OG Kush Cannabis Seeds: The West Coast Legend

Alright, legends — gather ‘round. If you’ve been around the traps for a while, you’ve no doubt heard whispers of this beast. OG Kush isn’t just another strain — she’s the Queen Bee, the godmother, the top-shelf classic that’s been holding court since the ’90s. Born from mysterious West Coast genetics, this one’s so iconic, half the strains in your mate’s stash probably share her bloodline.

We’re talking big flavour, heavy hits, and the kind of couch-lock that turns “just one cone” into “see ya tomorrow.” If you’re chasing a proper Indica-dominant heavyweight with legendary roots and a bite like a drop bear on a bender, OG Kush is the real deal.

Quick Stats

OG Kush is a foundational hybrid (≈ 75% indica / 25% sativa) with THC around 20–25% (CBD: <1%). She wraps in 8–9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests in Australia usually landing: North: late March • Mid: mid-April • South: late April. Yields reach 400–500 g/m² indoors and up to ~550 g/plant outdoors. Expect dank, dense buds dripping with resin, oozing earthy pine, diesel, and spice. Matty’s tip: the smell will punch holes in a weak filter — don’t cut corners.

Flavour & Aroma

On the nose: Picture this — you’re walking through a forest after a summer storm. Wet earth, fresh pine, and a tickle of something spicy in the air. That’s OG Kush. She throws out a proper pong: earthy and pungent up front, with piney sharpness and a hint of diesel riding shotgun.

On the tongue: Earthy and woody on the inhale with that classic pine punch. Then comes a spicy, peppery kick on the exhale — like cracked black pepper in a bush stew. It’s bold, it’s loud, and it bloody well sticks with you.

Matty’s Take: “Tastes like old-school gold. That funky forest-floor vibe tells you she’s not here to muck about.”

Effects & What to Expect

• First wave: A fast euphoric hit that smooths the edges and flips your mood into “too easy.”
• Then it settles: The body calm rolls in heavy — shoulders drop, time slows, and the couch starts making decisions.
• Final vibe: Deep relaxation, big appetite, and a very strong chance you’ll forget why you walked into the kitchen.

Lighting up OG Kush is like being hit with a euphoric sledgehammer — in a good way. With THC sitting in the 20–25% range (sometimes more), this isn’t for rookies or daytime dabblers. Perfect for winding down after a big one or sinking into a movie marathon. Fair warning: the munchies will come, and they will be fierce.

How I Grow It (Matty’s Way)

Skill Level: Intermediate. OG Kush rewards structure and patience, not improvisation.

Pot & Medium: I run OG Kush in 15–20L fabric pots. She likes consistent moisture and strong oxygenation around the roots.

Feeding: I start light and stay conservative early. OG Kush is sensitive to nitrogen in veg.

• Early Veg: EC 1.0–1.2
• Late Veg / Stretch: EC 1.4–1.6
• Mid Flower Peak: EC 1.7–1.8 (never higher)

pH Range: Soil 6.2–6.6 | Coco/Hydro 5.8–6.2. Stability matters more than chasing numbers.

Training: I top once above the 4th node, then switch to LST or a ScrOG. OG Kush hates late, aggressive training — everything happens early or not at all.

Air & Spacing: I keep her canopy open from Day 1 of flower. Dense colas mean airflow is mandatory, not optional.

Big Rule: If something looks slightly off, I wait 24–48 hours before reacting. Most OG Kush issues come from growers doing too much, too fast.

The OG Rule: Stability Beats Aggression

Here’s the thing most growers learn the hard way: OG Kush doesn’t reward force — she rewards stability. Push too hard, swing your feed, or let humidity drift and she’ll sulk. Keep your environment boring, consistent, and dialled, and she’ll stack some of the densest, loudest buds you’ll ever trim.

Training & support: She’s bushy and mid-sized and loves training. Use LST or a SCROG to open the canopy and improve light penetration. Her chunky colas get heavy, so stakes or a trellis are your best mate in late flower to stop branches from bending.

Matty’s Feeding & pH Know-How: “She’s a hungry girl, but a bit of a diva early on. Start low with your nutes — especially nitrogen — and work your way up once she’s settled in. Keep your pH on point: 6.0–7.0 in soil, 5.5–6.5 in coco/hydro. And give her room to breathe — airflow is your insurance policy.”

Grow Log: Inside the Tent

Phase/Week	Key Action/Status	Matty’s Tip
Veg Week 3	Strong, bushy growth; ready for training	Top her now to create multiple mains and keep height in check.
Flower Week 2	Stretch begins; pistils forming	Switch to bloom feed and start low — OG will tell you fast if you overdo it.
Flower Week 4	Canopy thickening; bud sites stacking	Humidity creeping at lights-off? Add under-canopy airflow now — it saves runs.
Flower Week 5	Buds stacking dense; aroma gets overwhelming	Lower RH and increase airflow — OG’s density is a mould invitation if you get lazy.
Flower Week 6	Colas swelling; trichomes frosting heavy	Back off nitrogen, nudge potassium — this is where the legendary density locks in.
Harvest Window (Weeks 8–9)	Trichomes milky with amber tips; terps peak	Don’t rush it — wait for the trich ratio that matches the vibe you want.

Advanced Notes (For the Nerds)

• Terpenes: Myrcene (earthy/musky), Limonene (citrus), Caryophyllene (spice).
• Pheno notes: Some phenos lean more fuel/diesel, others more earthy/pine.
• VPD & RH: Keep RH 40–50% in flower; maintain VPD 1.2–1.5 kPa.
• EC: She can eat, but go steady — up to ~1.8 late flower is fine; burn is a real risk if you push.
• Lighting: Thrives under full-spectrum LEDs; PPFD 700–900 µmol/m²/s.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Nutrient burn: She’s a diva early — start half-strength and scale slowly.
• Bud rot: Dense buds love microclimates — airflow is non-negotiable.
• Stress: Be gentle with pruning/training — don’t bully her mid-flower.
• Odour control: OG stinks — upgrade filters before late flower.

Mythbusting

• Myth: “The OG in OG Kush stands for ‘Original Gangster.’”
  Truth (Matty): “Nah. Most OGs reckon it’s ‘Ocean Grown’ — a nod to her California roots. She’s a gangster, but the name’s a bit more chill than that.”
• Myth: “OG Kush is an easy-to-grow Indica.”
  Truth (Matty): “This ain’t your grandad’s indica. OG can be finicky with nutes and humidity. She’s rewarding, not easy.”

Who It’s For?

Perfect If You:

• Want a truly iconic, remember-forever strain.
• Are chasing a heavy mind-and-body finish.
• Appreciate bold, old-school flavours.

Maybe Not For You If You:

• Are a first-timer after a forgiving plant.
• Need daytime energy and social bounce.

Final Verdict

OG Kush is the benchmark — a potent, classic hybrid with a massive reputation and zero interest in being subtle. She’s a challenging-but-legendary run for growers who can keep things stable and boring while she does the loud work. When you crack that jar and the room fills with piney fuel funk, you’ll understand why half the modern lineup traces back to OG.

Matty’s Final Word: “This isn’t just another strain — she’s the backbone of modern cannabis. OG Kush is the yardstick all the new kids get measured against.”
