UW OG
Also known as: University of Washington OG, UW Kush
What is the UW OG strain?
UW OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
UW OG is a hybrid cannabis strain that originated in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, specifically associated with the University of Washington area in Seattle. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cannabis historians, but it is widely accepted as a phenotype of the broader OG Kush family that was developed and stabilized by local growers in the early 2000s. The 'UW' designation reflects both its geographic origins and the university culture that influenced its early popularity among students and academic communities in the Seattle area.
Visually, UW OG presents with dense, conical buds that display a classic OG structure, featuring a deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. The flowers are typically heavily coated in milky-white trichomes and exhibit vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the dark foliage. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining the signature fuel-like scent of OG varieties with distinct earthy and pine undertones, often accompanied by subtle citrus notes that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
UW OG has maintained regional popularity in the Pacific Northwest while remaining relatively rare in other markets. The strain is noted for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. Growers appreciate UW OG for its resilience to common molds and pests, though it requires careful attention to nutrient levels and environmental conditions to reach its full potential in terms of potency and terpene expression.

How do you grow UW OG?
UW OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. UW OG prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity to prevent mold issues, though it demonstrates good resistance to common pests. The plants tend to remain medium in height (4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Special considerations include maintaining stable pH levels (6.0-6.5 for soil) and providing adequate calcium and magnesium supplements during flowering. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
