Panda OG
Panda OG
Also known as: Panda, Panda Weed
Overview
Panda OG is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Grow Op Farms in Washington State through crossing Berry Sour Cream and OG Chem. This strain owes its unique profile to an intricate genetic blend involving OG Chem, OG Kush, Hindu Kush, and Lemon Thai through its parent lineage. With THC levels reaching 19% to as high as 25% and modest CBD content around 1%, Panda OG delivers potent effects suitable for both recreational and therapeutic applications. The buds display small, popcorn-like structure with fluffy leaves in a dark forest green color, threaded with yellow to orange pistils. The visual appeal is enhanced by dense, deep-green foliage that gradually lightens towards the tips, creating a beautiful gradient effect. Panda OG features super dense and tight minty green nugs with sparse amber hairs and dark undertones that give it a patchy effect, with tiny frosty white trichomes coating the entirety of each nug.
The strain exhibits a complex aroma profile featuring spicy and tangy notes of sour berries and earth, with a tangy berry scent complemented by chemical undertones. There's also a bit of spice and incense passed on from its OG Kush genetics and a chemical odor inherited from its Chemdawg lineage. The terpene profile is dominated by myrcene (providing earthy, musky, herbal undertones), caryophyllene (imparting spicy, peppery notes), and limonene (adding invigorating citrus elements). Panda OG's effects are primarily energizing initially, with an energizing, bouncy head high that sets in quickly, making users' thoughts jump from one to the next, though there's also a slight onset of indica relaxation, especially as dosage increases, leading to an uplifted onset that leaves users happy and relaxed with spacey tendencies, eventually succumbing to a deep body buzz.

Growing Information
Panda OG has a flowering time of 8 to 10 weeks, with some sources suggesting 8-9 weeks for typical hybrid range. Expected yield is 12 to 14 ounces. The strain can be grown either indoors or outdoors, though successful outdoor growing requires a warm, semi-humid Mediterranean-like climate. Sativa-dominant hybrids in the Chemdawg family can grow particularly tall during the flowering period. Grow Op Farms' expert breeding suggests the strain thrives under conditions that balance light, humidity, and nutrition carefully. Seeds are not commercially available as Grow Op Farms has not released them for sale, so growers must obtain clippings from mature plants to grow genetically identical clones. While specific growing information is not widely available, the robust genetics suggest moderate difficulty level suitable for experienced cultivators.
