Triangle Kush Genetics & Lineage
Triangle Kush (aka Triangle OG, Florida OG Kush) is a clone-only Florida cut with roots in the OG Kush family.
- Type: Indica-dominant (about 85% indica / 15% sativa)
- Ancestry: Florida OG line (Emerald Triangle) crossed with Hindu Kush; a sibling of the original OG Kush
- Origin: South Florida, early 1990s (Marty "TK" Calabrese / TK Origins)
- THC Levels: ~20–26% typical, higher in select cuts
- CBD Levels: Under 1% (around 1% CBG)
The name comes from Florida's "triangle" of cannabis cities — Tampa, Jacksonville, and Miami. As one of the purest surviving OG cuts, Triangle Kush became a foundational parent: it's half of Wedding Cake (Triangle Kush × Animal Mints), which in turn parents Gelato Cake. It sits squarely in the OG family alongside Fire OG, SFV OG, and Tahoe OG.
Triangle Kush Terpene Profile
Triangle Kush is a myrcene-led, gassy OG profile with citrus and pepper underneath — the terpenes behind its heavy, relaxing body high and the entourage effect.
- Myrcene: Earthy and musky; the sedative base of the OG body high.
- Limonene: Lemon-citrus; the bright note that cuts the fuel.
- Caryophyllene: Peppery, gassy spice; the diesel-and-funk driver.
Appearance
Triangle Kush grows round, leafy forest-green nugs with long, thin dark-orange pistils and a thick coat of bright white crystal trichomes. The structure is stocky and dense — classic indica OG, with swollen calyxes and a resin-heavy finish.
Aroma and Flavor
The nose is loud and unmistakably OG: pungent diesel and fuel up front, over earthy pine, lemon-citrus, and a skunky, spicy backbone. The flavor carries the same — spicy lemon and fuel on the inhale, woody and earthy on the exhale. (Purists debate the lemon note; some cuts read more pure fuel-and-earth.)
Recreational Effects
Triangle Kush opens sharp and finishes heavy.
- A focused, energetic head rush behind the eyes
- A brief creative, talkative window
- Building, warming body relaxation
- Couch-lock and sedation as it peaks
