Double Barrel OG
Also known as: Double Barrel OG Kush, DBOG
What is the Double Barrel OG strain?
Double Barrel OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Double Barrel OG is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the California cannabis scene. The strain was developed by crossing two well-established OG Kush phenotypes, creating what breeders describe as a 'double dose' of classic OG characteristics. Its name references both its genetic lineage and its powerful, concentrated effects that users compare to being hit with both barrels of a shotgun.
The strain features dense, resinous buds with a classic OG structure—compact, chunky nugs with vibrant orange pistils weaving through forest green calyxes. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance that hints at its potency. The aroma profile is distinctly Kush-forward, combining earthy pine notes with undertones of diesel and citrus, becoming more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Double Barrel OG has gained popularity among experienced cannabis consumers for its balanced yet powerful effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has become particularly noted in the medical cannabis community, though formal research remains limited. Its reputation has spread primarily through word-of-mouth in cannabis circles rather than through widespread commercial cultivation.

How do you grow Double Barrel OG?
Double Barrel OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid-October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and providing adequate support for branches as buds develop. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
