What is the Marathon OG strain?
Marathon OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 29.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Marathon OG, also known as "Marathon Kush," is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created as a phenotype of the potent OG Kush strain. This strain was meticulously selected for the late rapper Nipsey Hussle, its name serving as a homage to his series of famous mixtapes. The strain maintains a 70% indica and 30% sativa blend, inheriting the robust characteristics of its OG Kush parent. Marathon OG buds display a distinctive appearance with fluffy, oversized popcorn-shaped structures in vibrant minty green colors, interspersed with thick orange hairs and light amber undertones. The buds are coated in a frosty layer of tiny sparkling white crystal trichomes, giving them a dazzling, almost glittering appearance.
This select phenotype has gained immense popularity thanks to its unique flavor profile, high potency, and powerful effects, being bred specifically for connoisseurs seeking a top-tier cannabis experience. The strain inherits the deep, sedative effects typical of its indica lineage while incorporating uplifting effects reminiscent of its OG Kush heritage, making it highly sought after for its ability to provide profound relaxation without complete sedation. Marathon OG's terpene profile is characterized by a dominant presence of myrcene, complemented by notable concentrations of limonene and caryophyllene, which collectively contribute to its distinctive aroma, flavor, and therapeutic properties.
