Snoop Dogg OG
Snoop Dogg OG
Also known as: Snoop Dogg OG Kush, Snoop's OG
Overview
Snoop Dogg OG is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) named after the legendary rapper and cannabis enthusiast Snoop Dogg. This strain is believed to be a cross between Lemon OG and Sour Diesel, creating a potent cultivar that shares similarities with the iconic OG Kush in both aroma and bud structure. Originally bred by Dog Pound Genetics in collaboration with Madcat's Backyard Stash, Snoop Dogg OG emerged during the height of OG strain popularity in California dispensaries during the late 2000s and early 2010s. The strain features dense, spade-shaped dusty green nugs with minty green patches, adorned with thin twisty orange and amber hairs and a fine layer of white crystal trichomes. Its diesel aroma dominates with less prominent lemon notes, creating a pungent fuel-and-earth scent with citrus undertones. The strain's high THC content and complex terpene profile make it a favorite among both recreational users and medical patients seeking potent effects. Despite its celebrity namesake and popularity, detailed breeding information remains somewhat mysterious, contributing to its legendary status in cannabis culture.

Growing Information
Snoop Dogg OG requires intermediate to advanced cultivation expertise. The flowering time ranges from 6-9 weeks (42-75 days), with most sources citing 8-9 weeks as typical. Indoor yields can reach 450-550 grams per square meter (12-16 ounces), while outdoor plants may produce 16+ ounces per plant. The strain thrives in Mediterranean climates with temperatures between 20-26°C (68-79°F) and prefers low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Both indoor and outdoor cultivation are suitable, with hydroponic systems potentially increasing potency by 15-20%. Environmental control is critical, requiring pH levels between 6.0-7.0 and optimal photoperiods of 18/6 during vegetative stage and 12/12 during flowering. Harvest typically occurs in late September to early October for outdoor grows in the Northern Hemisphere.
