SFV OG
SFV OG
Also known as: San Fernando Valley OG, San Fernando Valley Kush, San Fernando Valley
What is the SFV OG strain?
SFV OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
SFV OG, or San Fernando Valley OG, originated as a phenotype of OG Kush bred by Swerve at Cali Connection Farms in Southern California's San Fernando Valley. The breeder selected a standout phenotype of OG Kush and crossed it with an Afghani landrace strain, creating one of the most respected indica-dominant hybrids in California's cannabis history. By the mid-2010s, SFV OG had established itself as one of the quintessential California strains and became a staple for growers and consumers in the early Prop 215 medical era, with its clean lemon aroma and balanced effects making it a go-to for both medicinal users and creatives.
Visually, SFV OG buds are tight and compact, with a dark green base color highlighted by orange-brown pistils weaving through the surface. A thick frosting of white trichomes gives the buds a crystalline sparkle, and well-cured flowers often feel sticky to the touch. The strain leads with aromatic notes of earthy pine and lemon, featuring a pungent and earthy scent that is often described as a mix of citrus, pine, and fuel. SFV OG took 3rd place in the Indica category at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam in 2012, and 1st place at the Denver Cannabis Cup that same year, contributing to its extreme potency and recognition.
