Psylock OG
Also known as: PsyLock OG, Psylock
Psylock OG Strain Overview
Psylock OG is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its potent effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have been developed in California during the early 2010s, emerging from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene. Breeders sought to combine the powerful physical relaxation of classic OG Kush varieties with more cerebral, psychedelic effects, resulting in this unique hybrid that typically exhibits a roughly 50/50 indica-sativa genetic balance.
The strain's name reflects its reported effects, with 'Psylock' suggesting psychedelic or mind-altering experiences combined with the 'OG' designation indicating its Kush heritage. Psylock OG plants typically produce dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves often accented with purple hues and covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The nugs are usually medium to large in size with an abundance of orange pistils weaving through the compact flower structure.
Notable characteristics of Psylock OG include its complex terpene profile that creates a multi-layered sensory experience. The strain has gained a reputation among experienced cannabis consumers for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Psylock OG has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in legal markets where it is sometimes available as a specialty offering from boutique growers.

Psylock OG Strain Growing Information
Psylock OG is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but tends to thrive in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 4-5 feet indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Psylock OG responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height. The plants prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and good air circulation to prevent mold issues. Special considerations include monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering stage.
