Snake Oil OG
Also known as: Snake Oil
Snake Oil OG Strain Overview
Snake Oil OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its unique combination of effects and flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally accepted to have emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis breeding scene. The name references both its purported medicinal properties and its OG Kush heritage, playing on the historical concept of 'snake oil' as a cure-all remedy.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex appearance. Flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, accented by vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The plant structure tends to be bushy with indica-dominant characteristics, though it expresses some sativa traits in its effects profile.
Snake Oil OG is noted for its distinctive aroma and flavor combination that sets it apart from other OG varieties. While maintaining the classic earthy, piney notes characteristic of OG strains, it introduces additional layers of sweetness and fuel-like undertones. The strain has developed a following among users seeking balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mental stimulation, though comprehensive information about its genetic lineage remains somewhat uncertain in the cannabis community.

Snake Oil OG Strain Growing Information
Snake Oil OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent sunlight. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
