Zombie OG

This flower is named after Zombie OG, a strain that Leafly files under indica and AllBud sorts into its indica dominant hybrid group, at 90% indica and 10% sativa. Leafly and AllBud both give OG Kush and Blackberry as its parents.

OG Kush, Blackberry and the Zombie Kush name

AllBud calls the cross potent and also lists the strain as Zombie Kush, while Leafly shows Zombie as another name. AllBud’s text adds that Zombie OG is often mistaken for a pure indica because of its heavy effects (more on type tags in Indica vs Sativa vs Hybrid).

How AllBud and Leafly describe the buds and smell

AllBud describes small, compact, dense, spade-shaped buds in bright neon green, with dark orange hairs, a fine layer of sugary white trichomes and sweet, sticky resin. Its text puts earthy notes, lavender and pine in the aroma, and calls the taste sweet, earthy, floral and piney. AllBud’s flavour tags add chemical, diesel and fruity.

Leafly’s top flavours are lavender, pine and earthy, and its reviewers describe a very strong, pungent smell and a surprisingly complex flavour. One AllBud reviewer who grew the strain calls the smell and taste loud.

Pepper leads Leafly’s terpene panel, then citrus and herbal

Leafly’s panel for the strain has caryophyllene (pepper) in front, with limonene (citrus) and myrcene (herbal) behind it. Limonene has its own explainer on our blog.

What reviewers report, and how to pace it

Leafly’s reviewers tag relaxed and giggly most, with single reviews adding feelings such as euphoric, happy, uplifted, creative and focused. AllBud’s effect tags include creative, happy, relaxing and sociable, and its text describes a high that comes on almost at once: a euphoric, heavy head high that leaves you social, happy and giggly, then a hard-hitting body stone.

On THC, Leafly’s strain page reads 19% with 0% CBD, and AllBud’s range starts at 18% and tops out at 21%. Both figures sit above the 10% ceiling in Health Canada’s starting advice for smoking, which pairs a first round of 1 or 2 puffs with a wait that can run to 30 minutes before the peak, according to its lower-your-risks page.

A grower’s notes and a jar tip

The same AllBud reviewer, writing in 2015 after three years of growing the strain, calls it hardy and a heavy feeder and says it takes 70 days to finish. Robert Misic’s tip in our Zombie OG guide is to store the flower in an airtight glass jar out of the light, which he says holds on to the lavender and pine character while containing the smell.
