Limonene (lemon zest, sharp citrus); Beta-pinene (fresh pine needle, brisk green); Primary aromatic signature combines bright citrus with pine freshness

Myrcene (earthy, musky, herbal); Beta-caryophyllene (spicy, peppery); Humulene (woody, hoppy); Linalool (floral, lavender-like); trace Terpinolene; diesel-fuel esters emerge when ground; total terpene content 1.5-3.0% by dry weight, elite batches exceed 3.0%

Functional relaxation with mental clarity and physical energy; gentle contentment rather than overwhelming euphoria; increased appreciation for music, food, visual media; enhanced sensory perception; rarely produces intense giggles or manic energy; calm positive outlook; decreased muscle tension; reduced perception of minor aches and discomfort; effective for tension headaches, joint stiffness, stress-related muscle tightness; relaxation doesn't typically progress to sedation unless higher doses or evening use

Peak effects last 1.5-2.5 hours; mental euphoria maintains intensity for first 90 minutes then gradually tapers; physical relaxation extends beyond mental effects, persisting 3-4 hours; total duration baseline-to-baseline: 3-4 hours for inhalation methods; edibles/tinctures: 45-90 minute onset, 6-8 hour duration

Onset within 2-5 minutes (smoked/vaped); begins with pressure/warmth behind eyes and forehead (classic OG signature); mental effects arrive first: mood lifting, gentle euphoria, increased sensory awareness; clear-headed rather than disorienting; cerebral experience builds over 10-15 minutes into comfortable headspace with mild creative stimulation; physical sensations manifest 10-20 minutes after onset; muscle relaxation begins in neck/shoulders, spreads through body as warm gentle wave; pleasant heaviness without true couch-lock; movement remains possible and enjoyable

Dry mouth (cottonmouth) - manage with hydration; dry eyes - use lubricating drops; more pronounced with combustion than vaporization; slight energy dip or crash as effects taper with higher doses; occasional mild anxiety or paranoia in sensitive individuals or with excessive dosing, particularly in unfamiliar settings; less common than pure sativas but possible due to high THC; start with smaller doses in comfortable environments to minimize risk

Indica-Dominant Hybrid

Activities requiring peak mental sharpness or physical coordination; operating vehicles or machinery; complex analytical work; individuals with low THC tolerance should start with very small amounts; those with anxiety sensitivity should consider CBD-rich alternatives

Emerged from San Fernando Valley in mid-2000s through breeder Swerve at Cali Connection Farms; phenotype selection from OG Kush (descended from Hindu Kush x Chemdawg); Cali Connection seed line crossed with Afghani #1 for stability; clone-only original cut predates stabilized seed versions; distributed within small grower circles 2005-2007 before wider availability

THC: 17-22% typical range, exceptional batches reach 25-29%; CBD: negligible, typically below 1%, often 0.1-0.3%; CBG: trace amounts 0.1-0.8%; CBD-rich versions available (1:1 ratio, 5-12% each cannabinoid) created by crossing with high-CBD cultivars; THCA 20-25% pre-decarboxylation; high THC delivers pronounced psychoactive effects moderated by terpene profile

Tahoe OG - Fellow OG Kush descendant from Lake Tahoe; shares lemon-pine-fuel terpenes and OG genetics; DIFFERENCE: heavier indica with more sedation, less functional daytime use; Larry OG - California OG phenotype, similar potency and citrus profile; DIFFERENCE: creamier less sharp lemon, more body-focused relaxation; Ghost OG - OG Kush phenotype with balanced effects and similar terpenes; DIFFERENCE: more balanced indica/sativa, slightly more cerebral stimulation; Fire OG - San Fernando Valley OG descendant, shares regional genetics and fuel characteristics; DIFFERENCE: more intensely sedating with earthy depth, stronger couch-lock; WiFi OG - OG genetics hybrid, comparable potency and versatility; DIFFERENCE: more euphoric headiness, emphasizes mental over physical effects

Moderate pest and disease resistance; vulnerable to mold and mildew due to dense bud structure in high humidity; maintain 55% RH vegetative, reduce to 40-45% late flowering; strong airflow essential through canopy via strategic pruning and fans; outdoor cultivation requires dry warm climates (Southern California-like); extended rainy periods during flowering pose significant mold risks; greenhouse with light deprivation offers excellent middle path

Indoor: 56-70 days (8-10 weeks), optimal harvest 63-65 days (9 weeks); earlier harvest 56-60 days for brighter cerebral expression; longer 70+ days for more sedative effects with amber trichomes; Outdoor: early-to-mid October in Northern Hemisphere temperate zones; Afghani influence provides some cold tolerance but vulnerable to heavy rain or early frost during flowering

Indoor: 10-16 ounces per square meter (280-450g/m²), experienced growers with advanced techniques achieve higher end; prioritizes quality over quantity; moderate yields justified by exceptional resin content and terpene expression; Outdoor: 12-20 ounces (340-570g) per plant in optimal conditions, larger plants in ideal climates occasionally exceed; in-ground cultivation with full sun, rich soil, proper nutrition produces most substantial harvests

Medium-height indoors: 3-4 feet (90-120cm) under standard conditions; vegetative period 20-30 days for adequate branching; moderately thick stems with sturdy branches; responds well to topping, super cropping, Screen of Green (ScrOG); heaviest colas may need staking or trellising late flowering; demands consistent environmental conditions; temperature 70-80°F (21-27°C) vegetative, 65-75°F (18-24°C) flowering

Dense tightly-stacked calyxes; thick blanket of milky-white trichomes extending to sugar leaves; prominent orange-to-rust colored pistils; immediate sharp lemon-fuel-pine aroma when opened; sticky slightly-resistant texture when broken apart; visible resin with cloudy-to-amber trichome heads (not clear or degraded); proper 2-4 week cure develops full terpene profile; chlorophyll smell disappears; controlled humidity curing 58-62% RH minimal light; well-cured remains aromatic and potent 6-12 months properly stored
