Predator OG
Also known as: Predator Kush
Predator OG Strain Overview
Predator OG is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by combining two classic West Coast genetics: OG Kush and an unknown Afghani landrace strain. The strain emerged from the California medical cannabis scene in the early 2000s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development. It gained popularity for its powerful sedative effects and distinctive flavor profile, becoming a staple in many medical cannabis programs for nighttime use.
The strain produces dense, chunky buds with a classic indica structure, featuring dark green foliage often accented with purple hues and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The nugs are typically compact and resinous, with orange pistils weaving through the dense floral clusters. Predator OG is known for its pungent aroma that combines fuel-like notes with earthy undertones and subtle citrus accents.
Predator OG has maintained a consistent presence in the cannabis market due to its reliable effects and robust genetics. While not as commercially widespread as some other OG varieties, it remains a favorite among indica enthusiasts and medical users seeking strong relaxation. The strain's name references its 'predatory' nature in overwhelming users with potent effects, though some sources suggest it may also refer to the strain's vigorous growth characteristics.

Predator OG Strain Growing Information
Predator OG is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants have a typical indica structure, staying relatively short and bushy, reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October.
Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing around 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, dry climate with good airflow to prevent mold in its dense buds. Predator OG responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields. The plants are moderately resistant to pests and diseases but require careful monitoring during flowering due to their dense bud structure.
