OBG Kush
Also known as: Original Black Gold Kush, Original Black Gold
What is the OBG Kush strain?
OBG Kush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.
OBG Kush, also known as Original Black Gold Kush, is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure, with breeders keeping specific lineage details closely guarded. What is known is that it represents a carefully selected phenotype from the broader Kush family, bred specifically for its distinctive dark coloration and potent effects. The strain gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its unique appearance and powerful relaxation properties, though it never achieved the widespread commercial distribution of more mainstream Kush varieties.
Visually, OBG Kush is notable for its striking dark coloration, which gives the strain its 'Black Gold' moniker. The buds typically display deep purple to almost black hues with contrasting bright orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The dark pigmentation results from high concentrations of anthocyanins, which develop under certain growing conditions, particularly cooler nighttime temperatures. The buds are dense and tightly packed, characteristic of indica varieties, with a structure that makes them suitable for various consumption methods.
The strain's rarity means that comprehensive information is limited compared to more widely documented varieties. What information exists comes primarily from grower reports and user experiences rather than formal laboratory studies or breeder documentation. This relative obscurity has contributed to OBG Kush's status as a 'hidden gem' within certain cannabis communities, though its limited availability means many users may never encounter it outside specific regional markets or specialized dispensaries.

How do you grow OBG Kush?
OBG Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for experienced growers. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature can be carefully managed, particularly during the flowering stage when cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60-65°F/15-18°C) help develop the characteristic dark coloration. Plants tend to remain relatively short and bushy, typical of indica varieties, reaching heights of 3-4 feet (90-120 cm) indoors and 4-6 feet (120-180 cm) outdoors. Yield is moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-16 ounces per square meter (400-450 grams/m²) and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant (450-550 grams/plant). The strain requires careful nutrient management and is somewhat sensitive to overwatering. Proper air circulation is important to prevent mold in the dense buds.
