Poison OG
Poison OG
Also known as: OG Poison
Overview
Poison OG is a cannabis hybrid strain that is believed to be a cross between OG Kush and Durban Poison, though its exact genetic lineage remains a mystery. The strain is rumored to have been initially cultivated in 1996 from a seed found in a pound of OG Kush, but no one really knows for sure where this strain originated. This strain has a sativa/indica ratio of roughly 30:70, so the indica side definitely wins out. Despite its murky origins, Poison OG has become a sought-after strain in the cannabis world, bearing above-average potency and a genuinely unique flavour and aroma that stands out in a sea of modern hybrids.
Poison OG is a potent indica-dominant hybrid bred specifically to fight insomnia. It hits hard and fast, inducing sleep in even the most tightly wound users. The strain has a distinct aroma and flavour profile featuring a pungent, earthy scent that dominates, with notes of pine and diesel. The flower boasts a woody, earthy aroma with a hint of pine. THC levels can be unusually high, with tests showing up to 22% THC content. CBD content is higher than usual compared to other recreational strains, but not necessarily enough to recommend this as a treatment for seizures or other disorders that respond to that cannabinoid.

Growing Information
Growing Poison OG is a relatively easy process, making it a suitable choice for both novice and experienced growers. It can be grown indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse, although indoor setups are recommended for best results. Poison OG has a flowering time of around 8–10 weeks, at the end of which it delivers large yields of dense, glittering buds. The strain prefers daytime temperatures of 20–25°C and a humidity level of 50%. Though not a necessity, Poison OG can also be trained and pruned to improve light exposure and boost yields. Techniques like LST, topping, and ScrOG are all viable methods of getting the most out of individual plants.
