Ancient OG Project
Ancient OG Project
Also known as: Ancient OG F2 x F4
Overview
Ancient OG Project is a celebrated cannabis strain that traces its roots to the innovative breeding efforts of Motherlode Seeds, a California-based company known for their heavy-yielding genetics. This strain represents the culmination of years of selective breeding, combining Ancient OG F2 and Ancient OG F4 phenotypes to create a more refined version of the original Ancient OG lineage. The original Ancient OG genetics stem from a cross between an Iranian landrace strain and Snow Lotus, resulting in a predominantly indica-dominant hybrid that maintains the classic OG Kush heritage while incorporating contemporary breeding techniques. Ancient OG Project exhibits the characteristic OG appearance with small, fat, spade-shaped buds featuring light minty green coloration, dark orange hairs, and a generous coating of crystalline white trichomes. The strain is particularly noted for its robust terpene profile, with laboratory reports indicating total terpene levels as high as 1.8% in some samples, contributing to its intense and persistent aroma that combines spicy, woody, and earthy scents reminiscent of ancient forests with modern OG complexity.

Growing Information
Ancient OG Project is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with a flowering time of 8-10 weeks. The strain exhibits typical indica growth characteristics with a shorter, bushier plant structure that makes it well-suited for Sea of Green (SOG) growing methods. Indoor growers should maintain temperatures between 68-80°F and humidity levels of 40-50% during flowering for optimal resin production and terpene retention. The plant thrives in well-aerated, nutrient-rich organic soil and responds well to regular feeding with nitrogen during vegetative growth, transitioning to phosphorus and potassium-dominant fertilizers during flowering. Outdoor growers can expect harvest in early autumn, with the strain being particularly well-adapted to cooler climates due to its indica dominance. Known as a heavy yielder, some phenotypes can produce exceptional harvests when grown under optimal conditions.
