How to grow Barney’s Farm’s OG Kush

OG Kush is the strain other strains are made of. Look down this menu: Cookies, Wedding Cake, Bubba, Critical Kush, Bruce Banner — she's in all of them. Chemdawg crossed with Lemon Thai and Hindu Kush, and thirty years later half of everything smells faintly of her. Growing the original is a bit like meeting the parent after knowing the kids: familiar, and clearer about where everything came from.

She's 70% indica, 100–120cm, flowers in 55–65 days, and her reputation for fussiness is mostly a reputation for being grown carelessly. What she actually wants is consistency: steady pH — she'll show you lockout faster than most if it wanders — a feed that arrives on time without arriving heavy, and no drama. Boring competence, rewarded.

The smell is the plant

Sour citrus, pine, skunk and that petrol edge underneath — the profile everyone means when they say something smells "dank". It's genetic (scored here), it's loud from mid-flower, and it does not respect wardrobe doors. If discretion matters, size the carbon filter before week five rather than after the neighbours mention it. She'll land around 24% THC with the fundamentals done right, and a proper cure is what turns her from strong to classic.

Who's she for? The grower who wants to understand the family tree by growing its root — and doesn't mind their house smelling of history.

FAQ

Is OG Kush hard to grow? Moderate. She punishes sloppy pH and erratic feeding more than most, and rewards a stable routine. Consistency is the entire trick.

Why does my OG Kush smell so strong? Because she's OG Kush. The loud sour-fuel profile is the genetics working as intended. A properly sized carbon filter is part of growing her, not an accessory.

When do I harvest OG Kush? 55–65 days in — but read the trichomes, not the calendar. She finishes when she's cloudy, not when the packet says.
