Double Platinum
Also known as: Double Platinum OG, Platinum OG
What is the Double Platinum strain?
Double Platinum is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Double Platinum is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that has gained popularity for its heavy effects and distinctive appearance. The strain is believed to have originated from crossing Platinum OG with another potent indica, though its exact genetic lineage remains somewhat uncertain due to limited documentation. It first emerged in the cannabis market during the early 2010s, becoming particularly popular in the West Coast medical and recreational markets for its powerful sedative properties and high THC content.
The strain is characterized by its dense, chunky buds that are typically medium to large in size. The flowers display a striking appearance with deep forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty white trichomes that give the buds a "platinum" appearance, hence the name. The trichome coverage is exceptionally heavy, contributing to both the strain's potency and its visual appeal. The buds are often tightly packed with a solid, resinous structure that breaks apart to reveal complex aromatic profiles.
Double Platinum is known for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, diesel-like undertones with sweeter, fruity notes. The flavor profile typically follows the aroma, delivering a complex smoke that can be harsh on the throat due to its high resin content. The strain's effects are predominantly physical, with users reporting strong body relaxation that can be overwhelming for novice consumers. Its potency and specific terpene profile have made it a favorite among experienced users seeking relief from various conditions, though its exact genetic origins remain a subject of some debate within the cannabis community.

How do you grow Double Platinum?
Double Platinum is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. 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 warm, Mediterranean-like climates. Plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, characteristic of indica-dominant genetics. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate support for branches as the heavy buds develop. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
