions and introduce the variety into the Los Angeles market. JoshD Farms reports OG Kush users can expect long-lasting, heavy, yet versatile euphoria and skunky-citrus flavor and aroma. The company is now focused exclusively on developing OG Kush-derived strains and products.

JoshD Farms reports an average THC content of 20% from OG Kush, with some indoor grows testing as high as 26%. Myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene are the dominant terpenes of the strain. According to JoshD Farms, phenotypes and offspring that honor OG Kush’s signature effect and flavor profile include Kosher Kush, Triangle Kush, Skywalker OG, and Loompa’s Headband.

Berger said he obtained the originating strain, a ’90s favorite of Snoop Dogg and B-Real of Cypress Hill, in Florida where it was shared exclusively among local growers under the name Kryptonite, or Krippy. Berger, who was the first to cultivate Kush seeds from a random bag of flower, later shared the strain with Del Rosso in Los Angeles. Berger was also reportedly the first to coin the name Kush after a friend called the strain’s especially frosty colas “Kushberries,” with no intentional reference to the Hindu Kush mountains where other Kush strains originate.

OG Kush also came in 1st place for the Weedmaps March Madness competition in 2020.
