SFV #1
Also known as: SFV OG #1, San Fernando Valley OG #1
SFV #1 Strain Overview
SFV #1 is a prominent phenotype of the SFV OG (San Fernando Valley OG) strain, which itself is a variant of the legendary OG Kush lineage. This particular phenotype was selected and stabilized by breeders for its consistent expression of desirable traits. The strain originated in California's San Fernando Valley region during the early 2000s, where it gained popularity among medical cannabis patients and connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.
SFV #1 plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a classic OG structure—compact, chunky flowers with vibrant orange pistils weaving through forest green calyxes. The buds are often heavily frosted with trichomes, giving them a sparkling appearance. The foliage tends toward dark green with occasional purple hues that may emerge under cooler temperatures. The strain is known for its moderate to high yield potential and relatively manageable growth characteristics compared to some other OG variants.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that combines fuel, citrus, and earthy notes, creating a distinctive aroma that many enthusiasts recognize as quintessentially "OG." SFV #1 has maintained popularity over the years due to its reliable effects and has been used in breeding programs to create numerous hybrid strains. While specific documentation about its exact genetic origins varies, it is widely accepted as part of the broader OG Kush family that has significantly influenced West Coast cannabis culture.

SFV #1 Strain Growing Information
SFV #1 is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity to prevent mold issues. They can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better environmental control. SFV #1 plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often requiring height management techniques like topping or ScrOG (Screen of Green) training. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from proper airflow around the dense buds. Some phenotypes may display nutrient sensitivity, particularly to nitrogen during flowering.
