Published figures compared with lab data

Leafly shows 25% THC, Weedmaps and AllBud list 20–26%, Humboldt Seed Organization lists 20% for its feminized line, and White Label/Sensi Seeds lists 19–25% for its line.2,3,4,5,6

The lab result is a distribution rather than a target: 20.87% median, 18.06%–23.36% middle half and 35.04% highest matched result.1 Leafly names myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene; this aggregate orders its top medians as β-caryophyllene 0.41%, limonene 0.34%, β-myrcene 0.24%.1,2

Limits of this data

  • The 379 tests span 8 states and 2015–2024; public lab data is not a census of every OG Kush product.1
  • WA supplies the largest state count (123), so the aggregate is not a national market sample.1
  • 32 labs appear in the matched results, and the largest single-lab share is 23.1%.1
  • The terpene profile comes from 127 tests with individual-terpene values, while THC, CBD and terpene fields are not equally available across public sources.1
  • Strict matching excludes 996 near-match records, so Lemon OG Kush and other variants do not alter plain-OG Kush figures.1
