OG Kush, also known as “Premium OG Kush,” was first cultivated in Florida in the early ‘90s when a marijuana strain from Northern California was supposedly crossed with Chemdawg, Lemon Thai and a Hindu Kush plant from Amsterdam. The result was a hybrid with a unique terpene profile that boasts a complex aroma with notes of fuel, skunk, and spice. OG often refers to “Original Gangster,” indicating either the strain’s authenticity or intensity. OG Kush should smell like lemon-pine-fuel with a high-THC, mixed head and body effect. It’s often enjoyed in the back half of the day to ease stress.

The genetic backbone of West Coast cannabis varieties, OG Kush arrived in Los Angeles in 1996 when Matt “Bubba” Berger brought it (along with “The Bubba,” which was later used to create the famed Bubba Kush) from Florida to legendary cultivator Josh D. Since then, OG Kush has become a worldwide staple used to create numerous famous strains like GSC and Headband. There are many different phenotypes of OG Kush weed, including Tahoe OG, SFV OG, and Ghost OG.

It is widely understood that sun grown cannabis produces more terpenes. While terpenes do not directly impact THC levels, it’s believed that they work in tandem with other chemicals in the plant such as CBD and THC to produce the distinct effects that are associated with the qualities of different strains. Terpenes, whose primary purpose is to protect plants from weather and changes in environment, are best cultivated through more natural growing methods.

The bottom line is that the skill of the grower has more impact on the potency of the plant than the general environment, and moreover, that the presence of sunlight impacts cannabis in ways that just can’t be replicated artificially.
