Blue Cheese and OG Kush are two popular hybrid strains that differ greatly in genetics, flavor, aroma, potency and intended effects. Blue cheese is the result of crossing the legendary Blueberry strain with UK Cheese while OG Kush was created by breeding Hindu Kush with Chemdawg. Both strains boast a high THC content but their appearance and aroma can be vastly different due to their genetic makeup.

Effects and Potency
The effects from Blue Cheese are more potent. It’s a hybrid strain, so it’s a bit more of a heady high than OG Kush, which is indica dominant. This means that OG Kush will give you more of a body high and help with pain relief, while Blue Cheese gives you more of a cerebral, energetic high. While both strains have over 20% THC content, OG Kush has been known to go as high as 26%. Both have less than 0.1% CBD content (which is good news if you like your highs really strong).
Grow Info
OG Kush and Blue Cheese are both hybrid strains, Blue Cheeses and OG Kush are both an indica dominant hybrid strain that contains mostly indica genetics.
When it comes to growing these two plants, there are several differences in the way they grow as well as how difficult they are to grow. The Blue Cheeseplant grows shorter than the OG Kush plant and has a bushy structure compared to its counterpart’s more elongated shape. OG Kush also tends to flower faster than Blue Cheese does due its indica dominance.
Conclusion, Blue Cheese Vs OG Kush
Both Blue Cheese and OG Kush are great options for those who want to enhance their marijuana experience. If you’re looking for a strain that will give you a mellow high, then OG Kush may be better suited for your needs. On the other hand, if you want something with more of an energetic effect, then Blue Cheese might be worth trying out!
