CBD OG Kush
OG Kush × CBD Donor Strains (e.g., Cannatonic, AC/DC, Harlequin)
CBD OG Kush is a specialized indica-dominant strain derived from the classic OG Kush, selectively bred to offer a balanced cannabinoid profile with significant CBD alongside moderate THC. This cultivar aims to retain the characteristic Kush aroma and flavor while moderating psychoactivity for a more functional experience.
Appearance
CBD OG Kush typically presents dense, resinous flowers with tightly stacked calyxes, mirroring its OG Kush heritage. Plants grown indoors often reach a medium height, between 80-140 cm, with compact internodal spacing. The buds are usually conical or golf-ball sized, characterized by a heavy trichome coating and lime to deep green coloration, often accented by orange or bronze pistils. Some phenotypes may display subtle purple hues under cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of CBD OG Kush is a pungent and complex blend, prominently featuring diesel-like notes, bright lemon-citrus, pine, and a hint of black pepper. When handled, earthy and incense-like undertones may emerge. The flavor profile follows suit, beginning with diesel and lemon zest, followed by pine and pepper, sometimes with a subtle grapefruit pith bitterness. The finish is often described as peppery and citrusy with a clean sensation.
Effects
Designed for users seeking the OG Kush experience with reduced intoxication, CBD OG Kush offers a smoother, more controlled effect. Its balanced cannabinoid profile can promote clarity and provide functional, day-friendly benefits. This makes it suitable for both medical consumers prioritizing CBD and adult-use consumers desiring a less intense experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
CBD OG Kush is known for its distinct terpene profile, often including beta-caryophyllene, limonene, and pinene, contributing to its characteristic aroma and flavor. The strain is bred to have a balanced ratio of CBD to THC, often falling into Type II (balanced) or Type III (CBD-dominant) chemotypes, with CBD levels significantly higher than traditional OG Kush.
Origins & Lineage
CBD OG Kush is a modern development stemming from the classic OG Kush lineage, which is widely believed to have roots in Chemdawg crossed with Thai or Pakistani/Kush genetics. Breeders have strategically crossed OG Kush with established high-CBD strains such as Cannatonic, AC/DC, or Harlequin to achieve its unique cannabinoid ratio while preserving the original cultivar's sensory qualities.
