Jet Lag OG
Also known as: Jet Lag, Jet Lag Kush
Jet Lag OG Strain Overview
Jet Lag OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its potent sedative effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is widely believed to be a cross between two well-known West Coast varieties: OG Kush and an undisclosed indica strain, possibly related to the Afghani or Hindu Kush lineages. The name 'Jet Lag' references the strain's reputation for inducing deep relaxation and sleepiness, similar to the disorienting fatigue experienced after long-distance travel. First appearing in California's medical cannabis scene in the early 2010s, Jet Lag OG has since spread to legal markets across North America, though it remains less common than its parent strains.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds with a classic indica structure—compact and chunky with tightly packed calyxes. The flowers exhibit a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accentuated by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of milky-white trichomes. The visual appeal is enhanced by the strain's frosty appearance, which signals its high cannabinoid content. Growers note that Jet Lag OG maintains the characteristic 'OG' bud structure with slightly elongated colas and a pungent aroma that intensifies during the flowering phase.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile and consistent potency. While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Jet Lag OG has developed a dedicated following among indica enthusiasts who appreciate its reliable effects and distinctive flavor. The strain is particularly noted for its ability to deliver strong physical relaxation without complete mental sedation, allowing users to remain somewhat functional at lower doses while experiencing full-body calm. This balance makes it suitable for evening use when relaxation is desired but complete incapacitation is not.

Jet Lag OG Strain Growing Information
Jet Lag OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with low humidity. Plants tend to stay relatively compact for an indica, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and implementing low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration. Jet Lag OG responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though soil cultivation may enhance the terpene profile. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering stage.
