Description

Irene OG

Irene OG (Clone Only) (AKA Irene Kush) is an elite clone-only cultivar with a documented chain of custody through the West Coast and Southern grow scenes.

Lineage: Larry’s O.G. Kush family (Hollywood), via a bagseed from Nas that closely resembled “Larry’s Irene.”

Bloom Time: 9-10 weeks

Origin Story & Chain of Custody

The name “Irene” traces back to a Hollywood grower named Larry. Two of Larry’s O.G. Kushes were circulating in the early days, and one of them hit a smoker so hard that it became “Irene,” as in “good night, Irene.” Years later, a Bronx grower named Nas popped a large batch of seeds from Orgnkid and Larry-derived cuts. One of his phenos closely resembled Larry’s Irene. It was not an exact match, but it was close enough to be grouped under the same name, and the cut was called “Rene” by the grow circle that first handled it. Because the potency was so strong, the distinction was dropped and the cut became known as Irene.

The cut then passed from Nas to RUDEBOI, who sent a clone to S4v for safekeeping. From S4v, it was passed to Dusty, who handed it to Home Grower. Irene was once known in Atlanta and across the Southeast, and it has since circulated back into West Coast clone menus.

The verified copy we hold was circulated by a grower known online as “Melting Pot.” The platform where that handle was used has not been confirmed.

Cultivar Description

• Aroma & Flavor: Sharp, high-octane sour diesel and raw fuel nose upfront, balanced by deep earthy pine, skunk, and a subtle sour citrus back end. It retains that old-school, pungent, chemical-gas funk.
• Effects: Delivers a fast-striking, potent hit. It starts with a cerebral rush and mental clarity, which gradually melts into a deeply relaxing, heavy body stone that aids with stress, chronic pain, and insomnia.
• Growth Profile & Flowering Time: Features tight, dense, trichome-laden nugs with vibrant orange pistils and dark green-to-purple foliage. Decent growth structure with moderate stretch during transition to bloom.
