Surfside OG
Also known as: Surfside OG Kush
Surfside OG Strain Overview
Surfside OG is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in coastal regions, particularly along the California coast where it reportedly originated. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat uncertain, with most sources suggesting it's a cross between OG Kush and an unknown sativa-dominant strain, possibly related to coastal landrace varieties. Breeders developed this strain to capture the relaxing qualities of classic OG Kush while adding a more uplifting, creative element suitable for daytime use.
The strain's name reflects its coastal heritage and the 'OG' designation common to Kush varieties. Surfside OG typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure characteristic of its Kush lineage. The nugs are often forest green with occasional purple hues and are covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The strain's aroma combines earthy Kush notes with citrus undertones and a distinctive coastal freshness.
Surfside OG has become particularly popular among medical cannabis users and recreational consumers seeking balanced effects. The strain's reputation for providing both physical relaxation and mental clarity has made it a favorite for those dealing with stress while needing to maintain functionality. Its coastal origins have contributed to its popularity in beach communities, though it's now cultivated in various regions. The strain's balanced nature makes it suitable for various consumption methods, though vaporization is often preferred to fully appreciate its complex terpene profile.

Surfside OG Strain Growing Information
Surfside OG is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and benefits from both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Plants typically reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and develop a bushy structure with strong lateral branching. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, providing adequate support for heavy buds, and implementing regular pruning to ensure good airflow. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training.
