OG Rooibaard
Also known as: OG Redbeard
OG Rooibaard Strain Overview
OG Rooibaard is a relatively rare cannabis strain that appears to have origins in South Africa, as suggested by its name. 'Rooibaard' translates to 'red beard' in Afrikaans, likely referring to the distinctive reddish-orange pistils that characterize this cultivar. The strain combines classic OG Kush genetics with local South African landrace varieties, resulting in a unique hybrid that maintains the structural characteristics of OG Kush while incorporating regional terpene profiles. The exact genetic lineage remains somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders, suggesting it may have been developed by smaller-scale cultivators rather than major commercial seed companies.
Visually, OG Rooibaard plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a notable abundance of fiery orange pistils that contrast against the deep green foliage. The flowers are often coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma profile combines earthy, piney notes characteristic of OG Kush with subtle citrus undertones and a distinctive spicy, peppery quality that may derive from its South African heritage. The flavor when consumed generally follows the aromatic profile, with additional herbal and woody notes becoming apparent upon exhalation.
OG Rooibaard is considered a balanced hybrid with effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. Users typically report a clear-headed, uplifting initial phase followed by gradual body calming without excessive sedation. The strain's moderate to high THC content contributes to its potency, while its CBD levels remain minimal. Due to its relative rarity outside certain regions, comprehensive laboratory analyses and grower documentation are limited compared to more widely distributed commercial strains.

OG Rooibaard Strain Growing Information
OG Rooibaard is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, requiring 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 are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure similar to OG Kush phenotypes. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and providing good air circulation. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding. The distinctive red pistils develop most prominently under slightly cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering.
