Also known as: Gas OG Kush, Gas OG Strain
Gas OG Strain Overview
Gas OG is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained significant popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California. The strain's exact genetic origins remain somewhat debated among cannabis historians, but it is widely believed to be a phenotype of OG Kush that was selected for its exceptionally pungent, fuel-like aroma. The name 'Gas OG' directly references this distinctive gassy scent that has become its trademark characteristic. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as part of the OG Kush family that dominated Southern California's medical cannabis market, with breeders selectively cultivating phenotypes that emphasized the diesel-like terpene profile.
Visually, Gas OG typically produces dense, resinous buds with a classic OG structure—compact, chunky flowers that are forest green with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures. The buds are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the dark green foliage. The leaves tend to curl slightly inward, a characteristic often seen in OG varieties. The strain's most notable feature is its powerful aroma, which combines pungent diesel fuel notes with undertones of earth, pine, and sometimes citrus.
Gas OG has become a foundational strain in modern cannabis breeding due to its robust genetic profile and distinctive terpene expression. It has been used extensively to create numerous popular hybrids, passing along its potent effects and signature gassy aroma to subsequent generations. The strain maintains a strong following among both recreational users and medical patients who appreciate its balanced yet powerful effects and complex flavor profile. While its exact lineage remains somewhat uncertain, its place in cannabis culture as a classic West Coast strain is well-established.

Gas OG Strain Growing Information
Gas OG is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity when grown outdoors. Gas OG plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure), careful nutrient management (sensitive to overfeeding), and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize yield. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
