Jesus OG -- also known as Jesus OG Kush -- was developed while attempting to create a Sour Kush strain.

Developed by West Coast seed bank TGA Genetics, the goal was producing a fruity-smelling hybrid with lemon flavor undertones to pair with its classic Kush taste.

TGA co-founder Subcool said the recipe was perfected in 2007 by pollinating a clone-only female -- Hell’s OG that was held by Norstar Genetics -- with pollen from a Jack the Ripper male.

Jesus OG has two main phenotypes: one with more limonene, which results in a lemony scent reflective of the strain’s Northern Lights #5 ancestry, and one with more Kush-dominant genetics that results in a pinene-dominant terpene profile.

The high-limonene phenotype is reportedly the more commercial of the two.

TGA reports cultivators of Jesus OG can expect tall growth and massive yields -- especially when planting outdoors -- with a 50-63 day flowering time. Jesus OG’s leaves are bright green, and its flowers are dense with waxy, trichome-riddled surfaces and prominent orange hair clusters.

Breeder Subcool describes the Jesus OG high as intoxicating, yet thought-provoking, alleviating pain and providing mental clarity. The strain was used by breeder Jinxproof to create the 9lb Hammer, which won a cannabis cup in 2017.
