Blood Diamond OG
Blood Diamond OG
Also known as: Blood Diamond, Diamond OG, Diamond OG Kush
Overview
Blood Diamond OG is a potent indica-dominant cannabis strain that serves as a phenotype or descendant of the legendary OG Kush. Originally developed by Mendocino Clone Company in Northern California, this strain has gained significant popularity among cultivators and consumers for its exceptional potency and striking visual characteristics. The strain derives its name from its beautiful coloration - featuring dark purple and reddish hues throughout the buds and sugar leaves that create a stunning contrast with its heavy coating of diamond-like white trichomes, especially when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering. Blood Diamond OG represents a modern evolution of OG Kush genetics, combining the classic OG structure with enhanced resin production and coloration. The strain was initially available only as clones but has since become available in seed form from various breeders. Its genetics trace back to the OG Kush lineage, which includes ancestors such as Lemon Thai, Chemdawg, and Old World Paki Kush, though some sources suggest crosses with other OG variants including Tahoe Kush, Orange Kush, and Lemon Kush.

Growing Information
Blood Diamond OG can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though it prefers the stability of indoor environments. The strain has a flowering period of 8-10 weeks (with some sources citing up to 13 weeks or 90 days). It exhibits classic OG Kush growth characteristics with a lanky, medium-to-tall structure that stretches significantly during early flowering, often doubling in size. The plants develop long, vine-like but sturdy branches with significant spacing between nodes. Indoor yields are reported as medium to high, with some growers achieving over 1.6 oz per square foot. The strain is known for its aggressive growth nature and natural disease resistance, making it relatively easy to grow even for novice cultivators. Outdoor cultivation requires semi-arid conditions as high humidity can lead to mold or mildew issues. The strain is prized by growers for its heavy resin production and striking visual appeal.
