Mr Northern OG by Mr Hide Seeds
Northern Lights × OG Kush
Mr Northern OG, developed by Mr. Hide Seeds, is an indica-dominant strain recognized for its robust resin production and classic OG characteristics. It merges European breeding with modern OG genetics, offering dependable yields and a potent sensory profile.
Appearance and Bud Structure
Mr Northern OG typically produces dense, compact buds that resemble golf balls or short colas, featuring a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The flowers are often covered in a frosty trichome layer that extends onto the sugar leaves, giving them an almost sandblasted appearance. Some phenotypes may display subtle violet or aubergine hues on the bract tips, especially under cooler late-flowering conditions. Pistils mature from pale apricot to copper, becoming encrusted with resin.
The bud structure reflects its lineage, combining the knuckly, bulbous bracts often seen in OG strains with the thicker, spear-like formations associated with Northern Lights. These buds are known for their firm density and are reported to break down into resinous fragments, making them suitable for extraction.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Mr Northern OG is distinctly OG-forward, characterized by notes of diesel, lemon-pine, and an earthy musk. Upon grinding, a sharp, solvent-like top note emerges, transitioning into peppery and coniferous scents. Deeper base notes of damp forest floor and faint incense become apparent as the aroma develops, creating a layered olfactory experience.
Flavors often mirror the aroma, with prominent diesel, pine, and citrus profiles, complemented by spicy and peppery undertones. The cure process can enhance woodsy and hashish notes, while retaining citrus-pine volatility for a lively scent profile even during storage. This combination offers a traditional gasoline-and-herb profile sought after by OG enthusiasts.
Effects
As an indica-dominant strain, Mr Northern OG is generally associated with relaxing effects. Its potency, typically falling within the 15-25% THC range, suggests a significant psychoactive experience. The strain is often described as providing a robust outcome, consistent with OG derivatives.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific lab results are not detailed, the aromatic profile suggests the presence of key terpenes such as Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, Humulene, Ocimene, and Eucalyptol. These contribute to its diesel, citrus, pine, and earthy notes. Chemically, indica dominance often correlates with higher Myrcene content. The cannabinoid profile is expected to lean heavily towards THC, with CBD levels typically below 1%.
Growing Characteristics
Mr Northern OG is classified as mostly indica, exhibiting a shorter stature and broader leaflets, with a flowering time of approximately eight to nine weeks indoors. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training, making it suitable for indoor cultivation in tents or low-headroom facilities. The plant is known for stacking calyxes into dense, resinous spears and can achieve significant yields, often between 450-600 grams per square meter indoors under optimal conditions.
Origins and Lineage
Developed by the Spanish seed bank Mr. Hide Seeds, Mr Northern OG is described as an intersection of classic European breeding and modern OG-forward selection. While the precise parentage is not officially documented, the name strongly suggests influences from Northern Lights and OG Kush. Growers often observe characteristics consistent with both, such as the compact structure and rapid finish attributed to Northern Lights, and the dense, fuel-laced aroma and assertive psychoactivity associated with OG Kush genetics.
