Overview
Empire OG, also known as 'Empire' or 'Empire OG Kush,' is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) created through crossing the iconic Candy Kush and OG Kush strains. Famous for its delicious flavor and soothing effects, Empire OG has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its potent therapeutic properties and distinctive characteristics. The strain produces fat, oversized, and dense teardrop-shaped olive green nugs with abundant yellow-orange hairs and a coating of tiny, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. Empire OG is renowned for its sweet and sugary berry candy flavor profile, inherited from its Candy Kush parent, combined with a kushy hint of spiciness. The aroma presents a complex bouquet featuring spicy earthy overtones accented by sweet fruity candies and woody pine notes, making it highly appealing to both recreational and medicinal users.
