Aspen OG
Aspen OG
Overview
Aspen OG is a sativa-leaning hybrid cannabis strain that exemplifies the rich cannabis heritage of Colorado's Rocky Mountains. Named after its frosty trichome clusters reminiscent of the snow-capped mountains in Aspen, the strain is a cross between Sour Cream and San Fernando Valley OG Kush. Bred by Colorado-based 303 Seeds, this strain produces a sweet and fruity aroma, including notes of berries and fresh pine. Royal King Seeds also breeds a variant of Aspen OG, crossing Sour Cream with Chemdawg instead. The buds display a yellowish-green color wrapped in orange hairs and a starry coverage of trichomes, with forest-green nugs that are notably resinous and crystally.
This strain is described as being "sweet like Aspen in the summer and coated white like Aspen in the winter," topped with glistening trichomes that shimmer like snow and has a pleasant aroma that smells like berries and sweet candies. The genetics trace back to distinguished parent strains, with Sour Cream being a cross of Sour Diesel and G13 Haze, while SFV OG provides the classic OG Kush lineage. The strain represents the convergence of old-school cannabis genetics that have maintained their popularity among connoisseurs who appreciate traditional, dank strains over modern exotic varieties.

Growing Information
Aspen OG is a sativa-leaning hybrid that stretches upward during its vegetative and flowering states, producing rock-hard compacted nugs in 63 to 70 days when grown indoors. The strain is considered difficult to grow and best reserved for experienced cultivators. Aspen OG prefers an outdoor, warm, and humid climate, but can thrive both indoors and outside. A Mediterranean climate is preferred as it offers ample sunshine, warmth, and the right amount of humidity. For novice growers, indoor or greenhouse cultivation is recommended for better control. The ideal temperature is between 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit with humidity levels of 40-70% during vegetative phase, decreasing to 40% during flowering. Expected yields are up to 400 grams per square meter indoors and 400 grams per plant outdoors, with a flowering time of 60-70 days. The plant is reported to be a pleasure to grow, staying healthy and green, liking lots of space for root development and cloning easily.
