OG Rox
Also known as: OG Rocks, OG Roxx
OG Rox Strain Overview
OG Rox is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure due to the clandestine nature of early breeding programs. The strain represents a carefully selected phenotype from the broader OG Kush family, bred to emphasize specific terpene profiles and growth characteristics while maintaining the classic OG structure and effects. It gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile that bridges traditional Kush characteristics with more modern aromatic notes.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a classic OG structure—compact, chunky flowers with bright orange pistils weaving through forest green calyxes that are heavily coated in trichomes. The appearance is often enhanced by subtle purple hues that can develop in cooler temperatures, particularly in the final weeks of flowering. OG Rox plants exhibit the sturdy branching and moderate internodal spacing characteristic of OG varieties, making them suitable for various training techniques.
Notable features include its distinctive aroma profile that combines earthy Kush foundation with sharper citrus and diesel notes, creating a complex sensory experience. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in medical and recreational markets, particularly in states with established cannabis cultures, though it remains less widely documented than some of its more famous OG relatives. Breeders have continued to work with OG Rox genetics, using it as a parent strain in several subsequent hybrid projects.

OG Rox Strain Growing Information
OG Rox is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 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 with proper care, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor climates with consistent temperatures. Plants exhibit medium height, typically reaching 120-180 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors if given space. OG Rox responds well to training techniques like topping, low-stress training (LST), and screen of green (SCROG) methods to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, and providing adequate support for branches as flowers develop. The plants benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering to enhance coloration and terpene production. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly with nitrogen during flowering.
