Marshmallow OG by Wyeast Farms
Marshmallow Og × Grape Gasoline
Marshmallow OG is a hybrid strain developed by Wyeast Farms, recognized for its dessert-like profile and balanced effects. It is appreciated for its sweet aroma, often compared to candy and marshmallows, layered over a classic OG foundation.
Appearance
Marshmallow OG typically produces compact, resinous buds with a frosty appearance, often resembling golf balls or cones. Some phenotypes may display pastel hues, such as lavender or plum, on the bract tips when exposed to cooler night temperatures late in the flowering cycle. The buds are characterized by abundant trichome coverage, giving them a sparkling, sugar-frosted look.
Aroma & Flavor Profile
The aroma of Marshmallow OG is frequently described as candy-sweet, with prominent notes of vanilla and marshmallow, underpinned by subtle hints of fuel and earth. Upon grinding, the bouquet can reveal citrus-laced sugar and toasted meringue nuances. The flavor is smooth and creamy, often presenting a vanilla cream inhale and a sugary marshmallow exhale, sometimes with light pepper or spice notes, particularly at higher temperatures.
Effects
Marshmallow OG is generally considered a potent hybrid that is suitable for late-afternoon or evening use. It is reported to induce a deeply calming sensation while maintaining lucidity, making it conducive to conversation or light activities. The effects are often described as balanced, offering relaxation without excessive sedation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically exhibits a THC content ranging from 20% to 28%, with CBD levels below 1%. Dominant terpenes often include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Humulene. The specific terpene profile can vary between phenotypes, with some leaning towards candy and vanilla notes (higher in limonene and linalool) and others presenting a more gassy and earthy character (higher in caryophyllene and humulene).
Growing Characteristics
Marshmallow OG is an indica/sativa hybrid that generally grows to medium heights with a stout, symmetrical canopy, responding well to topping and training techniques like SCROG. It produces dense buds with favorable calyx-to-leaf ratios, which can reduce trim time. Consistent nutrient support, particularly calcium and magnesium, is important for dense flower formation and to prevent tip burn.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Wyeast Farms, Marshmallow OG is a hybrid strain noted for its dessert-forward aroma and balanced genetic heritage. While specific parentage is not always disclosed, the name and aroma profile suggest a lineage influenced by classic OG genetics combined with confectionary terpenes. Its influence is seen in downstream crosses, such as Compound Genetics' Stay Puft, which combines Marshmallow OG with Grape Gasoline.
