Medical OG Widow
Also known as: Medical OG Widow Kush, MOG Widow
Medical OG Widow Strain Overview
Medical OG Widow is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between two legendary parent strains: OG Kush and White Widow. This combination brings together the potent, relaxing qualities of OG Kush with the balanced, euphoric effects of White Widow. The strain was developed specifically with therapeutic applications in mind, though its exact breeding history and origin remain somewhat obscure in cannabis literature. It gained popularity in medical cannabis circles during the early 2000s, particularly in North American markets where both parent strains had established strong followings.
The plant typically displays characteristics inherited from both parents, with dense, resinous buds that feature a mix of deep green and purple hues, often covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give it a frosty appearance. The buds are usually medium to large in size with orange pistils weaving through the dense flower structure. The strain's name reflects its intended purpose and genetic heritage, combining 'Medical' to indicate its therapeutic orientation, 'OG' from OG Kush, and 'Widow' from White Widow.
Medical OG Widow is noted for its balanced effects that many users find suitable for daytime or evening use, depending on individual tolerance and the specific phenotype. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in medical dispensaries despite not achieving the widespread commercial recognition of its parent strains. Its relatively stable genetics make it a reliable choice for both cultivators and consumers seeking predictable effects and therapeutic benefits.

Medical OG Widow Strain Growing Information
Medical OG Widow 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 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring for common cannabis pests. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and produces its best results in soil or soilless mixes.
