Al Capone
Al Capone
Also known as: Capone, Al Capone OG, Scarface
Overview
Al Capone is a cannabis strain that exists in multiple variations from different breeders, with the most prominent being Al Capone OG by Dankonomics Genetics and a separate Capone strain by Best Coast Genetics. The Dankonomics version is an indica-dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) created by crossing Ghost OG Kush (also known as Josh D OG or 1992 Florida OG) with Stardawg #2. This strain is considered extremely potent and challenging to grow, requiring additional calcium, magnesium, and sometimes silica supplementation.
The strain is characterized by dense, resin-covered buds with an intense aroma profile combining the deep, musty, lemony funk characteristic of OG Kush with fuel-like Chemdog and Skunk influences. Al Capone produces a powerful high that begins with cerebral euphoria and focus before transitioning into a deeply relaxing body stone that can be quite sedating. The strain's demanding cultivation requirements are often considered worthwhile due to its exceptional potency and unique terpene profile.

Growing Information
Al Capone OG is considered a challenging strain to cultivate, requiring intermediate to advanced growing skills. It has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors with average to heavy yields depending on phenotype and growing conditions. The strain can be grown indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse, though outdoor harvest typically occurs in mid to late October in northern latitudes. Plants require additional calcium and magnesium supplementation, with some phenotypes benefiting from silica supplements. Indoor plants typically reach 60-100cm in height for autoflowering versions, while regular versions can grow taller. The strain produces dense, resin-covered buds but demands attention to nutritional needs and environmental conditions.
