Face Off OG
Also known as: Face Off, OG Face Off, Face Off OG Kush, Faceoff OG Kush
What is the Face Off OG strain?
Face Off OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Face Off OG originated in Southern California in the late 1990s when Archive Seeds was gifted seeds of an exceptional OG Kush phenotype. This 70/30 indica-dominant hybrid shares its name with the 1997 Nicolas Cage and John Travolta movie Face/Off, and the experience this strain offers could arguably be compared to "losing your face." While Face Off OG's exact parentage remains somewhat elusive, most historians agree it's a potent phenotype of OG Kush that circulated through California's underground market as particularly excellent batches in the late 1990s. Archive Seed Bank received a half-dozen Face Off OG seeds from California and selected phenotype #4 for its distinct flavor and skull-crushing high. Archive later developed stabilized backcross versions (BX1 and BX2) and used Face Off OG genetics to create notable hybrids including Do-Si-Dos and Oregon Lemons.
Face Off OG produces dense, medium-sized buds displaying lime-green coloration covered in thick frost and resin glands that sparkle under light, with fiery orange pistils weaving through the trichome forest. The strain is distinguished by its lemon-pine-diesel aroma with sweet, earthy, and pine-like characteristics. This potent strain delivers dizzying euphoria that goes straight to the head in an intensely psychoactive experience best reserved for veteran consumers, as even the most experienced cannabis users find it difficult to medicate with. Face Off OG remains one of the purest and most potent expressions of California's OG Kush heritage, representing a cornerstone of West Coast cannabis culture with its unique combination of resin-heavy buds and body-melting effects.

How do you grow Face Off OG?
Face Off OG has a flowering time of 7-9 weeks indoors with yields of 10-12 ounces per square meter. Outdoor plants are ready for harvest in late September to mid-October, producing up to 12 ounces per plant under expert care. Face Off OG is available only as clone-only cuts and requires experienced growers, as it's considered too difficult for novice or intermediate cultivators. Plants can reach up to 8 feet in height and prefer temperatures of 70-80°F with slightly cooler nights, and humidity levels of 30-50% during both vegetative and flowering stages. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping, LST (Low Stress Training), and ScrOG methods to promote bud production and increase yields. Face Off OG thrives indoors under controlled environments, though outdoor cultivation can succeed in warm, dry climates similar to Southern California.
