OG Poison
Also known as: OG Poison Kush, Poison OG
What is the OG Poison strain?
OG Poison is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
OG Poison is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two prominent West Coast lineages. The strain was developed by crossing OG Kush with an undisclosed indica-dominant parent, though some sources suggest it may involve Poison OG or similar genetics. This combination creates a balanced hybrid with characteristics from both its indica and sativa heritage, though it typically leans slightly indica-dominant in its effects. The strain gained popularity in California's medical cannabis community before spreading to recreational markets in legalized states.
Visually, OG Poison buds are typically dense and compact with a classic OG structure, featuring dark green leaves with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced in cooler temperatures. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and often display vibrant orange pistils. The strain's aroma is complex, combining the fuel-like pungency characteristic of OG Kush with sweeter, earthier undertones from its indica parentage. Growers note that OG Poison maintains the robust growth patterns of its OG lineage while potentially offering improved resistance to certain pests and mold compared to some pure OG varieties.
OG Poison is known for its potent effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has become popular among both recreational and medical users seeking relief from various conditions while maintaining some functional clarity. Its balanced nature makes it suitable for various times of day, though some users report it may be too sedating in higher doses. The strain's genetics have also been used in breeding programs to create other popular hybrids, though its exact lineage beyond the OG Kush parent remains somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts and breeders.

How do you grow OG Poison?
OG Poison is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The strain typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Yields are average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-22 ounces per plant outdoors with optimal conditions. OG Poison grows well both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. The plants prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can improve yields and light penetration. Growers should monitor nutrient levels carefully as OG varieties can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain responds well to organic growing methods and produces dense, resinous buds that require proper drying and curing to develop their full flavor profile.
