OG Kush needs little introduction. It is one of the most influential strains in California cannabis history, and Humboldt Seed Company’s feminized version keeps the legendary gassy nose while improving the parts growers care about: easy, early cultivation, sturdier stems, and more production than other OG phenos.
The breeder rates this line at 70% Indica and 30% Sativa with 22-26% THC, delivering the heady, deeply relaxing high that made the OG name famous. Earthy, pine, and wood flavors sit under that unmistakable fuel-tinged aroma.
OG cuts have a reputation for being finicky, with thin stems and modest yields. This selection was chosen to fix exactly that, so even growers new to OGs can pull a heavy, classic harvest in about 60 days.
Lineage and Breeding of OG Kush
Humboldt Seed Company lists the parentage simply as OG Kush x OG Kush. Rather than crossing in outside genetics, the breeder selected and inbred within the OG family to concentrate its signature traits while dialing in vigor and stem strength.
The line is currently offered as F6 Bx3, a deep level of stabilization for an OG. Expect a uniform canopy, consistent flowering times, and the familiar gas-and-earth profile from seed to seed.
Aroma, Flavor, and Effect
Crack a jar and the classic OG funk rolls out: fuel and earth first, with subtle hints of citrus and spice behind it. The flavor is listed as earthy, pine, and wood, a dry, forest-floor smoke with a fresh pine snap on the exhale. The breeder points to myrcene as the dominant terpene, supported by limonene and caryophyllene.
The effect is described as heady and fully relaxing. It starts behind the eyes with a warm, euphoric lift, then settles through the shoulders and down into the body. It is a long-lasting, versatile high that suits relaxed evenings, and at 22-26% THC it carries plenty of weight.
Growing OG Kush Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, this OG Kush grows short to medium with a bushy, indica frame and wide, dark green leaves. It roughly doubles in size during the early-bloom stretch, so flip with that in mind. Defoliate in late veg, then top and use LST to open the canopy. Flowering takes about 60 days, with yields of up to 500 g/m² (1.64 oz/ft²) under a dialed setup.
Outdoors, the breeder lists harvest from October 1 to 15 and yields of up to 600 g (21.2 oz) per plant. The line handles temperate climates well. Keep an eye out for fungus gnats and powdery mildew, feed more nitrogen in veg, then shift toward phosphorus and potassium in late bloom to push bud density and resin.
The sturdy stems are a real advantage here. Many OG cuts need heavy staking as the colas fill in, while this selection was picked specifically for stem strength, so light support is usually enough.
