Lithium OG
OG Kush × Master Kush
Lithium OG, also known as Lithium OG Kush, is an indica-leaning hybrid developed in the 2010s. It combines the potency of OG Kush with the stability of Master Kush, offering a reliably relaxing experience with a euphoric spark.
Appearance
Lithium OG plants typically exhibit broad leaves and stout branching, reaching a medium-to-tall stature. The buds are dense, resin-rich, and often light to olive-green with amber pistils. A thick layer of trichomes covers the flowers, giving them a frosted appearance. Some phenotypes may display faint purple hues on sugar leaves under cooler temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Lithium OG is a complex blend of earthy, piney, and citrus notes, underscored by a distinct diesel-kush scent. Initial whiffs reveal lemon peel and damp forest, followed by hints of pepper and musk. Breaking apart the buds releases a sharper citrus-diesel aroma, while curing can bring out incense-like undertones.
Flavors mirror the aroma, presenting a profile of citrus, diesel, earth, and herbal notes, with some experiencing floral or lavender nuances. The taste is often described as bright and pungent, with a lingering earthy finish.
Effects
Lithium OG is recognized for delivering a balanced experience, starting with an uplifting, euphoric sensation inherited from its OG Kush lineage. This is followed by a more pronounced, body-centered relaxation that provides a steadying and calming influence. It is often sought for evening use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The dominant terpenes commonly found in Lithium OG include Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene. Myrcene contributes earthy and musky notes, Limonene adds citrus brightness, and Caryophyllene provides spicy, peppery undertones. Other terpenes like Pinene and Humulene may be present, adding pine and herbal qualities, while Linalool can introduce floral hints. Minor cannabinoids such as CBG have also been reported in small percentages, contributing to the overall entourage effect.
Origins & Lineage
Lithium OG is a hybrid strain created by crossing OG Kush with Master Kush. OG Kush is believed to have ancestry including Chemdog, Thai-Lemon, and Pakistani Kush, while Master Kush originates from Hindu Kush landrace genetics. This combination results in an indica-leaning hybrid, often approximated as 70% indica and 30% sativa.
Growing
Lithium OG is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, responding well to training techniques like topping and SCROG. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks. Indoor yields are typically reported in the range of 450-600 g/m².
