Move over, LA Confidential — there’s a new top California-born strain in town. Hollywood OG (sometimes known as Hollywood Kush) in an indica-dominant hybrid with a mysterious backstory. The strain’s parentage and original breeders may be undocumented, but there’s no doubting this bud’s power to deliver therapeutic, well-balanced effects and a distinctively tangy aroma. This bud’s long-lasting properties are sure to impress cannabis novices and veterans alike.

Flowers of Hollywood OG stand out with their relatively large size and pointy, spadelike shapes. They appear to be more indica than sativa in structure, clinging together in compact, dense nuggets. The small leaves curl tightly inward toward their stems and are usually a mix of pale sea green and a yellow hue. Sometimes, phenotypes of Hollywood OG even boast shades of purple, a phenomenon that is due to anthocyanin pigments in the strain’s genetics being stimulated by cold weather during the growing process. Finally, these flowers are capped off with neon orange pistils and translucent white trichomes that give the flowers a very sticky texture.
