UTHC OG
Also known as: UTHC OG Kush, UTHC Original OG
UTHC OG Strain Overview
UTHC OG is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in the 2020s, particularly in the United States. The strain's name references both its OG Kush heritage and its association with UTHC (Urban Therapeutic Health Collective), a California-based cannabis collective that helped popularize this particular phenotype. While the exact genetic origins are somewhat proprietary, it is widely accepted as a refined phenotype selection from the broader OG Kush family, with possible influences from other West Coast genetics. The strain represents the ongoing evolution of classic OG varieties within the contemporary cannabis market.
Visually, UTHC OG exhibits characteristics typical of OG Kush descendants. The buds are dense and chunky with a forest green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that indicates high potency. The plant structure tends to be somewhat bushy with moderate internodal spacing, displaying the indica influence in its growth pattern while maintaining some sativa-like branching characteristics.
The aroma profile of UTHC OG is complex and distinctive, combining the classic fuel and pine notes associated with OG genetics with additional citrus and earthy undertones. When consumed, users typically report a flavor that mirrors the aroma, with the fuel and pine notes being most prominent on the inhale, followed by subtle citrus and earthy flavors on the exhale. The smoke is generally described as smooth for its potency level, though some users note it can be slightly harsh in larger quantities.

UTHC OG Strain Growing Information
UTHC OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though many growers report better terpene expression in organic soil grows.
Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter with proper care and training techniques. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The plant exhibits moderate height, usually reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. UTHC OG prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and careful nutrient management as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) are recommended to maximize yield and light penetration. The strain has moderate resistance to common pests and molds but benefits from preventative measures.
