Motor OG
Also known as: Motor OG Kush, Motor OG Diesel
What is the Motor OG strain?
Motor OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Motor OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its balanced effects and distinctive aromatic profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, but most sources trace it to a cross between Motorbreath and OG Kush, two well-established strains in the cannabis world. This lineage combines the potent, fuel-like characteristics of Motorbreath with the classic pine and citrus notes of OG Kush, resulting in a strain that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users. The strain emerged in the early 2010s and has since developed a following among those seeking a reliable, moderately potent hybrid.
Motor OG plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers are often medium to large in size, featuring a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange to rust-colored pistils provide visual contrast. The strain's name references both its genetic background and its reported effects, which users describe as providing both mental stimulation and physical relaxation.
Notable features of Motor OG include its complex aroma profile and consistent effects. The strain has become known for its ability to deliver what many users describe as a 'balanced high' that doesn't typically overwhelm with either cerebral or physical sensations. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Motor OG has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among growers who appreciate its reliable performance and distinctive characteristics. Its moderate THC levels make it accessible to a range of consumers, from experienced users to those with moderate tolerance.

How do you grow Motor OG?
Motor OG is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early 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 performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training 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 responds well to organic growing methods and produces abundant resin, making it suitable for extraction purposes.
