OG Is one of the strongest cannabis strains in the medical marijuana community. THC contents have been tested to be anywhere from 24-28% THC. Many Medical Marijuana patients choose OG Kush Primarily for Sleep and pain relieving attributes. The true origin of “OG Kush” isn’t really clear, too many stories which don’t relate at all. Judging by its growth structure and its similarities to other “Kush’s”, this strain actually might be a land-race Kush from the middle east of its own. From personal experience, growing out many different strains and phenotypes’ given to me by veteran growers going back all the way to the early 70’s tell me that “OG KUSH”was introduced to the US ` longer than most growers believe. There are several Phenotypes’ of OG Kush being circulated around the United States. Many popular OG versions would be the Larry, Tahoe and SFV OG (San Fernando Valley OG).

OG Kush can get easy to grow indoors once you have dialed in your environment. The vegetative stage for OG is most important when considering Yield, the attribute which OG lacks the most indoors. Super-cropping is a great technique to use with OG as it grows. This simple method can make your plant strong and ready to hold the dense buds of OG. Squeezing the stem until it crimps is the right idea. To create that even canopy, always super-crop the tallest branches of the plant, an inch under the top. The OG’s growth structure lacks the strength most cannabis strains have which is a solid stalk. “viney” and stretchy would be the best way to describe the growth. The overall goal is to create a solid canopy not to dense, but enough to absorb the distribution of light. This is where super cropping plays a vital role to achieve that “Sea of green” canopy. A tomato trellis is commonly used when growing OG, one for the vegetative stage and another if needed for the flowering stage. OG tends to triple its length once in flowering stage. Overall node spacing would be 4-6 inches depending on Light intensity near the end of the flowering Phase. It takes a full ten weeks to finish OG (including the flushing stage). The average most experienced growers keep OG in the vegetative stage is 2-3 weeks with horizontal reflected HID lighting to maximize yield. OG grows much more solid and stronger under natural sunlight. It is an enormous difference in difficulty comparing from indoor to outdoor, outdoor preferably for OG Kush.

Nutrients can play a vital role when growing any plant. Preferably to achieve maximum potency, aroma, and flavor is to grow organically. Using organic methods of fertilizer is ideal when growing any kind of medicinal or edible plant. Since we’re dealing with OG here, it is important to keep Phosphorus and Potassium levels above average in the flowering stage, using many types of guano, worm castings compost tea’s etc.

Growing the non organic way using petroleum based nutrients is the other option. It can be noted that chemical nutrients have proved to increase growth and yield but not necessarily potency or quality. Og generally needs 700-1000 PPM’s of a balanced Calcium and Magnesium enriched nutrient solution. 5.5-6.0 pH would be desirable allowing some fluctuation within the given pH range. Giving more concentration of nutrient surpassing the 1000PMM mark is not recommended due to experienced slower growth and overall lower yield. Depending on lighting, and certain nutrient, PPMs. will vary, but the general rule for most popular chemical based nutrients is under 1000PPMs.

OG is very prone to Powdery Mildew, and also hermaphidite traits when surpassing ten weeks of indoor flowering. Most breeders have encountered problems finding phenotypes having auto flowering and hermaphidite traits.

When OG is finished one can agree that the general aroma of OG is lemony/fuel, lemon aroma being the most dominant feature when it comes to the smell. The taste matches its fragrance, very lemony with earthy undertones. OG Kush is generally used by patients with sleeping disorders or for general pain relief.

I recently tried the newest offering from Big Budda seeds. ‘Cheisal’ is a sativa/indica hybrid that combines the best of the original  UK Cheese and Soma’s own NYC Diesel. I have to say, this is some of the best bud I have tasted. I was amazed by the sheer amount of resin on the fruit, it looked like millions of tiny diamonds under my microscope! When I broke one of the buds apart, the smell was an intense fruity bubblegum aroma and the unmistakable scent of NYC diesel. When I lit my first joint the smoke was thick and lingering, a bit like bubble-hash, although the smell was very musty and skunky. On the inhale the smoke seemed almost creamy although it was sharp. On the exhale the UK Cheese came through with no mistake, although I got hints of lemon. I put 0.3g of the crumbled bud into my joint (I’m not sure if this is a lot, but it works for me The effects came on fast and strong and I got an amazing cerebral euphoric high. I would even say it was a creative high! I just wanted to grab an interesting book and read it (although it did affect my vision slightly). There was also a nice relaxing, floaty physical high about 35mins after the mental high wore off. Altogether, the high lasted about 60mins and i have to say it was quite an experience. I think this strain would benefit people with depression as it made me feel very social and chatty. Anyway im off for another one now so thanks for reading and hope you like my review.         Sativa.king

I have access to Clones of the original chem-4 from JoeBrand.   My caregiver grew out this very stuff, and it was some of the most potent buds I’ve ever had. Super pungent, almost sour along with the sweet smell OG Kush has.  Immediate sensory alteration. Its has the high of a hard hitting sativa but carries along the nice subtle indica effects that most patients seek. Definitely a head stone. Be ready for your cranium to blast off of your shoulders into the stratosphere.  Be warned if your not doing much you might doze off with your shoes on. Nice thick blanketed feeling on your body.  For both, indica and sativa lovers.

This strain may benefit patients with any chronic illness, Glaucoma, Chronic Pain, Sleeping issues, eating disorders, Diabetes, Apnea, Asthma, Bi-Polar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Migraines, GastroIntestinal issues, Crohns disease, Muscle spasms, Arthritis

At a Grateful Dead show at Deer Creek Amphitheatre, ‘joebrand’ (aka ‘wonkanobe’) and ‘pbud’ met ‘chemdog’ and sold him an ounce of very high quality pot for $500. joe and chemdog exchanged numbers and they later arranged for two ounces to be shipped to chemdog on the east coast. According to chemdog, one ounce was seedless and the other had 13 seeds.

