Topanga OG
Topanga OG
Also known as: Topanga Canyon OG, Topanga, Topanga OG Kush
Overview
Topanga OG, also known simply as "Topanga" or "Topanga OG Kush," is an indica dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) created as an unknown phenotype or cross of the classic OG Kush strain. The name references Topanga Canyon in Los Angeles County, a storied region for surf, counterculture, and cannabis lore. Topanga's story is tied to the Los Angeles cannabis scene, where OG Kush and its progeny dominated preferences through the 2000s and 2010s. The "Topanga Canyon OG" moniker reflects a localized selection that captured the quintessential OG profile: pungent, limonene-forward citrus layered over diesel and pine. It sits firmly in the Kush family, leaning toward the pine-lemon-diesel spectrum that made Southern California OG cuts famous. Consumers gravitate to Topanga for its dense resin, assertive aroma, and a balanced but powerful high that blends initial clarity with a heavy, relaxing finish. The strain has gained significant popularity among cannabis connoisseurs for its exceptional potency and classic West Coast "gas" characteristics, representing the pinnacle of OG Kush breeding.

Growing Information
This strain is known for being relatively easy to grow and suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. It typically flowers within 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors, producing moderate to high yields of dense, resin-coated buds. Topanga OG thrives in a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine, but it can also do well in controlled indoor environments. The plant tends to grow tall and bushy, so growers should be prepared to provide adequate space and support for the branches, especially as the buds start to develop. Indoor growers can expect yields of 850-900 grams per square meter. The strain is considered moderately easy to grow but requires proper support during flowering due to heavy bud development.
