Gorilla Girl is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a cross between 2 of the very strongest US strains Gorilla Glue and Girl Scout Cookies. There are several different GSC pheno-types and the specific one used for this cross is known as Thin Mints. Spectacular resin production and very high levels of THC are a given. Gorilla Girl is 60% sativa and this is reflected in its long side-branches. Indoor yields are good at 400 – 550 gr/m2 in a flowering period of 9 weeks. Outdoors 350 – 600 gr/plant can be harvested at the end of September in northern latitudes. Resin production is off the scale and calyxes and smaller leaves will be liberally covered in sticky goo. Flavours and scents are incredibly intense and aromatic with wood (cypress), earth and citrus being the most notable. THC levels are very high at 19 – 25% and the very experienced and conscientious grower will likely be able to increase this level still further. CBD on the other hand is very low at just 0.1%.

OG Kush plants  hail from a popular strain that has served as the basis for many cannabis varieties developed on the American west coast. Though its actual origin is shrouded in mystery, OG Kush’s first cannabis seeds are thought to have been taken from Florida to California in the early 90s.

OG Kush Meaning

Many growers agree OG Kush is descended from Chemdawg, and possibly Hindu Kush or another Kush variety. OG is believed to stand for “Ocean Growth,” a nod to the strain’s coastal roots.

OG Kush Indica or Sativa?

The mysterious origins of this well-known strain are not the only reason recreational and medical users alike are drawn to the plant. A nearly balanced hybrid, Growers Choice OG Kush offers the benefits of both sativa and indica strains, providing dedicated relief for a wide range of symptoms and conditions.

Medical Effects of OG Kush

OG Kush’s trichome-coated, neon green buds have an early effect of heavy euphoria, paired with a combination physical and mental high. As a result, most users find the strain leaves them with a relaxed and happy feeling and, quite often, a case of body-numbing couch lock. These trance-like sensations make OG Kush best suited to evening use, though whether you’re seeking therapy or just a good time is entirely up to you. Medically, OG Kush is a great choice for easing or eliminating pain – when the couch-lock effect kicks in, your tensed and knotted muscles and aching joints will be able to fully relax and unclench. The strain can also be useful in treating migraines, stress, and attention disorders, and some users have reported benefits to symptoms of depression, bi-polar disorder, and PTSD. A stomach-calming side effect can fend off nausea brought on by any number of conditions, including cancer-fighting chemo- or radiation therapy.
