OGKB strain guide
OGKB, short for OG Kush Breath, is a selection of Girl Scout Cookies that leans indica. People know it for an earthy, herbal smell with nutty and berry notes, and for a heavy, relaxed feel. It's also a parent of Mendo Breath, which helped make the Breath name famous.
Where does OGKB come from?
OGKB is usually described as a phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies: a plant from Cookies genetics that stood out and was kept as its own cut. Several strain databases trace it to GSC, which itself comes from OG Kush and Durban Poison. One strain database notes a grower called it a mutant Cookies, a nod to how different it looks from the classic cut.
Beyond that, the story is loose. One strain database notes that different accounts of its origin circulate, and nobody is clearly credited with first selecting it. Growers describe it as slow and low-yielding, which is part of why it has stayed fairly rare.
What does OGKB smell and taste like?
OGKB smells earthy and herbal first, with a nutty, slightly berry overtone. Some batches add spice, a little gas or pine. The flavour tends to be nutty and herbal with a soft vanilla note, and a few people mention lemon.
One strain database lists terpinolene as its top terpene, followed by myrcene and caryophyllene. That's an unusual lead for a Cookies strain. Terpinolene brings a woody, herbal freshness, myrcene an earthy, musky side and caryophyllene a peppery bite.
OGKB effects: what people report
People most often describe OGKB as relaxed, hungry and tingly. Reports usually start with a quick mood lift, then move into a heavy, head-to-toe body feel that can end in couch-lock or sleepiness. Some still call it happy, giggly or creative early on.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your tolerance. Dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness are the most common complaints, and one reviewer mentioned feeling anxious as it wore off.
How strong is OGKB?
OGKB is a high-THC strain. One strain database lists it around 25% THC and another database around 27%, with some reviewers reporting 28% to 29% on their products. CBD is very low.
That's strong for anyone, and a lot for a beginner. Start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The numbers on your label matter more than the strain's reputation.
Buying OGKB in Canada
You may see it sold as OGKB or OG Kush Breath, and some listings add a version number, like OGKB 2.1, for a particular cut. Different producers grow different plants under the name.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date on the label, since fresher flower holds more of its nutty, herbal smell.
