OG Kush Seeds

Genetics & effects

OG Kush is an enduringly popular feminised cultivar with a balanced 55% indica and 45% sativa profile. Its lineage is commonly reported as ChemDawg × Lemon Thai × Pakistani, although the exact family tree remains disputed. Kiwi Seed Bank presents this item as part of its feminised seed catalogue.

THC content is commonly listed between 19% and 26%, with CBD from 0% to 0.5%. Individual experiences vary, but users often describe an initially euphoric, happy or uplifting character that may settle into deep relaxation and sleepiness. The aromatic profile combines earthy pine and woody spice with fresh citrus. Myrcene, limonene and beta-caryophyllene are the principal terpenes associated with these distinctive notes.

Growing in New Zealand

OG Kush is considered an intermediate-level option. It generally favours temperate or hot, dry conditions and benefits from attentive humidity management. In New Zealand, local conditions can differ greatly between northern, central and southern areas, so growers should account for rainfall, coastal moisture, wind exposure and cooler nights.

For seasonal outdoor cultivation, spring planting falls between September and November. Choose a sunny, sheltered position with free-draining soil and good airflow. Avoid persistently damp sites, as dense flowers can be vulnerable to mould when moisture remains trapped around the canopy. Checking plants after rain and supporting branches as flowers gain weight may reduce risk late in the season.

Indoor

Indoors, OG Kush typically reaches around 90–160 cm. Its moderate stretch can be managed through early canopy shaping and suitable spacing. Consistent ventilation and air movement are useful around its closely packed flowers, while stable temperature and humidity can support steady development.

• Flowering time: approximately 8–9 weeks
• Indicative indoor yield: 350–475 g/m²
• Experience level: intermediate

Lower growth may be thinned selectively to improve airflow and focus light across the main canopy. Avoid excessive handling or major structural work once flowering is well advanced.

Outdoor

Outdoor plants may reach approximately 150–200 cm where space, sunlight and weather are favourable. A warm position with protection from strong winds is ideal. In wetter districts, extra spacing and a rain-sheltered location can help keep foliage and flowers drier. Regular observation is particularly worthwhile as autumn temperatures fall.

• Indicative outdoor yield: 400–550 g per plant
• Preferred climates: temperate, hot and dry
• Typical stature: medium to tall

Harvest

New Zealand’s usual outdoor harvest window is March–May. Timing depends on planting date, region, phenotype and seasonal weather. Look for overall flower maturity rather than relying on the calendar alone. Harvesting during a dry spell, followed by careful drying in a dark, ventilated space, helps preserve the cultivar’s earthy, pine, citrus, woody and spicy character. Published height, cannabinoid, flowering and yield figures are indicative ranges; individual plants and growing environments can vary.
