OG Kush XTRM ® Feminized Seeds

About OG Kush XTRM feminized seeds

OG Kush XTRM feminized seeds grow into an indica-dominant hybrid, 70% indica and 30% sativa. Its THC level goes up to 21%. The strain found its way from the U.S. West Coast to the rest of the world, and plenty of people have a theory about where the name comes from. Some say OG stands for Original Gangsta, others say it is short for Ocean Grown Kush. Its roots remain a mystery. One story says Chemdawg and Hindu Kush are the parents, and given the distinct kush bud structure, that could be true. These seeds are feminized.

What are the effects of OG Kush?

The effects are body-stoned, euphoric, talkative and uplifting. Kush strains usually fall somewhere between hybrid and indica, and the effect is typically heavy. OG Kush adds a bright euphoria on top, one that puts a smile on your face even when you are settled deep into the couch. Thoughtful, inward-looking moments are a common part of the experience, and many people also find themselves chatty. The smoke is potent and can make some users cough, so take smaller pulls to begin with.

Taste and aroma

The flavors are lemon and pine with a fruit edge, backed by an earthy, woody base. The citrus lifts the front of each puff and the pine and wood carry the finish.

Strain characteristics

The buds are sticky because they are covered in trichomes, which gives them a silvery-white appearance. The leaves are usually yellowish, and some phenotypes show purple as well. This is a tall plant, and the difficulty is rated easy to moderate, so it is open to growers who are still learning as well as those who have a few runs behind them.

Growing OG Kush XTRM indoors

Indoors the plant reaches up to 140 cm (55 in), which is a lot of height for a tent. Because it is tall, training matters. Topping early and bending the branches sideways keeps the canopy flat, and a trellis net helps hold up the heavier branches. Yield indoors goes up to 550 grams (19.4 oz) per square meter, which is high.

Growing outdoors

Outdoors you can grow OG Kush in cold, Mediterranean or warm, dry climates. If you want to grow it outside, remember that it needs a temperature of about 24 degrees C (75 degrees F). In cooler regions, pick the sunniest spot you have and start the plants after the last frost. Give the roots room and keep an eye on humidity late in the season, since thick, resinous buds can hold moisture.

Flowering time and harvest

Flowering falls in the fast range of 6 to 10 weeks. Trichomes are the best guide to harvest. Cut when most are cloudy with some amber. After harvest, dry the buds slowly and cure them in jars so the lemon and pine come through cleanly and the smoke is smoother.

Who is this strain for?

OG Kush XTRM suits growers at almost any level who have room for a tall plant. It also suits smokers who like a euphoric, talkative indica-leaning effect with a citrus and pine flavor. If you need help with anything, check out our Grow Guide for advice from AMS.
