Hazelnut OG
Also known as: Hazelnut OG Kush, Hazelnut Kush
Hazelnut OG Strain Overview
Hazelnut OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its distinctive nutty flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is generally believed to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, likely as a phenotype selection or cross involving OG Kush genetics. Breeders sought to combine the classic structure and potency of OG Kush with unique aromatic qualities, resulting in this strain that stands out for its dessert-like sensory characteristics.
The strain exhibits a dense, chunky bud structure typical of Kush varieties, with forest green nugs often accented by amber and orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The most notable feature of Hazelnut OG is its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, woody base notes with distinct hazelnut and coffee undertones, often accompanied by subtle hints of spice and pine. This makes it particularly appealing to users who appreciate strains with dessert or gourmet flavor profiles rather than traditional fruity or diesel aromas.
Hazelnut OG represents a relatively modern development in cannabis breeding where emphasis is placed on creating unique flavor experiences while maintaining reliable effects. The strain has gained a following among connoisseurs but remains less common than mainstream OG varieties. Its balanced genetic profile makes it suitable for various consumption times, though it tends to lean slightly toward indica-dominant effects as the experience progresses.

Hazelnut OG Strain Growing Information
Hazelnut OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with low humidity. Plants tend to stay at a medium height, making them manageable for indoor grows, and respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Growers should monitor for common pests and maintain good airflow to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when dense buds develop.
