Irene Kush S1 is the Irene Kush cut selfed onto itself, so both halves of every seed come from that one plant. Irene Kush is also called Irene OG, a sour-scented hybrid out of the American Deep South kept almost entirely for its terpenes, and a self is the only way a clone-only cut like it has ever reached a seed packet. It carries sweet, earthy and floral with rich earth and pine, plus a distinct diesel note that most OG cuts do not have. What you are buying is a look inside one plant rather than a blend of two.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother and Father: Irene Kush, selfed. Also called Irene OG, a Deep South cut kept almost entirely for its terpenes. Given as traced to an unknown Emerald Triangle plant crossed to Hindu Kush, and widely taken to descend from California OG Kush. CSI recommend a nutrient-rich organic soil with good micronutrient content to bring the terpenes out; it is among the hardest clones they have reversed.
• Preservation, not novelty. A cut this old has no seed history - it has been passed hand to hand. A self is the only route to a packet, and the only way the line outlives the people currently holding it.
• Why self rather than cross. Cross a clone to anything and you get a hybrid of it, not the clone. Reversing it onto itself keeps the parentage on both sides, which is the honest way to put a clone-only cut into seed.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

• The Aroma. Sweet, earthy and floral over rich earth and pine, with a diesel note most OGs lack.
• The Taste. Earthy and piney with the sweetness carrying through and a sour diesel edge.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. Kept for terpenes rather than for yield.
• Training. Worth the effort early - it is the difference between an even canopy and three colas and a lot of leaf.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Irene Kush as the potent, focused end of the OG family; settling.
• The Body. Reported in line with that. This is not a plant described as pulling in two directions.

Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Nearly everything CSI put out is built from cuts they hold themselves rather than from other people's seed lines, which is why their catalogue reads like a list of clones instead of a list of brands. Authentic Humboldt CSI genetics.
