Roadkill OG
Also known as: Roadkill, Roadkill OG Kush
What is the Roadkill OG strain?
Roadkill OG is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and diesel and earthy flavor profile.
Roadkill OG is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain known for its distinctive pungent aroma that has been compared to skunk spray or roadkill, hence its memorable name. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within cannabis cultivation circles, but it is widely believed to be a phenotype of OG Kush that was selectively bred to emphasize its most extreme aromatic characteristics. Breeders focused on stabilizing the strain's unique terpene profile while maintaining the powerful effects characteristic of the OG Kush lineage.
The strain produces dense, resinous buds that are typically dark green with occasional purple hues and covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The buds are often chunky and tightly packed, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the calyxes. Roadkill OG's most notable feature is its exceptionally strong odor, which combines skunky, diesel-like aromas with earthy undertones and hints of pine. This intense fragrance makes proper odor control essential for both cultivators and consumers.
Roadkill OG gained popularity in the early 2000s within the California medical cannabis community before spreading to other legal markets. Its reputation stems from both its memorable aroma and its powerful, long-lasting effects that are characteristic of classic indica strains. The strain has maintained a dedicated following despite the development of newer varieties, particularly among consumers who appreciate traditional, pungent cannabis aromas and deeply relaxing effects.

Roadkill OG is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its strong odor that requires excellent ventilation and carbon filtration systems. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants may produce 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors, making them suitable for both cultivation environments. Roadkill OG prefers a warm, dry climate with consistent temperatures and benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to improve light penetration and yield. The strain is somewhat resistant to common pests and molds but requires careful monitoring of humidity levels during flowering to prevent bud rot, especially given its dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding.
