Skywalker OG
Skywalker OG
Also known as: Skywalker OG Kush, Mazar x Blueberry OG, Blueberry x Mazar OG, Sky OG
Overview
Skywalker OG is a legendary indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has earned its reputation through potent effects and distinctive lineage. Originally bred by Darkheart Nursery in California, this strain is a cross between Skywalker (which itself is Mazar × Blueberry) and the iconic OG Kush. Named in homage to the Star Wars saga's hero Luke Skywalker, this strain delivers 'forceful' relaxation that has made it a dispensary favorite since the early 2000s. The strain gained significant traction among California cultivators during the expansion of OG Kush-related hybrids that were being stabilized for consistent flower structure and resin production.
Skywalker OG exhibits typical indica characteristics with dense, medium-sized buds displaying deep green coloration with olive undertones, complemented by burnt-orange pistils and a generous coating of amber trichomes. The aromatic profile is complex and distinctive, featuring a pungent, earthy base with diesel undertones, spicy herbal notes reminiscent of pine and oregano, and subtle citrus accents. This strain is not to be confused with the original Skywalker strain - while often used interchangeably, Skywalker OG specifically includes OG Kush genetics, creating a distinct profile and growth pattern that sets it apart from its parent strain.

Growing Information
Skywalker OG is considered of moderate difficulty to cultivate, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The strain performs best in warm, dry Mediterranean-like climates and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Indoor flowering time is typically 8-10 weeks, while outdoor harvest occurs in mid to late October. Plants tend to be medium-sized but can become quite bushy, requiring regular pruning for proper airflow. Indoor yields average around 16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce significantly higher yields of 28-30 ounces per plant. The strain requires careful attention to humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold and disease, and growers should monitor for potential root rot due to the dense bud structure. Temperature should be maintained between 68-80°F (18-26°C) for optimal growth.
