OG Kush Terpenes: Aroma, Terpene Profile and Similar Profiles
Marcos Gabriel MoralesOG Kush terpenes smell like fuel and skunk with spice and a lemon pine edge. Myrcene is usually its leading terpene, followed by limonene and caryophyllene. We do not sell an OG Kush CDT, but Motor Breath and Godsbreath carry a very similar gassy, earthy aroma, and Pineapple Kush keeps its earthy kush base. All three are 100% cannabis derived.

Myrcene is usually the leading terpene in OG Kush, followed by limonene and caryophyllene. Myrcene gives the earthy base, limonene adds the lemon, and caryophyllene brings the peppery spice.
Every batch of any strain is a little different. Phenotype, growing conditions, harvest timing and whether the flower is live or cured all shift the ratios. A 2022 study of commercial cannabis in the United States found that strain names are not reliably tied to one chemical profile (source: Smith et al., PLOS ONE, 2022).
