Retired OG
Also known as: Retired OG Kush
Retired OG Strain Overview
Retired OG is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain represents a carefully selected phenotype of the legendary OG Kush lineage, bred specifically to enhance its relaxing and therapeutic properties while maintaining the distinctive OG flavor profile. While its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure within the cannabis community, it is widely recognized as a premium OG variant that gained popularity among connoisseurs seeking a balanced yet potent experience.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a classic OG structure, featuring dark green foliage often accented by purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a shimmering appearance. Retired OG is noted for its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, pine, and diesel notes with subtle citrus undertones, characteristic of its Kush heritage.
What distinguishes Retired OG from other OG variants is its reputation for providing a particularly smooth and manageable experience, making it appealing to both recreational and medicinal users. The strain has maintained a cult following despite not achieving widespread commercial distribution, with enthusiasts valuing its consistent quality and well-rounded effects. Its name reflects both its status as a refined, 'retired' version of classic OG genetics and its suitability for users seeking relaxation without overwhelming sedation.

Retired OG Strain Growing Information
Retired OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Retired OG requires good air circulation to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure and responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Nutrient needs are moderate, with particular attention needed during flowering to support resin production. The strain is somewhat resistant to common pests but can be susceptible to powdery mildew in humid conditions.
