Also known as: El Chapo, Shorty
El Chapo OG Strain Overview
El Chapo OG is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created through a three-way cross of Face Off OG, SFV OG, and OG Kush. Named after the notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, though its history is quite different from its namesake. The strain was first bred in California, though the original breeder is not publicly known. With THC levels typically ranging from 19-23% on average, with some phenotypes testing as high as 28%, El Chapo OG is recognized as one of the more potent strains in the cannabis market. The buds are characterized by dense, round forest green nugs with long thin orange hairs and a thick coating of light amber crystal trichomes. Note that there is also a separate strain simply called "El Chapo" by Sour Genetics/The Plug that crosses Sour Diesel IBL with Headbanger, which should not be confused with this OG variant.

El Chapo OG Strain Growing Information
El Chapo OG thrives in both indoor and outdoor settings, with controlled indoor environments often yielding superior results. Indoor growers can achieve yields ranging from 450 to 600 grams per square meter. For outdoor cultivation, sunny Mediterranean-like conditions are ideal, with average temperatures between 70°F to 85°F. Outdoor plants can yield more than 600g per plant under optimal conditions and are typically ready for harvest by early October. The strain is sensitive to cold, so growers in cooler climates may find more success with indoor cultivation. Training techniques like Sea of Green (SOG) or Screen of Green (SCROG) are recommended to boost yields. Cultivation demands precision and expertise due to its potent genetics, requiring ideal environmental controls and nutrient-rich soil to maximize resin production.
