Kimchi
Also known as: Kimchi OG
What is the Kimchi strain?
Kimchi is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Kimchi is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by Symbiotic Genetics, the renowned breeding duo established by The Village and the Budologist in 2014. This strain is the result of crossing STR8 Lemonade with Kombucha, creating a unique genetic profile that combines citrusy diesel characteristics with fruity punch influences. The strain gained recognition when growers were testing multiple phenotypes, with Kimchi standing out as a particularly impressive variety. Despite its name referencing the famous Korean fermented dish, this cannabis plant smells nothing like pickled kimchi, instead delivering complex aromatic profiles that are both fruity and gassy. The strain has earned acclaim in competitive cannabis circles and represents the innovative breeding approach that has made Symbiotic Genetics a leader in the industry. This is a lime green color plant with both orange and brown hairs featured, and as the time for harvest approaches, the hairs become more prominent and more colorful. It is often mistaken for OG Kush because they are so similar in appearance.
