Original Gangster Strain Overview
Original Gangster, also known as Gangster OG or Gangster Kush, is a rare heavily sativa-dominant hybrid strain with a 90% sativa to 10% indica ratio. Created through crossing classic 5K OG X 98 and Aloha White Widow strains, this cultivar represents a unique fusion of diverse genetics that produces a distinctive cannabinoid and terpene profile. The strain emerged in the 1990s and has since become a staple in the cannabis community, particularly valued for its stimulating effects and moderate THC content that makes it accessible to both novice and experienced users.
Visually, Original Gangster buds are characterized by dense, rounded golf ball-sized dark olive green nuggets with bright pink to rusty orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty white crystal trichomes. The strain exhibits the classic OG Kush structure with tall, stacking chunky triangular formations that branch off from each other. Its appearance is complemented by occasional purple shadings and an open organic leafy structure that showcases the inner trichomes. The abundant resinous coating is testament to the strain's potency and quality, making it highly sought after among cannabis connoisseurs.
