OG Kush is arguably the most influential cannabis strain ever bred — the genetic foundation of countless modern hybrids and a cultural touchstone. We tested Ghost Farms’ OG Kush to see how it holds up in 2026.
Strain Overview
- Type: Indica-dominant Hybrid (75/25)
- THCa: 23–27% (Ghost Farms batch: 25.3%)
- Dominant Terpenes: Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene
- Aroma: Earthy pine, fuel, lemon, subtle spice
Appearance
Dense, well-structured buds with the classic OG Kush olive-green coloration and a generous amber-orange pistil coverage. Trichome density is excellent — matching what you’d expect from a top-shelf indoor grow.
Aroma
Classic OG — immediately recognizable. Fuel and pine on first opening, with the characteristic lemony-earthy undertone that defines the OG Kush terpene profile. Complex, deep, and immediately distinctive. The Myrcene-Limonene-Caryophyllene combination produces one of the most unique aromatic fingerprints in cannabis.
Flavor
The OG flavor profile held well through smoking and vaping. Earthy pine on the inhale, citrus-fuel on the exhale. Smooth at moderate temperatures. The terpene expression is consistent with the aroma — a sign of proper curing.
Effects
OG Kush lives up to its legendary status. Onset within 3–5 minutes: initial cerebral euphoria — warm, focused, engaged. Within 15–20 minutes: a distinctive body relaxation begins, the OG “heaviness” that distinguishes it from purely cerebral hybrids. Effect lasted approximately 2.5 hours at moderate dose.
The OG Kush headspace is uniquely balanced — more cerebrally active than many indicas, yet with enough body effect to make it excellent for stress relief and mild pain management. Perfect for late afternoon through evening use.
COA Verification
25.3% THCa, 0.19% Delta-9 THC (compliant), 1.7% total terpenes, all safety panels passing.
Overall Rating: 9/10
Ghost Farms’ OG Kush is exactly what the strain should be — authentic genetics, properly cured, with the distinctive OG profile intact. A reliable staple for any serious cannabis consumer.
