Old Growth OG
OG Kush Family
Old Growth Og is a modern iteration of the OG Kush family, characterized by dense, resinous flowers and a distinct aroma reminiscent of lemon, pine, and fuel. It is considered a refined update to the classic OG profile, offering a robust potency with a woodsy nuance.
Appearance
Flowers typically form conical or spear-shaped colas with tightly packed calyxes and a generous coating of trichomes. The color ranges from lime to forest green, accented by copper-orange pistils that deepen with maturity. Under intense lighting, some gentle foxtailing may occur. The buds are dense and heavy, indicating good resin production.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is a classic OG blend of lemon zest, pine needles, and diesel fuel, with a noticeable forest-floor or fresh-cut wood undertone. Upon breaking apart the buds, a strong gas-like scent is released. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, starting with lemon and pine notes on the inhale, followed by diesel and pepper. The exhale introduces earthy and sometimes herbal or floral undertones.
Effects
This strain offers a mixed head-and-body effect, delivering an initial cerebral rush that transitions into deep relaxation. It is often sought after for its robust potency, providing a classic West Coast OG experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Old Growth Og is a THC-dominant strain, typically testing between 18-26% THC, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is anchored by myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene, with significant contributions from pinene. Other terpenes like humulene and terpinolene may also be present, contributing to its complex aroma and effects.
Growing
This cultivar generally exhibits medium-tall growth with a moderate stretch during flowering. It produces dense, resin-heavy buds and is noted for having a slightly sturdier structure compared to some other OG Kush descendants. It is considered relatively cooperative with training techniques.
Origins & Lineage
Old Growth Og is understood as a selected phenotype or filial line within the OG Kush family, rather than a new cross. It emerged from breeding efforts focused on preserving the classic OG Kush aroma and potency while enhancing plant structure and resilience. Its name suggests a connection to forest environments and a robust, outdoor-friendly characteristic.
