What is the Humboldt OG strain?
Humboldt OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Humboldt OG is an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain that is an Afghani descendant cultivated in the infamous Humboldt area. This upbeat, buzzy strain has roots in Northern California's fertile Humboldt County, and although its exact genetics and breeder aren't documented, this bud may have a connection to an Afghani indica landrace. The strain emerged from Northern California's marijuana heartland, with Humboldt County being part of the famed Emerald Triangle, the largest cannabis-cultivating locale in America.
Humboldt OG stands out right away with large, chunky flowers that tend to have an irregular formation when trimmed, ranging from roughly spherical to spade-like. They have a tight, indica-type bud structure, with small leaves that spiral tightly inward toward their central core. The leaves themselves are a dark shade of forest green and are threaded through with brown pistils. Finally, a dense cover of white trichomes gives these flowers an icy appearance and makes them very sticky and hard to break up by hand. The strain has an aroma that matches the flavor, with a deep sweet earth smell that's beautifully accented by fragrant florals and a touch of slightly pungent woodiness.
With a sweet earthy flavor and clear-headed effects, Humboldt OG is the perfect choice for any lover of classic hybrid effects who appreciates a great flavor. The strain's mysterious background hasn't stopped it from becoming popular around the world, establishing itself as a sought-after cultivar among cannabis enthusiasts and medical patients alike.
