Today we’re reviewing Rowdy OG Kush.

If you just follow naming conventions when picking up strains, you might figure anything x OG Kush = amazing bud. That’s what I was hoping too, but straight away it was obvious something was rotten in Denmark.

The first indicators were smell and looks. This is a really, really dark bud that felt unusually dry. Anyone who smokes Kush knows ‘that’ smell. It’s the aroma all of us love. Rowdy OG just didn’t have it… no distinct, pungent smell that says, “Hope you’ve got nothing planned buddy.”

It appears as though this batch wasn’t cured correctly. While smoking, it again lacked the classic Kush taste. Instead, you got a chlorophyl aftertaste, which isn’t a great sign. Rowdy still tastes solid, but not as scrumptious as it should have.

Highness on this is strain is also solid (catching the trend yet?), which helped contribute to the 7 rating. It starts in the shoulder area and radiates from there, lasting anywhere between 1.5 to 2 hours.

Let’s hope this was an off batch, which is highly likely. Next time Rowdy is spotted at any local dispensaries, let us know. We definitely want to do a follow-up on this bud and see if this Kush variant can redeem its name.

    the bud itself looks like it was starved or went through a lot of stress. it’s scrawny, paris hilton-like.there’s a good chance there may have been light leaks or this grow or was pollinated. that would cause the darker color due to a lack of trichome production which is evident. if it was pollinated, chances are they had to trim out those bad parts. this grower may be a rookie with all the mistakes made on this one.

    i think the growers should give, or dispensaries should require, a grow information label. that’d be cool. you can see if it were organic vs synthetic, hydro vs soil, length of time vegged, flowered, dried, cured, and so on. then again that would require even more trust.

    @Anthony – I agree with everything you’ve said and a labeling system like that might just evolve one day if decriminalization leads to legalization.

    As tFS continues to grow, we want to build direct relationships with growers so that we can provide this sort of information to our audience. It’s just going to take some time to carve the path.

    As always, thanks for the comment!
