Horchata x OG Kush, a stellar cross that blends the creamy sweetness of Compound Genetics’ Horchata with the classic robustness of OG Kush. This hybrid, with slight indica dominance, comes from an exquisite line: on the one hand, the Jet Fuel Gelato, known for its vigorous diesel touch, and on the other hand, the Mochi Gelato, which brings a minty and floral aromatic profile. From the crossing of these 2 genetics Horchata was born, to be merged with the mythical OG Kush. The fusion of these strains delivers a unique sensory experience, marked by a high THC content ranging between 23% and 28%.
The structure of Horchata x OG Kush is a sight to behold for growers, with its deep green leaves and robust branches that, during flowering, rise to form dense, resinous central colas. Adorned with rust-colored pistils and a blanket of trichomes that glisten like frost, this plant is not only potent, but also a spectacle in any garden.
Production effects and flavor
The terpene profile of Horchata x OG Kush is a delight: top notes of creamy vanilla intertwine with herbal and sour hints, and subtle nuances reminiscent of coffee, cinnamon and chocolate. This rich combination ensures an exceptional olfactory and taste experience, accompanied by a balanced and deep effect. Users report instant relaxation, renewed energy and a noticeable improvement in mood, ideal for a creative break or a well-deserved rest.
The Horchata x OG Kush strain stands out not only for its sensory qualities, but also for its remarkable production. In indoor crops, this indica-dominant can offer yields ranging from 400 to 550 grams per square meter, optimizing space and efficiency in the use of resources. Outdoors, on the other hand, each Horchata x OG Kush plant is capable of producing impressive yields of approximately 800 grams per plant. These production volumes make it a very attractive option for both novice and expert growers, ensuring an abundant harvest that compensates for the cultivation time invested.
Flowering Time

This period is crucial for the development of its dense buds and abundant trichomes, culminating in a superior quality harvest.
Adapted to flower in Mediterranean to temperate climates, this strain offers flexibility in terms of growing environment. It performs exceptionally well both indoors and outdoors, although indoors it is recommended to implement training techniques to optimize space and maximize performance.

Tips for the cultivation of Horchata x OG Kush
At Bulk Genetics, we recommend growing Horchata x OG Kush with certain considerations to ensure maximum yield and the highest quality. This strain, with its indica-dominant traits, benefits greatly from training techniques such as SOG (Sea of Green) or SCROG (Screen of Green), which help to optimize space and promote more uniform and controlled growth.
We prefer to use nutrient-rich substrates with good drainage to facilitate the robust root development that characterizes this variety. Lighting is crucial; therefore, we ensure adequate light exposure of at least 600W in HID systems or the equivalent in LED to enhance your flowering and maximize trichome production. The ideal daytime temperature should be between 22-26°C, with a slight reduction at night to mimic natural conditions, which is vital for the development of the purple and blue tones of its buds.
Humidity should be carefully controlled, keeping it around 40-50% during the flowering phase to prevent mold or pest problems. In addition, adequate watering without saturating the substrate is essential, especially during the early stages of vegetation to promote a strong and resistant structure.
Finally, although Horchata x OG Kush shows good resistance to pests and diseases, we always maintain a preventive protocol that includes regular monitoring and the use of organic products to protect our plants without compromising the quality of the final product.
