Cali OG Kush

Descriptions of Cali OG Kush largely agree on aroma, but not on lineage. Diesel and lemon appear in both strain descriptions and consumer reports, supplemented by earthy, cheesy, or spicy notes. The name, which also covers the spellings Cali OG, Kali OG, and Kali OG Kush, does not correspond to a single family tree. No original breeder is documented, one strain description lists the parent strains as unknown, and two seed banks sell crosses with different parent lines under this name.

Aroma and Flavor:

Other strain descriptions highlight diesel, cheese, and lemon. One consumer report mentions a scent reminiscent of limes with a deep gas note, while another described the taste as strongly earthy and diesel-like. BSB Genetics combines lemon and fuel with sweetness and a hint of spice in the description of its version and attributes a fruity note with a tropical touch to the aroma. Crop King Seeds names pine, earth, and citrus for the strain it sells as Cali OG.

Two sources give the terpene profile, with different rankings. One strain description places limonene first, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene. An evaluation of lab certificates from various products of this strain instead averages 1.40 % myrcene, 0.38 % caryophyllene, 0.28 % linalool, and 0.26 % limonene; how many samples were included and which labs tested them remains unclear. The same evaluation summarizes the aroma as earthy and spicy with hints of clove and musk.

Effects:

The consumer reports reviewed describe an uplifted, euphoric mood, at times combined with focus and creative impulses, along with physical relaxation. One report on pressed hashish made from this strain describes a fast euphoric onset that transitions into a warm effect on head and body, without nervousness or immobilizing heaviness. Another report puts relaxation in the foreground and mentions heavy eyelids and a dry mouth; a third mentions sexual arousal alongside euphoria. Strain descriptions list dry mouth, dry eyes, and paranoia as side effects.

THC and CBD Content:

One strain description without breeder attribution states 13 % THC and 0 % CBD, another gives 22 to 28 % THC, without disclosing the underlying measurements. The breeders state their own values: BSB Genetics gives 20 % THC for its Cali OG Kush, Crop King Seeds gives 24 % for its strain of the same name and 20 to 24 % THC with less than 1 % CBD for the cross sold as Cali OG.

Versions from Different Breeders:

BSB Genetics offers Cali OG Kush as feminized seeds and names Lemon Thai, Pakistani, and Chemdawg as the genetics; the breeder states Humboldt County, California, as the origin. The plant is said to be indica-dominant and to stay short and compact, which according to the breeder makes it suitable for indoor growing and for discreet outdoor locations. The breeder states a flowering time of 8 weeks and a yield of 450 to 500 g/m².

Crop King Seeds, in contrast, lists Cali OG Kush as a feminized cross of Amnesia Haze and OG Kush with origin in Northern California, at 70 % Sativa and 30 % Indica. For this version, the seller states a flowering time of 9 to 10 weeks, 500 g/m² indoors, and 300 g per plant outdoors. Crop King gives the same parent strains for Cali OG Kush Haze and for the sativa-dominant Cali OG. For the latter, the description states 8 to 10 weeks of flowering, 450 to 550 g/m² indoors, 600 to 700 g per plant outdoors, and a harvest from early to mid-October, along with dense, resin-rich buds, resistance to pests, and a preference for warm, sunny locations with moderate humidity.
