What is the El Chapo OG strain?
El Chapo OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its sleepy effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
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.
