G-High
Also known as: G-High OG, G-High Kush
G-High Strain Overview
G-High is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cultivators, it is generally accepted to be a cross between OG Kush and an unknown indica-dominant strain, possibly related to the G13 lineage. The strain gained popularity in medical and recreational markets for its balanced effects and distinctive aromatic profile. Breeders developed G-High with the intention of creating a versatile strain that could appeal to both recreational users seeking euphoric effects and medical users looking for physical relaxation.
Visually, G-High plants produce dense, resinous buds that typically display a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the darker foliage. The strain's buds are known for their compact structure and sticky texture, which can make them somewhat challenging to break apart by hand. G-High plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy growth pattern, making them suitable for various cultivation environments.
Notable characteristics of G-High include its complex terpene profile that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes with subtle diesel undertones. The strain is recognized for producing effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation, creating what users describe as a 'creeper' effect that gradually intensifies. While G-High has gained a following in certain cannabis communities, it remains less documented than many mainstream strains, and some information about its specific genetics and history should be considered somewhat speculative due to limited peer-reviewed research.

G-High Strain Growing Information
G-High is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October when grown outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. G-High plants prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels. They can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. The plants tend to reach a medium height of 4-6 feet, with indica-dominant structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining good airflow to prevent mold in dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering stage.
