CPT OG
Also known as: Captain OG, Cape Town OG
CPT OG Strain Overview
CPT OG is a hybrid cannabis strain whose exact origins remain somewhat obscure, though it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The name 'CPT' is commonly understood to stand for 'Cape Town,' suggesting a possible connection to South African genetics, though this lineage is not definitively documented. The 'OG' designation indicates its membership in the prestigious OG Kush family, a lineage known for producing potent, resinous varieties with distinctive aromas. The strain has gained a following among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile, though it remains less commercially widespread than some of its OG relatives.
The plant typically exhibits a classic indica-dominant structure with dense, conical buds that are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, silver appearance. The buds are often deep green with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the dense floral clusters, creating a visually striking contrast. The aroma is a complex blend of fuel, pine, and citrus with underlying earthy notes, characteristic of its OG heritage.
CPT OG is noted for providing a well-rounded experience that begins with cerebral stimulation before settling into full-body relaxation. This progression makes it suitable for evening use when users seek to unwind without immediate sedation. The strain's potency and terpene profile have made it a subject of interest for both recreational users and those exploring cannabis for wellness purposes, though comprehensive laboratory data remains limited compared to more established commercial strains.

CPT OG Strain Growing Information
CPT OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields are moderate to high, approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold. Plants tend to stay relatively compact indoors (3-4 feet) but can stretch to 5-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation due to the dense bud structure and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize yield potential.
