Turpentine OG
OG Kush
Turpentine OG is a hybrid strain recognized for its distinct aroma reminiscent of turpentine, characterized by strong pine and solvent notes. Emerging in the mid-to-late 2010s, it represents a modern iteration within the OG family, prioritizing intense terpene profiles.
Appearance
Turpentine OG produces dense, trichome-covered flowers that range in color from lime to deep green, often with dark pistils. The buds are typically tightly packed and heavy, with a noticeable resinous feel on the bracts. When properly dried and cured, the flowers can exhibit a subtle glassy sheen.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Turpentine OG is dominated by sharp, pungent notes of pine and solvent, evoking fresh turpentine. Secondary scents include hints of citrus, eucalyptus, earth, and diesel. Its flavor profile closely mirrors the aroma, delivering a crisp pine taste on the inhale, complemented by citrus and resinous undertones.
Effects
While specific effects are not detailed in the provided notes, strains within the OG family and those emphasizing pine and citrus terpenes often provide a balanced experience. Consumers may anticipate a profile that is both uplifting and grounding, typical of well-cultivated hybrids.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Turpentine OG is characterized by a terpene profile dominated by alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and terpinolene, with supporting notes of limonene and beta-caryophyllene. This results in its signature pine and solvent aromatics. It is a THC-dominant (Type I) cultivar, typically containing 20-26% THC and less than 1% CBD, with other minor cannabinoids present in low percentages.
Growing
Turpentine OG is considered a boutique cultivar that thrives with careful cultivation. It is noted for its high resin production, making it attractive for extraction. Yields can be substantial in optimized indoor or outdoor environments, but require attention to humidity control, especially in late flower stages.
Origins & Lineage
The exact genetic lineage of Turpentine OG is not publicly standardized, with multiple clone-only variations existing. It is generally understood to be an OG Kush-dominant hybrid, potentially influenced by strains with strong pine and citrus characteristics, such as Pine Tar Kush or certain Jack Herer family lines. It emerged as a regional, boutique cut in the mid-to-late 2010s.
