Marijuana Strain Descriptions
Fire OG
Cannabis Strain Summary
Terpene Profile- Primary
D-Limonene (sharp citrus/lemon notes); Myrcene (earthy, herbal undertones; contributes to sedative qualities); Beta-Caryophyllene (spicy, peppery, fuel/diesel notes; interacts with CB2 receptors); Linalool (subtle floral sweetness)
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Pinene (pine-forest notes); Humulene (woody, earthy tones); trace terpenes creating aromatic variations between batches. Overall profile: lemon-forward with diesel undertones, accented by earth, pine, and spice. Some batches show hints of skunk or mango.
The Experience- Common Effects
Deep physical relaxation; euphoria; mental calmness (after initial uplift); pronounced appetite stimulation; dry mouth; dry eyes; eventual sleepiness; enhanced sensory appreciation (music, food, textures); couch-lock effect; buzzing/tingling body sensations; time dilation
The Experience- Duration
2.5-4 hours total for smoking/vaporizing (2-3 hour peak); 4-6+ hours for edibles. Vaporizing at 350-375°F emphasizes citrus/pine terpenes with more energetic effects. Higher temps (375-400°F) release more sedative compounds. Low-temperature dabbing preserves maximum terpenes and intensity.
The Experience- Onset
Onset within 5-10 minutes of inhalation (longer for edibles). Initial phase: unexpected burst of cerebral energy, euphoria, mental stimulation, creativity, sociability (20-40 minutes). Transition: indica genetics assert dominance; body high builds gradually with pleasant warmth spreading through limbs and torso; muscle tension dissolves. Peak phase: predominantly physical with profound bodily relaxation; buzzing or tingling sensations; time perception shifts. Comedown: gentle with residual relaxation and sleepiness.
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dizziness; anxiety or paranoia (especially in those predisposed); excessive couch-lock; intense drowsiness interfering with activities; dry mouth and eyes. Risk of overwhelming effects with overconsumption in inexperienced users or those with low tolerance.
Strain Type
Indica-Dominant Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Morning or early afternoon use (unless schedule is clear); activities requiring coordination or mental focus; driving or operating machinery; social situations requiring alertness and active participation; high-energy activities; use by inexperienced consumers or those with low tolerance without proper dosing precautions
Lineage and Origins
Created in California during late 1990s-early 2000s by crossing OG Kush with San Fernando Valley OG Kush (SFV OG). Popularized by breeder OG Raskal. Known as one of the most potent OG phenotypes, earning the informal title 'The King of OG.' Spread from California dispensaries nationwide through clone propagation.
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 20-25% (occasionally higher in exceptional batches); CBD: Below 1% (typically 0.2-0.5%); Trace amounts of CBG, CBN, THCV. Some batches show elevated CBN contributing to sedative effects. High-potency classification suitable for experienced consumers with established tolerance.
Comparable Strains
White Fire OG (WiFi OG): Direct descendant (Fire OG x The White); more energetic and uplifting; less sedating despite similar potency; SFV OG Kush: Parent strain; shares heavy indica characteristics; slightly less potent; more immediately sedating without initial cerebral lift; OG Kush: Parent strain and genetic foundation; more balanced indica/sativa effects; less intense; slightly lower potency; Hell's Fire (Hell Fire OG): Fire OG descendant; more pronounced creative and euphoric effects; slightly less body-focused; Fire Alien Kush: Bred by OG Raskal; similar potency profile; more exotic terpene profile with heavier alien/fuel notes; potentially more cerebral

Cultivation Resilience
Moderate to heavy nutrient demands; appreciates robust feeding but sensitive to overfeeding (nutrient burn occurs quickly). Performs well in soil and hydroponic systems (hydro allows better nutrient control). Handles cooler temperatures well (65-80°F optimal). Highly susceptible to mold and mildew due to dense buds—requires humidity control (40-50% RH during flower) and proper air circulation. Heavy resin production attracts pests; requires preventive measures and regular monitoring.
Cultivation Flowering Time
9-10 weeks (63-70 days); some phenotypes benefit from 10-11 weeks for maximum resin production and bud density. Early harvest produces more energetic effects; late harvest emphasizes sedative qualities. Harvest timing affects potency and effect profile.
Cultivation Yield
Indoor: 14-18 ounces per square meter (400-500 grams/m²); Outdoor: 15-21 ounces per plant (425-600 grams/plant) in favorable climates. Requires warm, sunny, Mediterranean-type conditions outdoors. Dense, resinous buds appear smaller by volume than fluffier strains of similar weight. Moderate to challenging cultivation difficulty; better suited for experienced growers.
Cultivation Plant Structure
Typical indica structure: compact, bushy plants with strong lateral branching. Height: 3-4 feet indoors at maturity. Stretching during early flowering can double vegetative height. Responds well to topping, LST (low-stress training), and SCROG techniques. Dense bud structure characteristic of the strain.
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Bright orange pistils against deep green buds; heavy trichome coverage creating crystalline sparkle; dense, sticky bud structure leaving resin on fingers; pungent, complex aroma with strong lemon-citrus and fuel undertones; smooth smoke/vapor with prominent lemon-pine flavors followed by earthy, diesel exhale. Inferior quality shows: muted colors, sparse trichomes, loose structure, weak/hay-like aroma, harsh smoke with minimal flavor.
