Created Strains
San Fernando Valley OG Kush
**San Fernando Valley OG Kush** (SFV OG Kush) is a legendary West Coast hybrid that has become a cornerstone of modern cannabis genetics. Originating from the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, this strain represents a refined phenotype of the original OG Kush lineage. With a **60% indica / 40% sativa** genetic profile and THC levels consistently reaching **22-23%**, it delivers a powerful, balanced experience that has made it a favorite among both medical and recreational users. **The Experience:** The effects begin with a cerebral uplift characterized by euphoria and mental clarity, courtesy of its sativa heritage. This gradually transitions into a deeply relaxing body stone that melts away tension without causing excessive sedation. The combination makes it excellent for evening use when you want to unwind but remain functional. **Terpene Profile:** Dominated by **myrcene**, which contributes to its sedative and muscle-relaxant properties, SFV OG Kush also features significant amounts of **limonene** (for mood elevation) and **caryophyllene** (for anti-inflammatory effects). This creates a complex aromatic profile of skunky earth, sharp pine, and undertones of lemon and spice. **Medical Applications:** Particularly effective for managing **chronic pain, stress, and anxiety**. Its ability to stimulate appetite makes it valuable for patients undergoing chemotherapy or suffering from eating disorders. Many users also report relief from **insomnia** when using higher doses. **Cultivation Notes:** Grows best in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be managed. Plants develop dense, resin-coated buds with distinctive orange pistils. While not the easiest strain for beginners, experienced growers appreciate its reliable structure and rewarding yields.
Abusive OG
Abusive OG is a powerful indica-dominant hybrid that lives up to its intense name. A phenotype of the legendary OG Kush, this strain delivers a heavy, sedative effect that's perfect for evening use. With THC levels often reaching 24% or higher, it produces a strong cerebral euphoria that quickly melts into full-body relaxation. The high myrcene content contributes to its classic 'couch-lock' effect, making it excellent for pain relief and insomnia. Growers appreciate its dense, resinous buds that carry the signature OG aroma with extra fuel-like pungency. **Key Characteristics:** - Potent sedative effects ideal for nighttime - High THC content with minimal CBD - Classic OG Kush structure with dark green buds and orange pistils - Strong skunky diesel aroma with earthy undertones

The strain is celebrated for its **powerful body relaxation** combined with a **clear, euphoric cerebral lift**, making it a favorite among both recreational and medicinal users. **Key Characteristics:** - **Genetics:** OG Kush phenotype - **Appearance:** Dense, resin-coated buds with dark green leaves and vibrant orange pistils - **Effects:** Begins with cerebral euphoria that transitions into deep physical relaxation - **Medical Use:** Particularly effective for evening/nighttime use due to its sedative properties **Growing Notes:** SFV OG requires some experience to cultivate successfully. It prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and benefits from training techniques like topping and LST to maximize yield. The plant produces a moderate amount of resinous buds that emit a strong, fuel-like aroma during flowering.
Tahoe OG Kush
**Tahoe OG Kush** is a classic West Coast indica-dominant hybrid that has maintained legendary status since the 1990s. This phenotype of the original OG Kush was specifically cultivated in the Lake Tahoe region, where it developed its distinctive heavy, sedating effects and complex aromatic profile. **Genetics & Lineage:** A phenotype of the original OG Kush (likely a cross of Chemdawg, Hindu Kush, and Lemon Thai). The 'Tahoe' cut is prized for its exceptional resin production and consistent effects. **Appearance & Structure:** Dense, chunky buds with a classic Kush structure. The nugs are forest green with vibrant orange pistils and are absolutely caked in a thick layer of milky white trichomes, giving them a frosty, silver appearance. **Effects & Medicinal Profile:** The high is profoundly physical and cerebral. It begins with a swift, euphoric head rush that clears mental chatter, followed by a deep, full-body relaxation that melts away tension. It is renowned for its **powerful sedative qualities**, making it a top-tier choice for evening use. Medicinally, it is a staple for treating chronic pain, severe stress, anxiety disorders, and insomnia. **Cultivation Notes:** Prefers a stable, Mediterranean-like climate. It responds well to training techniques like SCROG or topping to manage its somewhat stretchy growth during the flowering stretch. Growers should watch for humidity-related issues (like powdery mildew) during the final weeks due to its dense bud structure. The yield is respectable for a Kush variety, producing aromatic, resinous flowers after an 8-week flowering period.
