OG Kush lab report

Among flower tests, OG Kush cleared the 20% total THC line in 63%; after that, the odds fell sharply, to 14% for the 25% cutoff and 1.3% for the 30% cutoff, with a 20.87% median.¹

By state, Washington had the higher 20% rate, 69% across 123 tests with a 21.00% median; Michigan was lower at 50% across 40 tests with a 19.98% median.¹ The state split is about the market too, since growers, labs and testing rules differ from place to place.

For OG Kush, 1 of the 2 single THC figures we checked landed above the lab median of 20.87%; the highest, 25% THC from Leafly, had 14% of tests at or above it, about 1 in 7.^1,2

The lower single figure, 20% THC from Humboldt Seed Organization, matched a threshold that 63% of tests met, about 6 in 10.^1,4

The published ranges were close together: 19–25% THC from White Label / Sensi Seeds covered 57% of lab tests, while 20–26% THC from AllBud covered 54%.^1,5,6 These outside figures do not identify what is in a specific jar; the relevant record for that purchase is its batch certificate of analysis.

The test-by-test lead for OG Kush was about half, not a firm majority: β-caryophyllene led 50% of 127 terpene tests, with limonene at 26% and β-myrcene at 23%.¹

The claim from Leafly names myrcene as dominant for OG Kush.² In the tests, β-myrcene led 23%, while β-caryophyllene led 50%.¹

Most of the terpene panel is local to Nevada: 106 of the 127 tests came from labs there, so the shares mainly describe that market's flower.¹

The closest typical terpene mixes to OG Kush were Sour Diesel at 96%, Wedding Cake at 95% and Ice Cream Cake at 94%, while Durban Poison was the least similar of the 36 compared at 42%.¹

The close matches share a β-caryophyllene lead in their typical profiles: Sour Diesel, Wedding Cake and Ice Cream Cake all have that lead, while Durban Poison is led by terpinolene.¹

Method note: we take each eligible strain's median levels for eight terpenes, express them as shares of the eight-terpene total, then score how much of two profiles overlaps; identical mixes score 100. A strain must have at least 30 tests with individual terpene results to enter the comparison. This is a chemistry-only comparison, not a prediction of how OG Kush feels.

In our strain comparison, OG Kush sat mid-pack by median total THC, ranked 26th of 58 at 20.87%, between Gushers at 20.95% and Super Lemon Haze at 20.84%.¹ By high-THC frequency, 14% of tests were at 25% or higher, ranking 29th.¹

The middle half was 18.06%–23.36%, covering 5.30 points; among 52 sufficiently tested strains, OG Kush placed 28th by narrowness, which is about average consistency.¹

Among 5 frequent labs, each with at least 20 OG Kush tests, Lab E in Massachusetts had the lowest median, 18.82%, while Lab D in Maryland had the highest, 25.31%; the lab-to-lab difference was 6.49 points.¹

Because labs receive different growers' flower, the gap is not evidence by itself that a lab reports high; grower mix is part of it. We mask lab names here: Lab A is simply the largest tester, while the downloadable file includes the real lab names.

Yes: in the 168 OG Kush tests with THC and terpene totals, the group at 23.56% or higher had a 2.12% median terpene total, versus 1.25% for tests at 19.44% or lower.¹

The gap between those terpene medians was 0.87 points.¹ The same direction appeared in 2 of 2 states that met the sample floor: Nevada up and Maryland up.¹ For Nevada, median total terpenes were 1.20% in the lower-THC third and 1.91% in the higher-THC third.¹

Total terpenes are aroma compounds measured by weight; this table does not say how OG Kush will feel.

OG Kush's qualifying yearly results climbed: 2018 posted a 17.64% median across 21 tests, while 2023 posted 23.50% across 118, for an overall change of +5.86 points.¹

The state-fixed check also rises in Washington: 2021 recorded 20.00%, and 2023 recorded 22.00%, with a state change of +2.00 points.¹

Years with fewer than 20 tests are excluded from this trend check.

Under exactly the name OG Kush, lab results were not mostly flower: flower was 48% of 940 results, followed by concentrates 25%, other or unrecorded 13% and shake and trim 6.7%.¹ Only flower enters this site's strain figures.

Results with longer names that include OG Kush totaled 996, equal to 51% of all records with the name string, with “Lemon OG Kush” (224), “Unprocessed Flower - Platinum OG Kush” (137) and “Buds - Member Berry x OG Kush #1” (65) at the front.¹ We leave them out because added wording, cross notation or CBD wording may indicate different material; see our name-matching rules.

In our Oct 5, 2026 Weedmaps menu pull, OG Kush flower appeared in 387 store listings counted within 50 miles of each market center; menus included it in 19 of 27 markets, giving it a 12th-of-58 position among tracked strains, with exact-eighth pricing available in fewer places.³

By market, the exact-eighth medians were $15.00 for Los Angeles, where other tracked strains typically sat at $25.00; New York was $40.00 versus $35.70; Baltimore was $35.00 versus $35.00; Denver was $15.77 versus $20.16; and Oklahoma City was $15.00 versus $17.75.³

OG Kush was cheaper than the typical other strain in 3 of the 5 markets with enough exact-eighth prices, with mixed results elsewhere.³
