OJ
Also known as: Orange Juice, OJ Kush
OJ Strain Overview
OJ is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain known for its distinctive citrus aroma and flavor profile that closely resembles fresh orange juice. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within the cannabis community, but most sources agree it likely emerged from California's medical cannabis scene in the early 2010s. Breeders sought to create a strain with pronounced citrus characteristics while maintaining balanced effects suitable for both daytime and evening use.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a crystalline appearance. The nugs often display various shades of green with occasional orange pistils weaving through the foliage. The most notable feature of OJ is its aromatic profile, which delivers a powerful burst of sweet citrus upon breaking apart the buds, reminiscent of freshly squeezed oranges with subtle earthy undertones.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, OJ has developed a dedicated following among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its reliable effects and distinctive flavor. The strain represents a successful attempt to capture specific terpene profiles associated with citrus fruits while maintaining the psychoactive properties expected from quality cannabis genetics. Its balanced nature makes it suitable for various consumption occasions, though individual experiences may vary based on cultivation methods and phenotype expression.

OJ Strain Growing Information
OJ is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) and respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in dense bud structures. The strain's strong aroma during flowering requires adequate carbon filtration for indoor grows.
