Reserva Privada

Reserva Privada is the in-house line from DNA Genetics — the Amsterdam-based, LA-rooted breeding project behind some of the most copied Kush and OG cuts in circulation. We stock the core Reserva Privada catalogue: Strawberry Banana, OG Kush, and The OG 18. Three strains, all feminised, all built on West Coast genetics that have been worked since the late 90s.

Buy Reserva Privada Seeds — Category Guide

Reserva Privada is the boutique sister label to DNA Genetics, set up to house the breeders' personal cuts — the strains they kept for themselves before deciding the wider market was ready. The line leans hard into Californian heritage genetics: OG Kush phenotypes, Sour Diesel crosses, and fruit-forward hybrids pulled from clone-only mothers. If you've smoked OG Kush in any form over the past two decades, the lineage probably traces back through a Reserva Privada or DNA cut at some point.

The catalogue is small on purpose. Where bigger seed banks chase every new hype strain, Reserva Privada has stuck to a tighter selection of stabilised classics. What we carry reflects that: the OG Kush original, The OG 18 (a hand-picked phenotype of that same OG line), and Strawberry Banana — the fruit-heavy hybrid that's become a parent to half the dessert strains on the market.

What We Carry

• OG Kush — the original Reserva Privada cut of the West Coast benchmark. Indica-dominant hybrid with the classic fuel, pine and lemon-rind nose. Flowers in roughly 9 weeks and stays manageable in height, though she wants a clean feed schedule to express properly.
• The OG 18 — a select phenotype from the same OG Kush family, picked for resin production and a sharper, more pungent terpene profile. Slightly longer flowering than the standard OG, with denser flower structure. A grower's pick rather than a beginner's.
• Strawberry Banana — the Bubble Gum x Banana Kush hybrid that put fruit-flavoured cannabis on the modern map. High-THC, sweet and creamy on the nose, with a balanced hybrid effect. Indoors she rewards a bit of training; the flower sites stack heavily once she's into week six.

How to Choose Your Reserva Privada Seeds

If it's your first grow, Strawberry Banana is the easiest entry point of the three. She's a forgiving plant, finishes in a reasonable window, and the flavour profile is rewarding enough to keep a new grower interested through the learning curve. Start with a small pack and pop them one at a time if you're testing your setup.

For intermediate growers, OG Kush is the obvious pick. It's the strain the rest of the OG family was built from, and growing it teaches you a lot about feed, humidity, and timing — OGs are famously fussy about nutrient balance and will show you every mistake on the leaves. Get her right and the reward is the original fuel-and-citrus profile that's been the West Coast standard for 25 years.

The OG 18 is the advanced pick. The phenotype was selected for potency and resin, but she's less forgiving than her parent — tighter on feed tolerances, fussier about humidity in late flower, and prone to dense buds that need airflow to stay clean. If you've already run OG Kush successfully and want to push the same lineage further, this is where it goes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the relationship between Reserva Privada and DNA Genetics?

Reserva Privada is the boutique line run under the DNA Genetics umbrella. DNA handles the broader catalogue; Reserva Privada is where the breeders housed their personal cuts and heritage OG selections. Same team, tighter selection.

Which Reserva Privada strain is best for beginners?

Strawberry Banana. She's the most forgiving of the three we stock, with a shorter learning curve than the OG cuts. OG Kush and The OG 18 are both rewarding but want a grower who already understands feed and humidity management.

Are these feminised or regular seeds?

The Reserva Privada seeds we stock are feminised photoperiod, so you won't need to sex plants and you'll need to switch your light cycle to 12/12 to trigger flowering.

What makes OG Kush from Reserva Privada different from other OG seed lines?

Reserva Privada worked their OG Kush from original West Coast clone stock, and the line has been stabilised in seed form for years. You're buying into a known, consistent expression of the OG profile rather than a recent recreation.
