Mandarin OG

AliasMandarin Kush

Mandarin OG is a hybrid strain encompassing two distinct genetic lineages, both characterized by prominent citrus profiles and varying degrees of Kush-influenced physical effects.

About Mandarin OG

Mandarin OG, sometimes referred to as Mandarin Kush, circulates under two separate genetic histories. The version most commonly listed as Mandarin OG is attributed to a cross of Tangerine Haze and OG Kush, though no original breeder has been firmly established. This iteration features an aroma of tangerine and orange peel, followed by herbal earth and warm OG spice. Its flavor profile carries juicy citrus up front before settling into a peppery, slightly gassy finish. Users often describe this version as a daytime-friendly hybrid that provides an energetic, creative lift.

A second cultivar, developed by Ethos Genetics and sold as Mandarin Kush (occasionally labeled as Mandarin OG), is a cross of (OG Kush x Master Kush) and Mandarin Sunset. This version leans more heavily into its Kush heritage, pairing creamy orange and citrus with earthy spice and gas. It is generally described as providing a more grounded, physically relaxing experience compared to the Tangerine Haze cross.

Plant characteristics

The version derived from Tangerine Haze and OG Kush is reported to be a compact plant, typically reaching 30–60 inches indoors and 60–80 inches when grown outdoors, with a flowering period of approximately 52–61 days. No cultivation data specific to the Ethos Genetics cross has been published.
