Pog
Tangie × Tropicana Cookies × Guava × Papaya
Pog is an indica-dominant hybrid recognized for its tropical fruit-inspired profile, reminiscent of passionfruit, orange, and guava. This strain is typically selected for its aromatic intensity and a balanced, uplifting experience.
Appearance
Pog flowers often exhibit a conical or spear-like shape with pointed tips. Buds are typically a light lime to forest green, accented by fiery orange to amber pistils. Some phenotypes may display faint lavender hues when exposed to cooler temperatures late in the flowering stage. The flowers are usually densely coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma and flavor of Pog are characterized by pronounced tropical and citrus notes, often evoking a fruit bowl. Common descriptors include berry, citrus, cream, floral, fruity, herbal, honey, and lavender. This profile is largely attributed to terpenes like limonene and ocimene.
Effects
Consumers typically report an uplifting and mood-elevating onset from the Pog strain. This is often followed by a gentle, body-softening finish that generally avoids intense sedation when consumed in moderate amounts. The experience is often described as happy and clear-headed, lending itself to social or daytime use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Pog commonly exhibits terpene profiles rich in limonene and ocimene, with supporting notes of myrcene and linalool. Caryophyllene and terpinolene may also be present. Lab-tested batches frequently show THC levels in the mid-to-low 20% range, with CBD content below 1%. Total terpene content typically falls between 1.5% and 3.0%.
Growing
Pog generally presents medium vigor with moderately dense, spear-shaped colas. It typically requires 56-67 days to flower, though some phenotypes may extend to 70 days. Yields can be solid to above average, with indoor grows potentially reaching 450–650 g/m² and outdoor plants yielding 500–1000 g each under optimal conditions. The strain benefits from growers prioritizing terpene retention.
Origins & Lineage
The name "Pog" is inspired by a popular tropical juice blend of passionfruit, orange, and guava. While specific parentage varies among breeders, common genetic influences include citrus-forward strains like Tangie or Tropicana Cookies, and guava or passionfruit-expressing lines. The name functions more as a flavor promise and a category of related profiles rather than a single, defined cultivar.
