This Indica-dominant hybrid (70/30) was bred by 3rd Gen Family Farms out of California. Its parents, Silver Haze and Kush, are not known as heavy-hitters. This is probably why their kid, OZ Kush, rarely makes it into the 20s in terms of THC. Despite this, OZ Kush uses what it’s got, laying on a thick serving of relaxation to give its users a sedating, heavy high. The strain is warm and reassuring. It comes at you in sleepy waves, encouraging you to take it easy and sleep, like a comforting friend in cannabis form.

In around 9 to 11 weeks on average, OZ Kush begins to flower, around October if you’re cultivating it outdoors. You may notice that this is long for a Kush strain. The Silver Haze genes probably prolong it a bit, but you’ll forgive your plants when the mid-sized growing structure begins putting out its neon green product. The strain grows in hard, reinforced clumps, bright green and speckled with thin, yellow pistils. It can be cultivated inside or outside and always produces a medium-sized yield.

As you break the OZ Kush nugs apart in your hands, hard and lumpy as they are, they’ll begin dispensing a flavorful aroma of light, outdoorsy sensations, including woody flavors and earth tones. As you begin smoking, the smell of pine trees and citrus will fill your room as the high starts to creep in.

OZ Kush’s effects work in whispers that build gradually from a tingle to a wave of warmth. The strain will spread its buzzy tendrils throughout your body, dulling your senses and creating an atmosphere of solemn, easy calm in your brain. If you’re looking for a classic stoner’s high, this is the one. This is a strain for doing nothing — eating and watching movies would be the most strenuous tasks we’d recommend.

Those most likely to benefit from these effects may have spasms or cramps related to chronic ailments like arthritis or women’s health conditions. OZ Kush’s de-focusing, mind-lifting effects can help your body adjust and get to sleep. The strain will live rent-free in your head, encouraging sedation and solemn calm. Be prepared to tingle as its warmth spreads to your limbs and behind your eyes. You may even find yourself slipping into a deep sleep. If that’s what you’re looking for, you found it.
