Ranger OG
Also known as: Ranger OG Kush
Ranger OG Strain Overview
Ranger OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive aroma profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is widely believed to be a phenotype of OG Kush that was selected and stabilized by breeders seeking to enhance certain characteristics. Like many OG varieties, Ranger OG's lineage traces back to the original OG Kush genetics that emerged in Southern California during the 1990s, though the specific breeding history remains undocumented in official cannabis literature.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a classic OG structure. The flowers are often forest green with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. A notable feature is the heavy coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The pistils are usually orange or rust-colored, providing visual contrast against the green foliage. The plant structure tends to be somewhat bushy with strong lateral branching, characteristic of its Kush heritage.
Ranger OG is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, pine, and diesel notes with subtle citrus undertones. The flavor upon consumption generally mirrors the aroma, with additional spicy and herbal notes becoming apparent. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its reliable effects and manageable growth characteristics, though it remains less widely known than some of its OG Kush relatives.

Ranger OG Strain Growing Information
Ranger OG is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and low humidity during flowering. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold (particularly in dense buds) and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to manage height and improve light penetration. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during late flowering to enhance coloration and terpene production.
