What is the Platinum OG strain?

Platinum OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and coffee flavor profile.

Platinum OG is a 75/25 indica-dominant hybrid bred by Apothecary Genetics. It is believed to stem from the combination of Master Kush, OG Kush, and an unknown third strain – believed to be Purps strain. This powerful indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain was created by Apothecary Genetics, and it is thought to have been bred from Master Kush, OG Kush, and an unidentified third strain - likely the Purps variety. Platinum OG is just as precious as the metal it's named after. This indica-dominant hybrid strain asserts itself as one of the "heaviest" strains around. Flowers are lime green and plump, with prominent orange hairs and a platinum coating thanks to the abundance of THC crystals. The buds of this strain are medium-green and have a few orange hairs speckled throughout. The buds take a crystal appearance due to an abundance of trichromes, creating a dense, rock-like appearance when broken open.

The name "Platinum" comes from the shimmering, frosty trichomes that cover the buds of this strain, giving them a silver, platinum-like appearance. It's also a nod to the strain's premium status in the cannabis world, as it's considered one of the top-tier options for both flavor and potency. Platinum OG is an award winning cultivar, taking 2nd place for indica flower at the 2016 Santa Cruz Cannabis Cup when Kind Peoples Collective entered the classic. A brief, heady onset settles into a powerful physical sedation suitable for nighttime use and pain, stress, or anxiety relief, making this precious strain a robust healer. The strain has gained recognition for its potent effects and complex terpene profile that delivers both recreational and therapeutic benefits.
