Dante OG
Also known as: Dante Kush, Dante's OG
Dante OG Strain Overview
Dante OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that originated in Southern California's medical cannabis community during the early 2000s. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a potent, relaxing strain with complex flavor profiles suitable for evening use. Its exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with multiple California breeders claiming development, though most sources trace it to the Los Angeles area's medical cannabis scene where it gained popularity among patients seeking relief from various conditions.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that typically display a deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the darker foliage. Dante OG's buds tend to be compact and tightly structured, typical of indica varieties, with a sticky texture that makes them somewhat challenging to break apart by hand.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and potent effects that have made it a favorite among indica enthusiasts. The strain has maintained consistent popularity in California's cannabis market and has spread to other legal markets, though it remains most closely associated with its West Coast origins. Dante OG is considered a reliable evening strain due to its predominantly relaxing effects, though some phenotypes may exhibit slightly more balanced hybrid characteristics.

Dante OG Strain Growing Information
Dante OG is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Dante OG requires good airflow and careful humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as its dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Some phenotypes may display purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
