Old Growth OG
Also known as: Old Growth OG Kush
What is the Old Growth OG strain?
Old Growth OG is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Old Growth OG is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its powerful sedative effects and distinctive terpene profile. The strain's name references both its genetic heritage from classic OG Kush varieties and its purported connection to older, established genetics from the cannabis breeding community. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the broader cannabis genealogy, Old Growth OG is generally understood to be a phenotype or closely related variant of the original OG Kush lineage, potentially selected for specific characteristics that distinguish it from other OG expressions.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a classic OG structure—compact, chunky flowers that are often lime green with occasional purple hues depending on growing conditions. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils. Old Growth OG is particularly noted for its pungent aroma profile that combines earthy, pine, and fuel-like notes with subtle citrus undertones, creating a complex sensory experience that many enthusiasts associate with classic Kush varieties.
What distinguishes Old Growth OG from other OG variants is its reputation for particularly heavy, long-lasting effects that many users describe as deeply relaxing and sedating. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in certain cannabis markets, particularly on the West Coast of the United States, where it has developed a following among those seeking strong indica effects. While not as widely commercialized as some other OG derivatives, Old Growth OG remains valued by connoisseurs for its potency and traditional characteristics that hearken back to earlier eras of cannabis breeding.

How do you grow Old Growth OG?
Old Growth OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact for an indica, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and up to 180 cm outdoors. Old Growth OG responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants benefit from proper nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase when phosphorus and potassium requirements increase.
