The OG #18 cannabis strain came about from the recurrence of a quality phenotype of OG Kush. Once it became obvious that this pheno was something special with fantastic taste, potency and growth habits, Reserva Privada decided to back cross her, and so OG #18 was created. In comparison with the original OG Kush, OG #18 has a sourer tang like the Chemdawg but with all the potency of the OG/Chem. She performs better in the grow room too with an increase in yield of up to 33% over the OG Kush. Buds are large and very compact and can stretch a bit right throughout the flowering period. By harvest time buds are shiny with resin and crystal, making this a very satisfying plant to grow. OG #18 grows with heavy lateral branching which the smart grower can work in his/her favour by using LST or SCROG techniques. This is a robust plant and she will also flourish with a minimum of intervention. This, coupled with good mold resistance, would make OG #18 seem a great choice for novice growers. She is sensitive to temperature fluctuations and spider mites however, so keep a keen eye on her. OG #18 is a stinker in the grow room so take care if you have nosey neighbors. In the smoking room the aroma has that Kushy muskiness mixed in with sour undertones. The hit is like rocket fuel. This is a brutal Indica and is very prone to couch lock. The high is intense and best saved for the evening time when you’re cosy and safe in your home.
