Glaucoma OG by Exclusive Seeds
Sativa × OG Kush
Glaucoma OG, developed by Exclusive Seeds, is a sativa-dominant strain resulting from a blend of sativa and OG genetics. It aims to provide an uplifting experience with potential therapeutic benefits.
Appearance
Glaucoma OG produces dense, trichome-rich buds that shimmer under light. Growers have observed compact flowers with deep forest green hues, often accented by purple undertones. The buds are further distinguished by vibrant orange pistils woven through their structure.
The strain's sativa heritage is evident in its elongated fan leaves. High trichome density, with reports exceeding 15,000 trichomes per square centimeter, indicates significant cannabinoid and terpene production.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Glaucoma OG is a complex mix, starting with prominent notes of pine and citrus, layered over earthy and spicy undertones. Hints of floral and herbal scents contribute to its multi-dimensional fragrance.
Upon tasting, users experience an immediate burst of pine and citrus, followed by subtle earthy and spicy notes reminiscent of OG Kush. Some enthusiasts detect a lingering sweet herbal taste with a touch of bitterness and a toasted citrus aftertaste.
Effects
Glaucoma OG delivers a predominantly cerebral uplift, often leading to feelings of energy, euphoria, and creativity. This is complemented by a calming and relaxed body high, promoting a balanced state.
The strain is reported to foster focus and encourage a sense of calm, making it suitable for various social and personal activities. Its effects are generally described as invigorating yet smooth.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
Key terpenes like pinene contribute a fresh, pine-like aroma and are associated with potential respiratory and anti-inflammatory benefits. Beta-caryophyllene adds a spicy element and may interact with CB2 receptors to help reduce inflammation.
With THC levels often exceeding 20% in some phenotypes, Glaucoma OG offers potent effects. Trace amounts of CBD may be present, potentially balancing THC's intensity and aiding in tension relief. Research also suggests CBN may play a role in reducing intraocular pressure.
Origins and Lineage
Created by Exclusive Seeds, Glaucoma OG emerged from a desire to combine the energizing qualities of sativa strains with the robust characteristics of OG varieties. The development involved extensive selective breeding and testing over several years.
The lineage is primarily sativa, with significant OG genetic influence. This crossbreeding aimed to create a strain with an uplifting profile, strong aromas, and resilience, while maintaining high cannabinoid levels.
