Auto OG Kush by Bulk Seed Bank
Ruderalis × OG Kush
Auto OG Kush from Bulk Seed Bank is an autoflowering hybrid that translates the celebrated potency and aroma of the original OG Kush into a more accessible plant. It was developed by crossing classic OG Kush genetics with a ruderalis strain to achieve day-length-independent flowering. This cultivar aims to deliver the dense resin and characteristic bouquet of OG Kush within a compressed lifecycle, making it suitable for various growers and environments.
Appearance
Auto OG Kush plants typically grow to a compact height of 60-100 cm indoors, exhibiting a stout, Christmas-tree-like structure with closely spaced nodes. They develop dense colas and a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, often covered in heavy resin by mid-growth. The leaves are generally medium-broad and dark green, sometimes showing lime green hues. Buds are spherical to conical, and while the base strain is not typically purple, some phenotypes may display faint lavender hints on the sugar leaves in cooler temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Auto OG Kush is rooted in the classic OG Kush profile, featuring notes of fuel, citrus, and pine, often with earthy undertones. Early in flowering, scents of lemon zest and fresh sap are present, evolving into a sharper gas and pepper combination. By harvest, the bouquet can present as petrol-lime with forest floor and a hint of floral sweetness. Growers report phenotypes can lean towards a gassy-citrus or pine-earth scent profile.
Effects
This hybrid strain is reported to produce focused and tingly sensations. While specific details on the balance of indica and sativa effects are not provided, the lineage suggests a potentially well-rounded experience. The autoflowering nature and stable genetics contribute to a reliable outcome for growers.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Auto OG Kush typically contains around 20% THC and less than 1% CBD. Its terpene profile is noted to preserve the chemotype of OG Kush, with dominant compounds including myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene. Alpha-pinene contributes pine notes, while secondary terpenes like linalool and humulene may add floral or hop-like nuances. Total terpene content can range from 1.2-2.5%.
Growing
Developed as an autoflower, Auto OG Kush is designed for ease of cultivation, making it accessible for new growers and suitable for smaller spaces or short seasons. It flowers independently of light cycles, typically completing its lifecycle in about 10-12 weeks from seed. The plants maintain a compact structure, and growers should consider airflow due to the density of the buds and resin production.
Origins & Lineage
Auto OG Kush is an autoflowering variant of the renowned OG Kush, stabilized by Bulk Seed Bank. It was created by combining classic OG Kush genetics with a ruderalis donor to ensure automatic flowering. The original OG Kush is believed to have emerged in Southern California in the 1990s, with common parentage suggestions including Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and Pakistani Kush. This autoflower version aims to retain the potency and flavor profile of its photoperiod predecessor.
