What is the Private Reserve strain?
Private Reserve is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Private Reserve, also known as OG #18, is an award-winning hybrid strain and a notable phenotype of the legendary OG Kush. This strain emerged from DNA Genetics' Reserva Privada line in the late 2000s as a standout phenotype selected from an OG Kush seed population for its heavier yield, denser resin coverage, and more diesel-forward nose than many OG cuts. Private Reserve was a High Times Cannabis Cup winner in both 2009 and 2010, cementing its reputation in cannabis competitions. The strain represents the evolution of classic OG Kush genetics with improved cultivation characteristics while maintaining the signature effects and flavor profile that made OG Kush famous. Private Reserve is considered a well-balanced hybrid that offers consumers an array of effects that are both cerebral and physical, with THC levels fluctuating in the 20s. These forest green buds are covered with bright orange hairs and emit a scent that's a mixture of pine, sour citrus, and sugar while its flavor leaves a sweet aftertaste.

How do you grow Private Reserve?
Indoor flowering time is approximately 9 weeks (63 days). The flowering cycle leads to impressive yields in the range of 500g/m². Plants typically stretch 1.5-2.0x after flowering begins and form medium-height plants with moderate stretch consistent with OG Kush behavior. Hand trimming reveals sticky, sand-like trichome breakup that coats scissors quickly, with resin often bleeding through gloves during peak maturity. Microscopic inspection around week 8 commonly shows a dense field of cloudy heads with 5-15% amber. Known to be nutrient-hungry like other OG genetics, requiring regular feeding especially calcium and magnesium during bloom. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with proper environmental controls.
