Underdog OG
Also known as: Loompa's Headband, Headband, Daywrecker, Underdawg, Original Diesel
Underdog OG Strain Overview
Underdog OG is a complex cannabis strain with disputed origins and multiple variations that has become legendary in cannabis culture. This indica-dominant hybrid finds its roots in a predominantly indica genetic pool, accounting for approximately 80% of its genetic make-up through carefully selected indica varieties known for their resilience and therapeutic benefits. The most commonly accepted lineage traces back to the work of an East Coast breeder known as Weasel, who developed the Original Diesel (also known as Underdawg, Diesel #1, Headband, or Daywrecker Diesel) around 1995 from '91 Chemdog and a Massachusetts Super Skunk x Sensi Seeds Northern Lights cross.
The strain has been particularly associated with Loompa Farms, noted for its artisanal approach and meticulous record-keeping and advanced genetic mapping techniques that ensured Underdog OG maintains its desired traits from generation to generation. The Loompa Farms version is described as a mostly indica clone that requires a flowering time of approximately 63 days and is considered one of their flagship clones. However, multiple variations exist, with some sources indicating genetics from crossing Original Diesel and Headband, creating confusion in the cannabis community about the true lineage.
The strain has earned recognition for its dense, resinous buds that exhibit intricate details and are a visual testament to high-quality breeding. Well-cured batches produce dense and trichome-rich buds with sparse thin orange pistils, covered in frost with rich trichome coverage. Underdog OG has become a cornerstone strain in modern cannabis breeding, contributing to numerous hybrid offspring and maintaining a loyal following among both medical patients and recreational users for its potent effects and distinctive characteristics.

Underdog OG Strain Growing Information
Cultivating Underdog OG requires keen attention to detail with indoor temperatures maintained between 70°F and 80°F during the day, with nighttime temperatures dropping to around 65°F. Environmental sensors have shown that consistent temperature regulation can boost bud quality by as much as 15%. The strain is mostly indica and can be cultivated indoors with a flowering time of approximately 63 days (9 weeks). Some cuts are described as very low yielding and difficult to bring forth their potential, finishing in 7-8 weeks but being extremely potent. The strain thrives in dry substrate and does not enjoy wet feet. It can be difficult to clone, requiring 2x the normal backup clone quantity. The strain is considered moderately challenging to grow and requires experience to achieve optimal results.
