Masala OG
Also known as: Masala OG Kush
Masala OG Strain Overview
Masala OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of OG Kush and a rare Indian landrace strain, resulting in a unique profile that blends classic West Coast cannabis characteristics with exotic Eastern influences. The strain was developed to create a complex aromatic experience reminiscent of traditional Indian spice blends (masalas), while maintaining the potent effects and structure of its OG Kush parent. Breeders sought to introduce novel terpene profiles from the Indian genetics while preserving the reliable growth patterns and resin production of established American varieties.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure, often displaying deep green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils. The name 'Masala' reflects the strain's complex aromatic profile, which combines earthy, spicy notes with the classic fuel-like undertones characteristic of OG Kush varieties.
Masala OG gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and unique flavor profile, though it remains less common than many mainstream OG varieties. The strain is particularly noted for its ability to provide both physical relaxation and mental stimulation, making it suitable for various times of day. Its relative rarity means that specific information about its exact genetic lineage beyond the basic parentage is sometimes inconsistent across sources, and phenotypes may vary between different breeders' versions of the strain.

Masala OG Strain Growing Information
Masala OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it prefers a controlled environment to maximize its genetic potential. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-5 feet indoors, 4-7 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Masala OG is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and may display enhanced coloration when exposed to cooler temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
