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 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.

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.

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.

- Aids with most pains and insomnia
-THC Content: 18%+

The earthy flavor of the smoke left something to be desired, a taste similar to chlorophyll (a likely symptom of improper curing.) A good aspect about Hash Plant is its very resinous nature, so you know the end result will be just fine. The high is very nice. It starts in the chest area and gradually works its way up north. The stone lasts for more then a hour.

If you don’t like all that glitz and glamor with rock star buds like kush, then Hash Plant might be right for you. Although it’s over-priced, doesn’t taste very good, and is kind of malodorous; it tries to compensate in the effects department and does so admirably.

-Good body high
-Horrible taste/smell
-good to gain an appetite

This bud is mainly a sativa, 90% to 10% indica. This bud is fluffy, but quite dense, with a pale white shade of trichomes covering it. The crystals are very long and colored with a light orange to amber coloring. The trichomes make this strain look pale white/green, but not much signs of calyxes in this strain. There is a fresh scent of haze with traits of citrus, almost like an orange. The taste was great with an orange taste and a hazey after burn. It has a very trippy visual high, you can feel it start to creep up on you and takes control of your body and eyes. It has a psychedelic feel throughout the long lasting high with a soft and smooth comedown. Overall, another sativa strain that was pretty impressive.

-Great for headaches
-Long lasting
-THC Content: 14-16%

Pure kush is a very relaxed indica strain with a mind numbing high. The bud is light green, with spots of dark green, and clusters of dark orange hairs, light coat of trichomes. Does not omit a strong scent, but when smelled up close, it is very sharp, and fruity. It is very dense compact buds, yet easily broken apart, and handled. The effects kick in gradually, as if your head was slowly being depressurized, the high creeps out of you as slowly as it crept in. In all i would very much enjoy getting this strain again in the future.

-Good for head aches/insomnia/migraines
-Very relaxed high
-THC Content: 10-15%

New supply at VIP coop in Burbank.

Avalanche is a mostly sativa hybrid, well known for being one of the highest yielding strains. It has dark green leaves but the trichomes make it look white and sugar coated. It has a very strong fruit smell, but not overwhelming. You still get that great marijuana scent. The buds are dense and easy to manage, after a few tokes I was on my ass on the couch (out of it!). It’s a smooth smoke with a great fruity taste. It has a long lasting cerebral/euphoric high that will slowly fade throughout the body. It got me going around not knowing what I was after, but still allows you to get work done.

-Great Sleep promotor.
-THC Content: 16%+

Cheese, the name says it all, literally it smells and tastes like cheese. It kind of reminds me of the days in grade school when i would pop open some good ol’ cheese Cheetos. The taste is kind of like a fusion of fresh cheese and Marijuana, thus very pleasant. The smoke was very smooth, not hard at all, allowing a massive hits! Cheese is a light green color, (I’m still talking about the weed) with compacted buds, its not brittle at all. With a moderate amount of pistils and trichomes. This Strain is very fun, definitely when your out with friends. The high creeps up on you through your face down to your neck area. non-stop laughs and surly is going to be hard to take that smile off your face. Definitely brings up your appetite almost instantly. Great for people suffering eating disorders. Also can help with depression issues, the high is very happy/uplifting type.

-Good for apatite
-Could help with depression.
-THC Content: Mild 10-15%

Newly arrived at the GreenDragonCoop, Van nuys, CA.

Green Crack is mostly sativa, it smells like very ripe and fresh greens, the smoke is mild and tastes of burnt greens that doesn’t get you into a cough-lock. It is a very light and subtle high, with a “airy” effect… making me feel very light, like I had a thin sheet pulled over me which made everything more clear and received things with much more detail. I packed another bowl, and I started on my nightly jog, and before i knew it I had passed the point that I had been too exhausted to pass before without even realizing it. I would say this is good for patients suffering from glaucoma, insomnia, and personally I say this is a good all around effect, that does not restrict you from anything you might want to do, very up-lifting and social high.

-THC Content: 15%
