Fractal OG
Also known as: Fractal OG Kush
Fractal OG Strain Overview
Fractal OG is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure. Breeders developed this strain by crossing OG Kush with an undisclosed indica-dominant parent, creating a balanced hybrid that combines the classic OG Kush characteristics with enhanced physical relaxation. The strain gained popularity among connoisseurs for its complex terpene profile and visually striking appearance, featuring dense, resinous buds with a fractal-like pattern of orange pistils weaving through deep green calyxes.
The strain's name references both its genetic lineage from the OG Kush family and the intricate, repeating patterns visible in its bud structure under magnification. Fractal OG typically produces medium to large-sized plants with a moderate internodal distance and dark green foliage that sometimes develops purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The buds are exceptionally resinous, often appearing frosty with trichomes, and emit a pungent aroma that combines earthy, pine, and diesel notes with subtle citrus undertones.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Fractal OG has developed a dedicated following among experienced cannabis users who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's genetics have remained relatively stable within the breeding communities that maintain it, though variations may exist between different growers' phenotypes. As with many modern hybrids, precise documentation of its development history is limited, making some details about its creation uncertain.

Fractal OG Strain Growing Information
Fractal OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor conditions. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, implementing proper nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding, and employing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize yield and light penetration. The strain responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) methods.
