309 OG
OG Kush (presumed)
309 OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cultivar with characteristics of classic Kush strains. It is recognized for its potent effects and a distinctive aroma profile often described as gas, lemon, and pine. This strain has gained popularity, particularly in certain regions, for its relaxing qualities.
Appearance
309 OG typically presents dense, medium to large conical buds with tightly packed bracts. It often features a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, contributing to a clean appearance after trimming. The buds are noted for their significant trichome coverage, indicating a resinous quality.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of 309 OG is commonly characterized by a loud bouquet that blends gas, lemon, and pine notes. Upon consumption, flavors often echo this profile, with prominent citrus and pine elements, sometimes accompanied by herbal or peppery undertones. Some variations may lean more heavily into fuel-like or solvent notes.
Effects
Users often report that 309 OG provides a calm and grounding sensation, with effects that are primarily centered on the body. While it is considered a potent strain suitable for evening use, it does not necessarily induce heavy sedation in all individuals. The onset of its relaxing effects is often noted within 15 to 30 minutes.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of 309 OG is frequently anchored by myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene, with pinene and linalool sometimes present. Its THC content typically ranges from 18% to 24%, while CBD levels are generally below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG may be present in trace amounts.
Growing
As an indica-leaning hybrid, 309 OG often exhibits vigorous branching and a medium-tall stature. It typically flowers within an 8 to 10-week period. Growers note that this strain can experience significant stretch during early flowering, requiring canopy management. It thrives with stable environmental parameters and benefits from ample light intensity, particularly in the later stages of flowering.
Origins & Lineage
The exact formal lineage of 309 OG is not widely documented by a single breeder, but it is generally considered to be derived from OG Kush genetics. The name is believed to reference the 309 area code in central Illinois, where early mentions and listings of the strain appeared. It has been circulating on menus since the late 2010s, particularly in the Midwest and on the West Coast.
