About OG #18
OG #18 is an indica-leaning strain bred by DNA Genetics as part of its Reserva Privada line, built from OG Kush and Chemdawg genetics. It became a staple of Los Angeles dispensaries and still ranks among the best-selling flower strains in California. You may also see it called OG 18 or Reserva Privada OG #18.
The aroma is classic OG: earthy pine, lemon zest and a sharp, fuel-like kush funk. Buds are usually dense and rounded, olive to lime green, with orange hairs and a sticky resin coat. Myrcene often contributes the earthy, musky base, limonene can bring out the lemon, and caryophyllene may add a peppery finish.
People often describe OG #18 as relaxed, sleepy and happy, with a calm mood lift that settles into a heavy, full-body feel. Many choose it for the evening or late at night. THC usually ranges from 18% to 24%, and CBD is typically under 1%.
OG #18 can suit intermediate and experienced consumers who enjoy traditional OG flavor and heavier effects. Start low, go slow, and check the lab results on the package before you buy. Use WhereLeaf to find OG #18 at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
