Method OG
Also known as: Method, Method Kush
Method OG Strain Overview
Method OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, but it is generally believed to have emerged from California's medical cannabis scene in the early 2010s. Breeders sought to create a strain that combined the relaxing body effects of classic indicas with the cerebral stimulation of sativas, resulting in this carefully crafted hybrid.
The strain's name references both its 'methodical' breeding process and its OG Kush heritage. Method OG typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep green foliage accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The buds often have a slightly conical structure with tight internodal spacing, giving them a compact, robust appearance that appeals to both cultivators and consumers.
Notable features of Method OG include its versatility and consistency. The strain has maintained relatively stable genetics over time, making it a reliable choice for those seeking predictable effects. Its balanced nature has made it popular among both recreational users seeking a well-rounded experience and medical users looking for symptom relief without excessive sedation or stimulation.

Method OG Strain Growing Information
Method OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. 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 cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Method OG responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields.
Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Harvest timing is crucial for optimal terpene development and effect profile.
