Purple OG Kush
Also known as: Purple Kush, Purple OG
Overview
Purple OG Kush is a hybrid strain derived from a cross between Purple Kush and Cali OG Kush, showcasing a mostly indica genetic lineage. This marriage of Kush variants combines the robust, earthy qualities of Purple Kush with the noted potency of Cali OG Kush, resulting in a strain that enhances the defining characteristics of its ancestry. Breeders in Oakland, California stabilized it in the mid-1990s by crossing two pure indica landraces: Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani. Both parents originated in Afghanistan/Pakistan, giving Purple Kush a classic Kush heritage. The strain has gained considerable recognition for its striking visual appeal and potent therapeutic properties.
This illustrious hybrid combines the genetics of OG Kush with those of Purple Kush, resulting in a strain that captivates with its striking purple and green buds, enveloped in a glossy sheen of crystalline trichomes. This aesthetic beauty is complemented by an enticing aroma that blends earthy undertones with hints of sweet grape and subtle spices, offering a sensory experience as profound as its visual appeal. The THC content ranges from 16% to 20%, while CBD remains around 1%. This strain is particularly renowned for its high THC levels which substantially contribute to its effects. Purple OG Kush is celebrated within the cannabis community for its deeply sedating properties and rich genetic background, making it a distinguished member of the extensive Kush strain family.
