Diagonal OG
Also known as: Diagonal, Diagonal Kush
What is the Diagonal OG strain?
Diagonal OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Diagonal OG is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with most sources suggesting it was developed by underground breeders in California who crossed classic OG Kush genetics with other potent indica-dominant varieties. The name 'Diagonal' reportedly refers to the strain's unique growth pattern, where branches tend to develop at diagonal angles rather than growing straight upward, creating a distinctive visual appearance.
The strain produces dense, conical buds with a classic OG structure, featuring dark green foliage often accented by deep purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are typically coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and vibrant orange pistils, giving them a visually striking appearance. Diagonal OG is known for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, diesel-like notes with subtle undertones of pine and citrus, characteristic of its OG Kush lineage.
While not as widely documented as more mainstream OG varieties, Diagonal OG has maintained a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's rarity means it's primarily found in select dispensaries in legal states and among specialty growers rather than being mass-produced commercially. Its genetic stability and consistent performance have contributed to its enduring popularity despite limited mainstream recognition.

How do you grow Diagonal OG?
Diagonal OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants typically reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage the diagonal branching pattern and maximize light exposure.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow due to the dense bud structure, monitoring for pests (particularly spider mites), and implementing a gradual nutrient reduction during the final weeks of flowering to enhance flavor development. The strain responds well to organic growing methods and produces its best results with consistent environmental conditions.
