The record · 3 sections

The Candy Kush "Hoop Pheno", a high-yielding version of the famous Underdog OG Kush, has been chosen to represent the next step in our quest to find the dankest buds in the world.

The Candy Kush has tremendous resin production and frost along with all the favorite OG characteristics that we have all come to know and love.

Using our Chemdawg OG male, we plan to one up the level of frost and potency of the Candy Kush.

The Chemdawg OG has proven itself as a champion male who has the ability to make even mid-grade cannabis strains into top-shelf buds.

This male is nothing less than the best.
