The OG Kush strain, as we have just mentioned, has been cultivated and distributed for more than 30 years. It is one of the most consumed strains of all time.
The true origins of the famous OG Kush strain is not full known but from a little bit of research we’ve learned that the strain is thought to have come out of Northern California and could be a cross between Hundu Kush, Lemon Thai and Chemdawg (apparently another strain).
What we know for sure is that the OG Kush strain is beyond famous, and, even today, is considered to be one of the best cannabis strains ever produced. Thankfully, the original Kush is so easy to find and enjoy these days, that anybody can enjoy it.
The OG Kush strain is fairly easy to identify by its scent, but they aren’t particularly identifiable to look at.
Some observations we have are that the buds tend to be small, fairly branchy and loosely packed. Compared to other strains, the buds are usually much smaller than other more modern strains.
The buds are very leafy, thick with trichomes, with bright orange pistils. What you need to expect is a spicy, woody, pine which hits your nose as soon as you open up the bag.