In ’91, chemdog popped the first 4 seeds. From these seeds, one male was found and disposed of (chemdog was young, you can’t blame him). The 3 females were labeled ‘chemdawg’ (now ’91 chemdawg), ‘chemdawg a’ (now chemdawg’s sister), and ‘chemdawg b’. In ’01, chemdog and his girlfriend attempted to germ 3 more seeds, labeled ‘c’, ‘d’, and ‘e’. the ‘e’ seed never germinated, ‘c’ turned out to be junk (according to chemdog), and chemdawg ‘d’ was the keeper. In ’06, ‘chemdog’ and ‘joebrand’ reunited and joe was given 4 of the last 6 beans: Chemdawg phenos 1-4, ’4′ being the chosen keeper. Joe thought the ’4′ was the best representation of the original and thus dubbed it the ‘reunion pheno’. Chemdog still has two seeds left in his stash.

Chem 4 Grows very similar to OG kush only with a bit more Vigor. Super cropping is highly suggested. Chem 4 has a tight bud structure with a large cola build. Chem 4 should be taken 10 weeks. See OG Kush for more details.

NYC Diesel By: “Cakes”

An amazing bud. I’ve heard it disparaged due to it originated from a bag seed but there is no way that someone would say it to it’s face. It’s not the high (although I found it unique) or the yield or the smell that makes it special.. it’s the taste. we are talking an extra dimension same as we found with Godbud. It has the regular beautiful bouquet that all herb has but then it is like if there were a dessert served with that. not an altering of the regular beauty, just an extra separate plate of it. It’s a must try. like black and white tv turned color.

funny thing is, although the taste was like double, the high was almost like half a high. and the other half of the high was found in the other plant. there was two plants i grew and each was a different pheno (although the separation in phenos did not show early). One plant was good to smoke at first but then you needed the other to come down properly without a headache and unsatisfied feeling.

Yield was average old school indica style. none of the heavy budding or mainstem leafage you see on some of today’s hybrids. Buds formed at the ends of branches and matured quickly. a good candidate for one mid-veg pinching. not much advantage to growing it over 18 – 24″ inside (2/3m or less) as long as flavor and high remain full. non-stretchy. good eater. couldn’t take being too alkaline. keeps bud density under fluoros.

Afgoo is a heavy indica-dominant strain with a lovely sweet, piney scent. The bud has pale orange/amber hairs and the trichomes glisten making any bud connoisseur’s mouth water. The smoke is harsh, in a good way, and quite the cougher. It’s also a lung expander so it wouldn’t be a good choice for beginners. The effect is definitely a heavy-stone number but not a couch-locker. Anyone who’s looking for a good night’s rest, or any patient who loves trying different strains, should pick up Afgoo.

Buddha’s Sister is a very interesting Indica Dominant strain. The buds coloration is spread apart the bud very evenly, being light green and dark green with full blooded dark orange hairs, covered with a coat of fine looking dusty trichomes. Very nice looking bud and effect to accompany it. The smoke burned on its way down, after a cough or two, a very light headed stone, that can be felt lingering in your head, reaching the full effect after 15 minutes of soaking in, the indica and sativa blend perfectly with each other, giving you a very pleasant morning or night. This can aid patients with any body aches, sleep deprivation.

Purple Wheelchair is a heavy indica, at first glance it was a dimmly colored bud. Being darker purple in some areas with touches of green, with very light faded orange hairs with a nice coat of trichomes. The bud was airy and some what sticky, the smell was very strong, under-tone sweet grape. After a toke, the smoke was a little on the harsh side, but after taste was not bad. This strain is a couch-lock as the name intends, the effect was very stoney and patients will enjoy this strain most in the night, or before bed.

In instances where there is a number like (4) after a strain that is how many additional breeds of that strain I’ve had. For example I’ve had 5 different varieties of Purple Kush. If you’d like me to add reviews for any of those that I have not request in a comment and I will do so asap.

Sensi Star is a very powerful indica, the bud is a contrast of light and dark green, with light and darker brownish hairs. It is very dense, compact with good coat of trichomes. After opening the container, a burst of fresh lemon zest, and out of the bag the bud smelled very rich and earthy. The smoke was on the harsh side, with a sour after taste. After a toke, I was in a more compact, and simple world, with a powerful head high, that puts you in a more comfortable or more relaxed state that does not couch-lock. The high is almost euphoric, things seemed much more alive, and vibrant when i stepped outside. Patients who would benefit from this strain the most are those with glaucoma, migraines, headaches, and anxiety problems.

- Found at GreenDragon Coop.

This strain is crossed with O.G Kush and G-13, two potent strains make this a heavy hitting indica. The buds are very tight and compact, light green with a heavy coating of crystals all over the bud. It has light amber to brown hairs bursting out of the bud. The calyxes are shaped beautifully with each one looking like a well crafted mini vase. It smelled and tasted like fresh herbs and spices with a very small trail of citrus in the back of the throat. The smoke was harsh and if you have weak lungs I recommend you don’t take a massive hit or else you’ll be coughing your brains out. Like I said this ones a heavy hitter, it has a numbing hypnotic high that had me locked to the couch for a good hour. The come down was slow and heavy, great for any patient who is looking for a strain to just relax the whole body. Overall it was outstanding and make sure you don’t have anything planned before you start toking on this one.
