Legion OG
Also known as: Legion OG Kush
Legion OG Strain Overview
Legion OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly gaining popularity in California. The strain is believed to be a phenotype of OG Kush, though its exact genetic origins remain somewhat debated among cultivators. Its name references both its potent effects and its connection to the legendary OG Kush lineage, with 'Legion' suggesting its powerful, army-like impact on users. The strain gained recognition through medical cannabis circles before becoming more widely available in recreational markets.
Visually, Legion OG features dense, chunky buds with a classic OG structure—tightly packed calyxes forming compact nuggets. The flowers typically display deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by a generous coating of frosty trichomes that give the buds a shimmering, crystalline appearance. Orange to rust-colored pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking contrast. The strain's aroma is distinctly Kush-like, with a complex profile that combines earthy, pine, and diesel notes with subtle citrus undertones.
Legion OG is known for its potent, long-lasting effects that are characteristic of high-quality OG varieties. The strain has maintained a dedicated following among indica enthusiasts who appreciate its reliable, heavy-hitting properties. While not as commercially widespread as some other OG phenotypes, Legion OG has developed a reputation as a connoisseur's choice within the OG Kush family, particularly valued by those seeking strong relaxation and sedation effects.

Legion OG Strain Growing Information
Legion OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 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 be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact for an indica, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Legion OG responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should maintain stable humidity levels, particularly during flowering, to prevent mold in the dense buds. The plants benefit from proper nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase when they develop their heavy resin production.
