¶ Triangle Kush
¶ Overview
Triangle Kush is an indica cultivar that emerged from the South Florida breeding scene as a distinct phenotype of the OG Kush family. Named for the triangular shape of its dense buds and its South Florida "Triangle" geographic origin, Triangle Kush has earned recognition as one of the most authentic and potent OG derivatives. The strain features a fuel-earthy-citrus aromatic signature and delivers heavy body relaxation effects that are characteristic of the best OG phenotypes. Triangle Kush has been widely used in further breeding programs and has spawned its own family of derivative crosses, including Triangle Mints and other "Triangle" themed cultivars.

¶ Genetics & Lineage
Triangle Kush is an OG Kush phenotype selection from South Florida:
- OG Kush -- The foundational indica-dominant strain from Southern California, believed to be a cross of Chemdawg, Hindu Kush, and a Lemon Thai phenotype. OG Kush is the genetic backbone of countless modern cultivars.
Parent lineage: OG Kush phenotype (South Florida selection)
Triangle Kush was identified through phenotype hunting within the South Florida cannabis breeding community, where an especially heavy, fuel-forward OG expression was isolated and stabilized. The South Florida environment and breeding approach contributed to a phenotype that emphasizes the most potent and sedating traits of the OG Kush genetics.
¶ Cannabinoid Profile
| Cannabinoid | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| THC (Total) | 18-23% |
| CBD | <1% (typically 0.1-0.3%) |
| CBG | 0.5-1.2% |
| CBN | <0.5% (increases with age) |
Triangle Kush occupies the moderate-to-high THC range, providing consistent potency that supports its signature heavy body relaxation. The cannabinoid profile is typical of well-selected OG Kush phenotypes from the Florida breeding scene.
¶ Terpene Profile
| Terpene | Approximate Share | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Myrcene | 35-50% | Dominant terpene; earthy, herbal base; primary driver of heavy sedation |
| Caryophyllene | 15-25% | Peppery, fuel notes; adds depth and classic OG character |
| Limonene | 10-18% | Citrus brightness that lifts the fuel-earth profile |
| Pinene | 5-10% | Pine freshness; contributes to the OG signature |
| Humulene | 2-5% | Earthy, woody undertones |
The myrcene-caryophyllene-limonene combination produces Triangle Kush's signature fuel-earthy-citrus profile, with myrcene playing a particularly dominant role in the strain's heavy body effects.
¶ Effects & Experience
Triangle Kush is widely reported to produce:
- Heavy body relaxation -- A deep, full-body sensation that begins in the extremities and spreads inward, loosening muscles and releasing physical tension
- Sedation -- Progressive drowsiness that intensifies over the experience, making this strain best suited for evening or nighttime use
- Euphoria -- A brief mental lift that quickly merges with the body-heavy effects
- Stress relief -- Commonly reported melting away of mental and physical tension
Onset: Effects typically begin within minutes when smoked or vaporized; 30-90 minutes when consumed orally.
Duration: 2-3 hours for inhaled consumption; 4-8 hours for oral consumption.
Intensity: Strong. The indica-dominant genetics and moderate-to-high THC range produce intense effects that are best reserved for evening use.
⚠️ Effects are self-reported and vary by individual, dose, tolerance, and consumption method. Not a prediction of any individual's experience.
¶ Aroma & Flavor
Triangle Kush presents a classic OG-derived sensory profile:
- Smell: Fuel and earthy notes dominate the initial aroma, with citrus undertones from limonene providing brightness. The caryophyllene-heavy profile produces a pungent, diesel-like scent that is unmistakably OG Kush in character.
- Taste: Fuel and earthy flavors on inhalation, with citrus and slightly piney notes on the exhale. The flavor is pungent and satisfying, with the classic OG Kush taste that cannabis enthusiasts recognize immediately.
¶ Medical Usesdanger
Not Medical Advice -- The following lists commonly reported therapeutic applications. This does not constitute medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional before using cannabis therapeutically.
Commonly reported uses include:
- Sleep support -- The deeply sedating quality makes Triangle Kush a frequent choice for individuals dealing with insomnia
- Pain management -- Heavy body relaxation is commonly cited for relief from chronic pain, muscle spasms, and cramping
- Stress and anxiety reduction -- The calming physical effects are reported to ease mental tension
- Appetite stimulation -- The THC-dominant profile is reported to increase appetite
¶ Adverse Effects
Commonly reported adverse effects:
- Dry mouth
- Dry eyes
- Drowsiness (undesirable for daytime use)
- Dizziness at higher doses
- Couch-lock at moderate to high doses, limiting mobility
- Potential anxiety or paranoia in THC-sensitive individuals
¶ Growing Information
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Moderate -- requires familiarity with OG-family growing characteristics |
| Flowering Time | 55-65 days (indoor) |
| Yield | 350-450 g/m² indoor; 400-500 g/plant outdoor |
| Plant Height | Medium -- compact structure with triangular bud formation; stocky OG growth |
| Preferred Environment | Indoor preferred for consistency; controlled humidity essential |
| Resistance | Moderate resistance to mold and pests. Dense, triangular buds require good air circulation. OG-family plants can be sensitive to overfeeding and environmental fluctuations. |
Triangle Kush benefits from attentive growing practices typical of the OG Kush family. The strain's distinctive triangular bud formation is a reliable phenotypic marker. The plant responds well to topping and low-stress training to manage its stocky structure. Nutrient sensitivity is common among OG genetics, so a conservative feeding approach is recommended. The plant produces resinous buds with solid trichome coverage. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere typically falls in early to mid-October.
¶ Awards & Recognition
- Triangle Kush has been recognized within the OG Kush family of award-winning strains
- Featured in strain databases and cannabis community discussions as a premier South Florida OG phenotype
- Has been used as a parent in derivative crosses including Triangle Mints that have themselves gained recognition
- The OG Kush parent is one of the most awarded and influential strains in cannabis history
