Boston George
Also known as: Boston George OG
Boston George Strain Overview
Boston George is a hybrid cannabis strain named after George Jung, the infamous American drug smuggler who operated during the 1970s and 1980s. The strain's name pays homage to Jung's Boston connections and his prominent role in the cocaine trade, though ironically this cannabis variety has no direct connection to cocaine or its effects. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a potent, flavorful hybrid with balanced effects that would appeal to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex appearance. The flowers are often medium to large in size, featuring a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, while a thick coating of trichomes gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The visual presentation is generally considered attractive to cannabis connoisseurs.
Boston George is known for its well-balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among users who appreciate its versatility and reliable performance. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Boston George has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in regions where its namesake has cultural recognition.

Boston George Strain Growing Information
Boston George is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for spaces with limited vertical clearance. Boston George responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. The plants prefer a stable climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels, particularly during the flowering phase to prevent mold development in the dense buds.
