Eighty One OG
Also known as: 81 OG
What is the Eighty One OG strain?
Eighty One OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Eighty One OG is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California. The strain's name references its purported genetic composition, which is said to be 81% indica and 19% sativa, though this ratio is approximate and varies by phenotype. Its exact origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources tracing it to California breeders who crossed classic OG Kush genetics with other indica-dominant varieties to create a potent, resinous strain with distinctive effects and flavor profile.
The strain is characterized by dense, chunky buds that are typically medium to large in size, with a forest green coloration often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its high potency. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, typical of indica-dominant hybrids. Eighty One OG has become known for its reliable effects and consistent quality when grown properly, making it a favorite among both recreational users and medical patients.
Notable features include its complex aroma profile that combines fuel, pine, and citrus notes, creating a distinctive scent that many cannabis connoisseurs appreciate. The strain has gained recognition for its balanced effects that provide both physical relaxation and mental clarity, making it suitable for various times of day. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, Eighty One OG has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities and continues to be cultivated by specialty growers who value its unique characteristics.

How do you grow Eighty One OG?
Eighty One OG is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold issues. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plant height is medium, usually reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors.
