Illuminati OG
Illuminati OG
Also known as: Illuminati, 3C Illuminati OG
Overview
Illuminati OG is a rare indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged from Josh D's 1996 Club 33 OG phenome, making it part of the legendary OG Kush family tree that forms the genetic backbone of many West Coast cannabis varieties. Despite its widespread influence in cannabis genetics, the strain's exact origins remain shrouded in mystery, much like its enigmatic namesake. The strain is believed to be a direct cut or selection from OG Kush genetics, with some sources suggesting crosses with Triangle Kush or other unknown indica-dominant strains.
Illuminati OG produces dense, olive-green heart-shaped buds adorned with bright amber hairs and a generous coating of crystalline trichomes. The colas display beautiful green tones with triangle-shaped formations characteristic of premium OG genetics. The strain is renowned for its pungent, complex aroma profile that combines fresh pine and citrus top notes with deeper diesel fuel undertones and a spicy, peppery kush base. When broken apart, the buds release additional floral sweetness that enhances the overall sensory experience. This mysterious cultivar has gained legendary status among cannabis connoisseurs for its potent effects, distinctive appearance, and the air of intrigue surrounding its lineage.

Growing Information
Illuminati OG is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, best suited for experienced growers. The strain exhibits classic OG growth patterns with a lanky yet rigid structure and pronounced stretch of 1.5-2x during the first two weeks of flowering. Flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks (56-70 days), with optimal harvest around day 63-67 for peak trichome development. Indoor yields typically range from 350-500g/m² with proper training techniques like SCROG or topping. The plants prefer warm, controlled environments with temperatures of 70-80°F during vegetation and 65-75°F during flowering. Humidity should be maintained at 50-70% in veg, reducing to 40-50% in flower to prevent mold. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic systems, though soil cultivation may enhance its natural terpene profile. Plants require high-intensity lighting and benefit from training techniques to manage their stretchy growth habit. Outdoor cultivation is possible in warm, temperate climates with harvest occurring in early-to-mid October.
