Crash OG
Also known as: Crash OG Kush
Crash OG Strain Overview
Crash OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its potent effects and complex flavor profile. Its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within the cannabis community, but it is widely believed to be a phenotype or cross of the legendary OG Kush lineage, potentially with other undisclosed genetics. The strain emerged in the early 2010s, primarily on the West Coast of the United States, and has since become a staple in many dispensaries due to its reliable and powerful experience. It is named for its reputation to induce a deeply relaxing, 'couch-locking' effect that can 'crash' a user into a state of profound calm.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds that are forest green in color, often accented with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes. The aroma is pungent and complex, blending classic Kush earthiness with sharp notes of pine and a distinct, fuel-like diesel undertone. Upon consumption, the flavor profile expands to include subtle hints of citrus and spice. Crash OG is known for its high trichome production, making it a popular choice for concentrate and extract production. Its balanced hybrid nature offers a combination of cerebral and physical effects, though it tends to lean indica-dominant in its overall impact.

Crash OG Strain Growing Information
Crash OG is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors. The plant tends to stay relatively compact, with an average indoor height of 3 to 4 feet, making it manageable for limited spaces. It can also be grown outdoors in a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with a harvest ready around late September to early October. Indoor yields are typically moderate to high, with proper training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) recommended to maximize light exposure and bud production. The plant is resilient but requires good airflow to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure. It responds well to both soil and hydroponic setups.
