Citrus City OG
OG Kush × Tangie × Lemon Skunk × Orange Family Cultivar
Citrus City OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the 2010s, blending the classic OG Kush profile with brighter, citrus-forward terpenes. It is recognized for its aromatic complexity and balanced effects.
Appearance
Citrus City OG typically presents with rounded, spear-to-ovoid colas characterized by a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, facilitating efficient trimming. The buds are compact, featuring the OG hallmark of dense trichome coverage and knuckled bracts. Coloration ranges from lime to forest green, sometimes with lime streaks or darker olive hues, and faint violet may appear on sugar leaf tips under cooler conditions. Pistils transition from light apricot to a deeper copper-orange as the plant matures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Citrus City OG is marked by a zesty top note reminiscent of tangerine peel and lemon, layered over a base of OG gas, petrol, and pine. As the flower is broken apart, notes of candied citrus, crushed juniper, and faint earth emerge. Some phenotypes may exhibit a sugared grapefruit tone. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, opening with sweet orange and lemon zest followed by classic petrol-pine notes. On exhale, the taste becomes cleaner and slightly herbal, with lingering notes of candied orange peel and pine resin.
Effects
Citrus City OG is generally described as providing a calm and lucid high. The indica-dominant genetics contribute to a body-forward experience, often associated with stress relief. The strain aims to balance the deeply relaxing qualities of OG Kush with a brighter, more versatile effect profile suitable for daytime use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of Citrus City OG is often limonene-dominant, supported by myrcene and beta-caryophyllene. Other terpenes like linalool, pinene, humulene, terpinolene, and ocimene may also be present in varying amounts. This strain typically falls into the high-THC, low-CBD category, with THC levels commonly ranging from 15-20% and CBD below 1%. Minor cannabinoids such as CBG may also be detected.
Origins & Lineage
Citrus City OG emerged during the 2010s as a hybrid intended to modernize OG Kush by incorporating brighter, citrus-forward terpenes and increased resin production. Its exact lineage is often subject to regional variation and oral tradition, but it is frequently described as an OG Kush cross with a citrus-dominant strain such as Tangie, Lemon Skunk, or an Orange family cultivar. Growers often select for phenotypes that retain OG Kush's structure and calming effects while enhancing citrus aromatics.
Growing
Cultivating Citrus City OG typically involves managing its OG Kush-dominant structure, which can include dense calyxes and heavy trichome frost. Breeding notes suggest that backcrossing into the OG side can preserve its structure and reduce issues like foxtailing. Selecting for vigor from the citrus parent can improve internodal spacing and airflow, which is beneficial for managing humidity and preventing powdery mildew. The flowering time is generally around 8-10 weeks.
