Og Kush
OG Kush is not a terpene but rather a foundational cannabis strain whose name is often misused in terpene discussions. The original OG Kush lineage, documented from 1990s California cultivation, became so genetically influential that breeders frequently reference its aromatic profile when describing resinous, fuel-forward plants. Plants in the OG Kush family are commonly associated with elevated levels of myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, producing earthy, citrus, and spicy aromatic signatures. Understanding OG Kush as a breeding lineage—rather than a single terpene—helps clarify how modern strains inherit and express specific volatile compound profiles.

Breeders working with OG Kush genetics use it as a parent stock to stabilize resinous plant structure, vigor, and aromatic consistency across hybrid crosses. Its documented genetic stability and recognized terpene expression make it a reference point for developing new cultivars within fuel-forward or dessert-cannabis categories.
