Old Favorites Made New Again

Bud Basics

Very few strains can claim the legacy of being a genetic ancestor of most West Coast strains available today, but OG Kush Autoflower has that lofty title - and for good reason, as her tasty flavors, high THC and intense body-stone make this herb one of the most well-loved (and quite possibly most famous) hybrids around.

Though her heritage is something of a mystery, breeders have put their heads together to decipher the puzzle that is OG Kush, and the results are in: by combining the signature diesel aromas of Chemdawg with the citrus notes and Sativa buzz of Lemon Thai and the oh-so-hoppy Old World Paki Kush, the resultant strain has become a legend.

Full of earth, pine and classic pungent fuel-like notes, this herb is balanced with sour citrus and spice notes that make for an intense experience on the taste buds. And you’ll still be relishing her complex flavor as the high kicks in, fast-acting and potent at 27% THC, with a Sativa side that has you awash with happiness in mere moments.

Though the high is long-lasting, OG Kush Auto’s Indica side soon sweeps in to dominate those cerebral effects with a heavy, leaden relaxation that soothes and sedates.

Properly utilized, the strong Indica side of this ganja is a great option as a pain-reliever, and is well-loved by medicinal tokers seeking a reprieve from migraines and arthritis, as well as more psychological conditions such as stress and anxiety.

Growing this ganja is simplified, as by breeding with a Northern Lights auto variant, OG Kush Autoflower was created for your convenience, already feminized. It’s hard to go wrong with autoflowering strains, and those looking to develop their growing skills will find no trouble with this weed - you can almost leave her entirely alone, and she’ll still yield a nice stash of nugs for you in 10 to 12 weeks.

Flavor and Fragrance of OG Kush Autoflower

Aromatic with tantalizing tastes and scents, OG Kush Auto is abundant with notes of earth and pine, that stand out over the initial pungent diesel fragrance. Once combusted, subtle spicy notes with nuances of sour citrus and wood come through to further intensify the flavors into a rich, complex smoke.

Effects

Since this strain has a THC content that measures up to a whopping 27%, no one could possibly argue that OG Kush Autoflower isn’t potent as hell. Fast-hitting and long-lasting, her high comes on almost immediately after the first toke, starting with her Sativa side to overwhelm your mind with happiness and flush out unpleasant thoughts.

This herb's Indica side will kick in shortly after her euphoric head buzz begins, bringing you down into a full-bodied and intense relaxation that frankly borders on bliss. In higher doses, this might sedate and lead to couchlock, but in moderation is likely to leave you basking in a soothing body-stone.

As all this begins to wind down, OG Kush continues to relax your body to the point of drowsiness, and it’s almost guaranteed that your limbs and eyelids will begin to feel heavier.

She’s 100% a strain for the late afternoon or evening, as daytime tasks become impossible after taking a few tokes of this herb. And of course, there’s the potent and impossible to ignore munchies effect she induces.

Medical Uses of OG Kush Autoflower

Bursting with psychoactive properties, OG Kush Autoflower has a long list of medical benefits that have been utilized by the medicinal marijuana (MMJ) community for years.

Since the cerebral head-highs of this strain are sure to enhance mood, this herb can be particularly beneficial for those seeking reprieve from the symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression and even PTSD.

As an analgesic, OG Kush Auto can help to mitigate the aches and pains from maladies such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines and PMS, though is not a long-term solution.

When the effects of this weed begin to lessen, you’ll be struck by some serious hunger pangs - so those struggling with lack of appetite will find this strain particularly helpful. In addition, most find that the intense-body stone of this ganja sets them on the path to dreamland, and many tokers suffering from insomnia have reported a hit of this herb does the trick.

Since OG Kush Autoflower has particularly high levels of THC, those with a sensitivity should avoid and opt for a milder strain. Newbies, too, could be at risk of adverse side effects beyond the usual dry eyes and mouth. In high doses, this herb can induce dizziness, headaches, increased anxiety and heightened paranoia.

Growing OG Kush Autoflower Seeds

As you might expect from an autoflowering strain, OG Kush Auto is a fast grower, flowers quickly and is suitable for those new to cannabis cultivation looking to try their hand at something new and develop their skills. Needing almost no real attention, she grows just as well out in the open air as she does indoors, in a controlled environment.

To ensure you get the most out of your yield, stick to a 20/4 light schedule for the entirety of her life cycle. If you prefer, try utilizing a Sea of Green (SOG) setup, which is often associated with helping the plants to flower earlier and produce more - but with OG Kush isn’t likely to do much more for your harvest than any other training method, and she’ll be just fine even if you leave her alone.

Regardless of which route you choose, your yield size will be around 1.31 ounces of pungent nugs per square foot of plants.

Outdoor growers will find that OG Kush Autoflower can be planted at any time of the year, though we’d recommend avoiding the colder seasons, and she (like most strains) still prefers a warm, semi-humid and Mediterranean-esque environment. When grown at the optimal times of year (between April and October), you should be able to harvest between 2.1 and 5.3 ounces of buds per plant.

Summary

Popular as a recreational strain due to her stress-sweeping, cerebral Sativa side and intense body-stone, OG Kush Autoflower is also well-loved by the MMJ masses for her ability to soothe every sore muscle and ease every aching bone.

Brimming with fuel and lemon notes, this pot is potent with high THC levels and capable of knocking flat even seasoned smokers.

Since she’s feminized, autoflowering, sturdy and resilient, newbie growers can’t go wrong with OG Kush Autoflower - very little care or attention is required (if any) for her to thrive, and training techniques have little to no effect on her yield, so aren’t necessary. She’s not dependent on light cycles, and can be sown at any time of year with a fast grow rate - really there are no downsides to this variant of one of the weed world’s most famous strains, and no novice has any excuse not to get her a go.
