OG Russian
Also known as: Russian OG
OG Russian Strain Overview
OG Russian is a relatively rare cannabis strain that combines genetics from Russian landrace varieties with classic American OG Kush lineage. The exact origins of this strain are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders. What is known suggests it was developed by crossing a Russian landrace strain, likely from Siberia or the Caucasus region, with a phenotype of OG Kush. This combination was intended to create a hardy, resilient plant that could withstand colder climates while maintaining the potent effects and distinctive terpene profile of the OG family.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex appearance. Coloration ranges from deep forest green to sometimes displaying purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. The buds are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, reflecting its hybrid nature.
OG Russian is noted for its unique terpene profile that blends earthy, piney notes from its OG heritage with more exotic, spicy undertones attributed to its Russian landrace ancestry. The strain has gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its distinctive genetic background and balanced effects. Due to its relative rarity, comprehensive information about this strain is limited compared to more mainstream varieties.

OG Russian Strain Growing Information
OG Russian is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The strain typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Yields are moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in temperate climates with adequate sunlight. Plant height is medium to tall, often reaching 150-180 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and humidity levels, as the strain can be sensitive to environmental fluctuations. Its Russian landrace heritage provides some cold tolerance, but it still requires protection from frost.
