Notorious OG
Also known as: Notorious OG Kush
Notorious OG Strain Overview
Notorious OG is a predominantly indica hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain was developed by crossing OG Kush with an undisclosed indica strain, resulting in a genetic profile that typically expresses 70-80% indica characteristics. Its name references both its powerful reputation and its OG Kush lineage, which remains one of the most influential genetic families in modern cannabis breeding. The strain emerged in the early 2010s within the California cannabis scene and has since spread to other legal markets, though it remains less common than its parent strain.
Visually, Notorious OG plants produce dense, resinous buds with a classic OG structure—compact, chunky flowers that are often lime green with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils. The strain's aroma is complex, combining the signature fuel and pine notes of OG Kush with additional earthy and citrus undertones. Growers note that Notorious OG maintains the distinctive chemical aroma that characterizes many OG varieties, though with slightly sweeter notes than some of its relatives.
Notorious OG is known for delivering a powerful, full-body effect that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to deep physical relaxation. The strain has gained a reputation among experienced users for its potency and long-lasting effects. While not as widely available as some mainstream OG varieties, Notorious OG has developed a dedicated following who appreciate its balanced hybrid effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's genetics make it suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications, though as with all cannabis products, individual experiences may vary.

Notorious OG Strain Growing Information
Notorious OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay medium in height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yields. Notorious OG requires good airflow to prevent mold in its dense buds and responds well to nutrient regimens designed for indica-dominant hybrids. The plants produce a strong odor during flowering, requiring carbon filtration for discreet indoor cultivation.
