Stormtrooper OG
Also known as: Storm Trooper OG, Stormtrooper
Stormtrooper OG Strain Overview
Stormtrooper OG is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, but most sources indicate it was developed by crossing two prominent California strains: Skywalker OG and an unknown OG Kush phenotype. The name 'Stormtrooper' references both the strain's potent effects and its distinctive appearance, which often features dense, frosty buds that resemble the white armor of Star Wars stormtroopers.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized plants with dense, conical buds that are heavily coated in white trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to sometimes displaying purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are often interspersed with vibrant orange pistils, creating a striking visual contrast. Stormtrooper OG is known for its complex aroma profile that combines fuel-like undertones with sweet and earthy notes.
Stormtrooper OG has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced yet potent effects. While the strain maintains some consistency in its genetic expression, there can be variation between different phenotypes and growers' cultivation methods. The strain is particularly noted for its resin production, making it a favorite among concentrate producers. As with many modern hybrids, precise lineage information can be difficult to verify definitively due to the informal nature of much cannabis breeding history.

Stormtrooper OG Strain Growing Information
Stormtrooper OG is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. They prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors. Indoor growers should provide good air circulation and maintain moderate humidity levels to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, but growers should be cautious with nitrogen during the flowering phase to avoid nutrient burn.
