Crown OG
Crown OG
Also known as: Crown OG Kush
Overview
Crown OG is a 100% pure indica strain developed by Crown Genetics in 2012 from proprietary OG Kush genetics. This potent strain emerged on the California cannabis scene and quickly gained recognition for its exceptional quality, winning 3rd place for 'Best Indica Concentrate' at the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup and 1st place in the 2015 High Times Denver Cannabis Cup for the same category. The strain was created through selective breeding using San Fernando Valley OG Kush and King Louis genetics, resulting in what many consider a supercharged version of the classic OG Kush lineage.
Crown OG produces dense, spade-shaped buds that display a mossy green color with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of milky white trichomes that give the flowers a distinctive silvery sheen. The buds are notably sticky and resist breaking apart due to their compact structure. Despite being classified as pure indica, Crown OG offers a unique balanced effect profile that combines traditional indica relaxation with cerebral euphoria, making it distinctive among heavy indica strains. The strain typically exhibits high THC concentrations ranging from 23-28%, making it unsuitable for novice users and requiring careful attention to dosage and setting.

Growing Information
Crown OG cultivation requires intermediate to advanced growing experience due to its sensitivity to environmental variables. The strain performs best in controlled indoor environments with temperatures between 70-80°F during vegetative growth and slightly cooler (65-75°F) during flowering. Humidity should be maintained at 40-60% during vegetative stage, dropping to 30-50% during flowering to prevent mold. Crown OG has a flowering time of 7-9 weeks indoors and finishes in late September to early October outdoors. The strain responds well to hydroponic systems and benefits from training techniques like LST, SCROG, and topping. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor plants producing approximately 12 ounces per plant and outdoor plants yielding similar amounts under optimal conditions. The strain requires attention to nutrient management and benefits from full-spectrum LED lighting. Currently available primarily as clone-only, though some seed versions exist.
