What is the HG23 strain?
HG23 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and diesel and earthy flavor profile.
HG23, also known as Michael Jordan, is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by DNA Genetics through crossing two award-winning Cannabis Cup winners: Holy Grail Kush and Kosher Kush. This strain bears the iconic basketball legend's jersey number 23, with the 'HG' referring to its Holy Grail heritage. The parent strains bring impressive pedigrees - Kosher Kush is a two-time High Times Cannabis Cup Best Indica winner (2010 & 2011) and even earned Best Strain overall in 2011, while Holy Grail Kush earned Best Hybrid in the 2011 Cannabis Cup with a perfect score. HG23 features approximately 80% indica genetics with a touch of sativa from its OG Kush ancestry. With THC levels testing around 20% or higher, this strain delivers championship-level potency. Plants display a mostly indica profile with a structure that's slightly slimmer than pure indicas, featuring broad lower leaves and finer upper leaves of a rich green hue, forming a dominant central cola. It's considered one of the most odorous OG Kush descendant strains, producing pungent cannabis plants typical of their legendary lineage.

How do you grow HG23?
HG23 flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors with yields of 400-500g/m² (14-16 oz/m²). Plants can be grown indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouse conditions, preferring temperatures around 75°F (24°C) with moderate humidity (~50%). The strain responds well to canopy optimization techniques like topping, pinching, LST, and SCROG due to its natural growth structure with a full central cola and lower secondary branches. This strain can handle moderate to heavy feeding, especially extra phosphorus and potassium during flowering, though its bushy structure may require pruning of large fan leaves blocking light to lower bud sites. Buds are rock-hard, densely packed, and glistening with resin, making them excellent for resin extraction. The strain is fairly resistant to pests and diseases and thrives best in a stable climate with moderate humidity and temperatures.
