While there are several different variations of the legend, many of the stories surrounding the origins of the OG Kush strain involve a seed found in a bag of otherwise seedless buds obtained at a Grateful Dead show sometime in the 1990s. Some say that seed was grown into Chemdog, which was at some point crossed with an unknown Kush (possibly a Lemon Thai Kush/Pakistani Kush hybrid to produce the OG Kush strain. Most accounts of the history of OG Kush say that the strain first emerged in California.
Laboratory analysis of OG Kush has identified the primary terpenes in OG Kush to be myrcene and limonene, with caryophyllene and pinene also predominant. The myrcene gives OG Kush the heavy, stony qualities of an indica while the pinene and limonene provide a joyful, energetic type of buzz. The caryophyllene is reputed to have anti-inflammatory and anti-depressant properties.
OG Kush is a hybrid strain that has the powerful, long-lasting effects of an indica as well as some of the finer nuances of a sativa. The buds are a vivid lime green accented with fiery orange hairs and sparkling crystals. OG Kush has a lemony yet earthy scent, and the buds are dense and sticky.
