Umbra OG
Also known as: Umbra OG Kush
Umbra OG Strain Overview
Umbra OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its potent effects and distinctive sensory profile. The strain's name combines 'Umbra' (Latin for shadow or shade) with 'OG' (a common designation for Original Gangster strains in cannabis culture), suggesting both its lineage and its deeply relaxing characteristics. While its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure, Umbra OG is generally understood to be part of the broader OG Kush family, a group of strains renowned for their complex terpene profiles and powerful psychoactive properties.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a dark green coloration often accented by deep purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are usually coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, pine, and diesel notes with subtle citrus undertones, while the flavor often includes spicy, woody, and herbal elements with a smooth smoke.
Umbra OG is particularly noted for its strong physical relaxation effects that many users describe as deeply calming and sedative. The strain has gained popularity among experienced cannabis consumers seeking relief from various conditions and those looking for evening or nighttime use. Its potency and specific characteristics can vary between different growers and phenotypes, as with many cannabis strains that have been developed through selective breeding practices.

Umbra OG Strain Growing Information
Umbra OG is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, usually reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold and mildew if conditions become too humid. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training can help improve light penetration and air circulation throughout the canopy.
