Overview

Malibu OG is a contemporary OG-family cultivar that gained popularity across Los Angeles dispensaries beginning in early 2020 before spreading throughout West Coast cannabis menus. This strain emerged as a contemporary OG-family cultivar that surged in popularity across Los Angeles dispensaries beginning in early 2020, then rippled outward through West Coast menus. In an urban market crowded with dessert hybrids, this cut found traction by leaning into classic Kush character—earth, fuel, and forest—with a distinctly beachy citrus snap. The strain's genetic lineage remains partially unknown, though it was bred by Malibu OG out of Los Angeles, California from a partly unknown genetic lineage, though it's generally assumed that OG Kush served as one of its parents based on the name and flavor. Over the last few years, Malibu OG has been embraced by connoisseurs who want an OG profile that's aromatic and potent but not incapacitating. The strain tends to offer a smooth ride: a mellower, sun-drenched cousin to more hammer-fisted OGs like Tahoe or SFV.

The strain exhibits classic OG architecture with medium-dense, golf-ball to spade-shaped colas with a classic OG architecture: elongated calyxes stacked around wiry stems. The color palette typically runs lime to forest green, punctuated by vibrant pumpkin-orange pistils that twine across the surface. Malibu OG has dense buds that are covered in a thick layer of resin, making it a great choice for making concentrates and extracts. The strain's terpene profile is dominated by myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene, creating its characteristic musky-citrus aroma with sweet Kush undertones that has made it a standout in the crowded California cannabis market.

Growing Information

Malibu OG exhibits classic OG growing characteristics with vigorous but manageable growth patterns. Indoor cultivation produces plants reaching up to 120cm in height, while outdoor plants can stretch to 200cm or more. The strain shows indica-dominant structure with large fan leaves and robust branching that supports heavy bud development. Flowering time is relatively short at 45-55 days indoors, making it attractive for commercial cultivation. Indoor yields average 450-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation in suitable climates can produce up to 600 grams per plant. The strain responds well to training techniques and benefits from light defoliation to expose bud sites. Growers should provide strong root aeration and calcium-magnesium support for optimal results.
