Bushido OG strain guide
Bushido OG is an indica-leaning hybrid from Omuerta Genetix, made from Mango Puff and OakTree. It's known for a fruity, piney smell and some very high THC listings. Despite the OG in its name, its documented parents aren't from the OG Kush family.
Where does Bushido OG come from?
The breeder, Omuerta Genetix, describes its Bushido as a Ghostcut Mango Puff pollinated by an OakTree male, with both parents coming from Gage Green Genetics lines. One strain database lists the same Mango Puff and OakTree cross for Bushido OG.
According to the breeder, the OakTree side was meant to smooth out a sharp, bitter taste in the Mango Puff cut while keeping its heavy resin, and it added a fruity, raspberry-like note. The OG part of the name doesn't line up with any documented OG Kush parent, so treat it as a name rather than a family tie.
What does Bushido OG smell and taste like?
Listings describe a sweet, sour mix of apple and citrus over a woody, earthy base, with a hint of spicy diesel. One reviewer opened a bag to a sweet pine scent with fruity, floral notes, then found the taste closer to pine bark and cut grass. In other words, the smell may be the best part.
Terpene data is thin. The one published lab result we found, from that same review, listed pinene as the standout terpene, which fits the piney smell. That's a single batch, so your product may differ.
Bushido OG effects: what people report
Reports split. One strain database describes a happy, heady start that settles into a tingly, heavy body feel and sleepiness. A reviewer of one batch had the opposite experience: a fast, energetic, creative high that didn't pin them to the couch.
These are experiences people report, not promises, and there aren't many of them. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance.
How strong is Bushido OG?
Bushido OG is listed as very strong. One strain database puts it at 28% to 33% THC, and one reviewed batch tested at about 27.8%. CBD isn't reported.
That's a lot for most people, and especially for beginners. Start with a small amount and give it time before having more. Our guide on THCA vs THC explains how those big label numbers are worked out.
Buying Bushido OG in Canada
Bushido OG is a less common name, and the strain is also sold as Bushido or Bushido OG Kush. Check the producer and the label so you know which plant you're getting.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers, any terpene info and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of its fruity, piney smell.
Bushido OG vs OG Kush
There's no documented family link between these two, even though they share a name. OG Kush is the classic: lemon, pine and fuel with an earthy base. Bushido OG comes from Mango Puff and OakTree, and smells fruitier, with apple and citrus over pine. Bushido OG is also listed with much higher THC. If you want the well-known OG profile, go with OG Kush. If you'd like something fruitier and very potent, Bushido OG is the one to try.
