Original Royal Kush
Also known as: Royal Kush, Royal OG Kush
What is the Original Royal Kush strain?
Original Royal Kush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Original Royal Kush is a classic indica-dominant cannabis strain that has maintained popularity since its emergence in the early 2000s. The strain is believed to have originated in the Los Angeles area, where it gained recognition among medical cannabis patients and recreational users for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, it is generally accepted as a phenotype of the broader OG Kush family, specifically selected for its royal purple coloration and exceptional resin production.
The strain is characterized by dense, compact buds that often display striking purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, with orange pistils weaving through the dense calyx structure. The aroma is complex, blending earthy Kush undertones with sweet, fruity notes and a hint of pine. The flavor profile follows suit, offering a smooth smoke with earthy, woody notes complemented by subtle citrus and berry accents.
Original Royal Kush has maintained a dedicated following due to its consistent quality and reliable effects. While not as widely commercialized as some other Kush varieties, it remains a sought-after strain among connoisseurs who appreciate its classic indica characteristics and balanced effects. The strain's stability and predictable growth patterns have also made it a favorite among cultivators looking for a reliable, high-yielding indica with exceptional bag appeal.

How do you grow Original Royal Kush?
Original Royal Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest outdoors in late September to early October. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean climates. Plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Original Royal Kush responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. The plants are moderately resistant to common molds and pests but require good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense. Cooler nighttime temperatures (around 15-18°C) during late flowering can enhance the purple coloration of the buds.
