OG Kush XL
Also known as: OG Kush Extra Large, OG Kush Extended
What is the OG Kush XL strain?
OG Kush XL is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
OG Kush XL is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed as an enhanced version of the classic OG Kush. While the exact breeding history is not always clearly documented by seed banks, this strain appears to be a stabilized phenotype selection or a deliberate cross that amplifies certain characteristics of the original OG Kush, particularly focusing on increased yield and potency while maintaining the distinctive sensory profile. The strain emerged in the 2010s as cultivators sought to improve upon the legendary but sometimes finicky OG Kush genetics.
Visually, OG Kush XL typically produces dense, resin-coated buds that maintain the classic OG Kush structure but often in larger colas. The flowers display various shades of green, frequently with purple or blue hues brought out by cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, and a thick layer of trichomes gives them a frosty appearance. The strain's name reflects both its genetic heritage and its cultivation characteristics, with 'XL' suggesting enhanced size or yield potential compared to standard OG Kush phenotypes.
OG Kush XL retains the complex aromatic profile that made its parent famous, combining earthy, pine, and citrus notes with a distinctive fuel-like undertone. The flavor profile is similarly complex, often described as a blend of lemon, pine, and spice with a smooth, expansive smoke. While not as historically significant as the original OG Kush, this variant represents the ongoing evolution of cannabis genetics through selective breeding for specific cultivation and consumption preferences.

How do you grow OG Kush XL?
OG Kush XL is generally considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields can reach 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often requiring some height management techniques like low-stress training. OG Kush XL prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. Some phenotypes may benefit from additional support for heavy colas. The strain responds well to most training techniques and nutrient regimens, though careful attention to feeding schedules is recommended to avoid nutrient burn.
