Maraschino OG
Also known as: Maraschino OG Kush, Maraschino
Maraschino OG Strain Overview
Maraschino OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to combine the relaxing qualities of OG Kush genetics with unique fruity terpenes. While its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, most sources agree it emerged in California's medical cannabis scene during the early 2010s, with breeders experimenting with various OG Kush phenotypes to achieve its characteristic cherry-like aroma.
The strain's name derives from its resemblance to maraschino cherries in both appearance and scent. Maraschino OG typically produces dense, conical buds with deep purple hues that contrast with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The purple coloration is more pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds often have a sticky resinous texture that makes them challenging to break apart by hand.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that combines earthy Kush undertones with sweet, fruity notes reminiscent of cherries and berries. The strain has become particularly valued by connoisseurs for its flavor consistency and reliable effects. While not as widely available as some mainstream OG varieties, Maraschino OG maintains a dedicated following in medical and recreational markets, especially among users seeking a flavorful experience with moderate psychoactivity.

Maraschino OG Strain Growing Information
Maraschino OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid-October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 5-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering to enhance purple coloration and prevent mold in dense buds.
