Lake OG
Lake OG Strain Overview
Lake OG is an award-winning indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Accelerator Seeds. This strain emerged from a unique discovery at Cannabis Cup #24 in Amsterdam in 2011, where judges sampled what would become the source material for this exceptional cultivar. The breeder obtained just two seeds from the actual competition entry that impressed judges with its power and flavor profile, preserving these genetics for nearly five years before releasing Lake OG to the public. Lake OG is described as a selected Tahoe OG phenotype that was specifically chosen for its vigor, exceptional yield potential, and notably chunky bud structure.
The strain exhibits a classic Christmas tree-like growth pattern with robust plant structure suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Lake OG requires patience from growers, as it demands a full 10-week flowering period to reach its full potential - with the final week being crucial for developing the strain's characteristic flavor, density, and potency. The buds are notably large and dense, featuring an unmistakable aromatic profile dominated by spices and sweet licorice, complemented by underlying musky, woody, and minty notes. This strain has gained recognition in Amsterdam's cannabis scene, frequently appearing at the top of coffeeshop menus and earning multiple awards including 1st place in the Elite Cup 420 edition Hybrid Category (Elite judges) and 2nd place in the same competition's Public Judges category in 2017.
