This strain is a potent indica-dominant hybrid, much loved by people around the world. Its true origins are unknown, but it’s believed to be the result of a cross between Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and a Pakistani Kush. The origins of OG Kush’s name are also a mystery. ‘Original Gangster’ is probably the most common theory, though many think that OG stands for ‘ocean grown’, due to its Californian origins. This strain is easy to cultivate, and produces a potent, soothing high.
OG Kush Feminized by White Label cannabis seeds are 75% indica and 25% sativa. The indica dominance is evident not only in the strain’s appearance and compact size, but also its relaxing, full-body high.
This is the feminized version of the strain, which simplifies cultivation as there’s no need to try to identify and remove males. OG Kush has a very short flowering time of just 55 days, making this a popular option with those who want to enjoy a swift harvest.
The indica characteristics are clear from the plants’ short stature, which is typically around 90 to 160 cm. Likewise, their appearance is classically indica – stocky and bushy, with lots of lateral branches. The strain’s yield is impressive, with growers usually generating about 550 g/m2 when cultivating the plants indoors, and up to 1100 g per plant when growing them outside.
The buds are another highlight of OG Kush Feminized. They’re big, dense, and coated in sticky resin, and are an attractive lime-green colour. For optimum results, the plants should be grown in a Mediterannean climate, or alternatively, indoors under lights.
OG Kush Feminized’s indica influence can definitely be felt in the high. However, its sativa genetics are also noticeable. Users report a sense of deep relaxation when using this strain, which is soothing for both the mind and the body. It’s also accompanied by a sense of uplifting euphoria, which is thanks to the sativa influence. Be aware, this strain is potent, with relatively high levels of THC.
The plants produce a distinctively sharp citrus-pine aroma while growing. This smell intensifies as harvest-time approaches, becoming stronger and danker. This is something to anticipate for both indoor and outdoor growers.
Upon tasting, users often notice the citrus flavour, which is accompanied by notes of diesel and sweet berries.

Strain FAQ
How do tall cannabis strains absorb light well?
These plants absorb light well due to their height and open form. This growth pattern allows light to enter the canopy, boosting photosynthesis and plant uniformity.
What physical traits do Central Asian cannabis strains share?
Many Central Asian Indica strains have large leaves, modest stature, and thick buds. This shape optimises solar absorption and moisture retention in their native growth environments.
Why do some cannabis strains smell piney?
Alpha-pinene, present in pine trees, gives forests their pleasant scent. Alpha-pinene gives cannabis its pine-like scent and other qualities.
How do feminized cannabis strains work?
A particular breeding method removes male chromosomes from feminised cannabis plants. Feminised seeds result in plants that are nearly always female (99%) and ready to produce THC and CBD-rich buds. It works like magic to give producers flower-producing plants!
Why do indica plants seem different from sativa ones?
Indica plants are short, bushier, and have broad leaves. Due to their mountainous roots, being low and strong protects them from wind. Their tiny design is practical and attractive, making them ideal for indoor gardens.
