Koji OG
Also known as: Koji Kush
Koji OG Strain Overview
Koji OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition in the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated among cultivators, but it is generally believed to have emerged from the Bay Area's medical cannabis community in the early 2010s. Breeders sought to combine the potent effects of classic OG Kush varieties with unique flavor profiles, resulting in this distinctive cultivar. The name 'Koji' is thought to reference either a specific breeder's handle or possibly draw inspiration from the Japanese fermentation starter used in sake and soy sauce production, though this connection remains speculative.
Visually, Koji OG typically produces dense, chunky buds with a classic OG structure—compact and resinous. The flowers exhibit deep forest green hues often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes that give the buds a frosty appearance. The strain's foliage may display subtle purple undertones when grown in cooler temperatures, adding to its visual appeal. The buds are known for their sticky texture and dense formation, making them popular among concentrate producers.
Koji OG has established itself as a reliable commercial strain due to its consistent growth patterns and desirable effects profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream varieties, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced hybrid effects and complex aromatic profile. The strain represents the ongoing evolution of the OG Kush family, demonstrating how breeders continue to develop new expressions of this foundational cannabis lineage.

Koji OG Strain Growing Information
Koji OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The plants exhibit a medium height with a bushy structure characteristic of OG varieties, requiring some training and pruning to manage canopy height and improve light penetration. Koji OG prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors—warm days with moderate humidity. Indoor cultivation benefits from temperature-controlled environments with good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though soil cultivation may enhance the terpene profile. Regular feeding with balanced nutrients is recommended, with particular attention during the flowering phase when resin production peaks.
