DNA/Reserva Privada
The OG #18 was selected from a set of the original feminized
OG Kush seeds. After a little time with the OG #18, it was clear
that she was a keeper phenotype with many good and winning
qualities, leading DNA to feminize her. Compared with the
original OG Kush, this strain takes on a more sour taste
reminiscent of the fuel-sour tones of the Chem Dawg, but with
the OG-Chem power.
The OG #18 also makes better use of the space than her
predecessors, averaging better yields than OG Kush—a third
more on average. This plant branches a lot and will stretch a
little during the vegetative phase, but when the roots hit
bottom, OG #18 growth takes off, spreading out into a bush
and doubling in size. DNA recommends pinching to direct
growth. The buds are bigger than the OG Kush, and they get
rock hard as the plant nears ripeness. Beware of spider mites
as they seem to be attracted to the OG #18, but even with the
compact bud structures, molds aren’t a problem. These plants
bounce back from nutrient faux pas easier than some.
However, OG #18 will become unhappy in hot rooms or
climates. At 9 weeks, The OG #18 buds are mature and become
little beauties that twinkle with a sheen of resin.
The OG #18 is a musky strain that gives off a scent from the
get-go, and the odor only gets more intense during the
flowering period. The final cured buds transform this
muskiness into a tasty Kush flavor with a sour undertone. The
high is long lasting and trancey. The OG #18 is tunnel vision
pot that washes out peripheral vision. The high feels like a
bubble has been stretched around you. When the bubble pops,
it is as if the high caused time to warp. The clock doesn’t seem
to match the perception of how much time has passed. These
qualities make OG #18 optimal for focused leisure such as
playing video games, but a terrible idea for driving or staying
on schedule. The OG #18 won the 2009/2010 High Times
Cannabis Cup in the Indica Category for the Reserva Privada
series. She also won the 2010 Europe Champions Cup and
2010 Spannabis Indoor Hydro Cup.
