Origins & genetics

Skywalker OG or Skywalker OG Kush is an OG Kush phenotype, but it has similarities in taste and smell to the Jedi strain, Yoda OG. There have been many strains that have popped up with the same name as this strain, but the original Skywalker was bred because of its dominant Sativa traits. Later, another kind was developed and was a hybrid of Skywalker, (whose parent strains are Blueberry and Mazar) and OG Kush.  Kush strains were given their names thanks to their Asian origin, coming from the Hindu Kush Mountains. However, Skyscraper was developed in Amsterdam by cultivators, Passion Seeds. There has been much confusion surrounding this strain and that is why marijuana information curators like Medical Jane have been working with different growers and lab facilities to create and maintain a trustworthy strain database.

Skywalker is an indica dominant strain with an 85:15 indica to sativa ratio. It is one of the most potent cannabis strains around, with THC levels reaching as high as 30%! Skywalker is a milder version of Skywalker OG as it does not contain as much THC. However, OG Kush is renowned for its strong high, which Skywalker OG has obviously inherited. Skywalker OG has 10% CBD, and its terpenes have the highest rates in Humulene at 1.77%, Myrcene at 0.69%, and Alpha-Pinene at 0.88%. These terpenes help to give the strain its unique flavors.

Appearance and Smell

Skywalker OG has a pungent herbal, earthy smell infused with spice. When combusted, Skywalker OG gives off a full-bodied smoke that carries with it a pungent smell that is sure to alert anyone nearby that there is some good weed around. When inhaled, there is a lemon-fuel-like taste that changes to a skunky taste when exhaled. This is mixed with a faintly sweet taste. There is also a pine undertone that lingers as an aftertaste after smoking or vaping. Though there will be differences in the appearance of the strain from grower to grower, what will remain constant is its glistening trichomes. It has compact buds, beautiful orange pistils, and olive green sepals that make Skywalker OG an eye-catching strain.
