It has spawned countless child-strains and continues to please consumers with recreational and medicinal purposes. Let’s get into the specifics of this strain!
Tahoe OG Strain Genetics
OG Kush has been a staple in the west coast cannabis markets for decades now. Many people love everything to do with OG Kush, and phenotypes have spawned in California that have made fans rave even more. Two popular phenotypes to arise are SFV OG and SFV OG Kush.
Ganja Guru in Tahoe, California looked at the original OG Kush genetics and what SFV OG Kush had to offer and decided to create an OG Kush masterpiece by crossing them to create a new phenotype.
As you may well know, OG Kush has been ultra-famous for decades and has been used in creating many of the popular strains of today’s cannabis industry, including GSC and Headband.
SFV OG Kush, not to be confused with SFV OG, is also a product of California. It’s the result of crossing OG Kush and SFV OG. Besides the confusing naming, it delivers many familiar kush traits with more of a focus on physical relaxation and sedation.
As you can tell, there are generations of OG Kush and various phenotypes that have gone into producing Tahoe Kush. Those who like the heritage will fall in love with Tahoe OG.
Prospective growers will be happy to find that seeds are readily available from many of the reputable seed banks online. You can also find clones if you prefer to grow your crop this way.
Tahoe OG has grown quite popular and has also been used to spawn child-strains that many cannabis connoisseurs enjoy. Alien OG strain and White Tahoe Cookies are two of the highest-rated child-strains resulting from Tahoe OG Kush.
Alien OG is a cross of Tahoe OG and Alien Kush, created in seed form by The Cali Connection. It brings the kushy essence and indica-relaxing with an intense cerebral experience from Alien Kush. It’s great for those who enjoy Tahoe OG but want a less sedative experience and more head-high.
White Tahoe Cookies crossing The White, Tahoe OG, and GSC. The trichomes are reminiscent of The White while the essence and experience are a blend of what Tahoe OG and GSC have to offer.
With the popularity of Tahoe OG and many child-strains creating raving fans as well, this ganja strain is here to stay and is so much more than just a phenotype of OG Kush!
Tahoe OG Strain Yield
Tahoe OG is a finicky variety of pot to try and grow for yourself. While it is resistant to many molds and mildew that commonly afflict cannabis plants, it is very sensitive to pruning, growing environment, and nutrient availability.
Experience growers are best suited to test their skills with Tahoe OG. Beginning growers need professional education, which we offer here at CTU, to bring out the best of this bud strain.
The plants will typically grow between 30-75 inches tall and produce around 3-6 ounces per square foot of plant. Outdoor growers will harvest more than their indoor counterparts on average.
Tahoe OG Strain Flowering Time
Tahoe OG matures fully in the flowering period of 10 weeks. This means outdoor growers should be harvesting mid-October.
The buds aren’t particularly large like some other OG Kush varieties. The colas are a mossy green and covered in deep orange hairs.
THC Percentage
Most batches of Tahoe OG strain will clock in somewhere around 18-21% THC. Some crops have been known to be as low as 14% THC, which is more of an issue of unoptimized growing conditions than genetic limitations. Recall that this strain is more difficult to grow than many other popular strains.
Tahoe OG is best reserved for evening use, as the high is very relaxing and even sedative. The cerebral effects are euphoric and spacey but this bud shins in its physical effects.
Pain and stress melt away quickly since the high is fast-acting and long-lasting. It’s not a suitable bud strain for getting things done!
Tahoe OG Strain Flavor & Aroma
Tahoe OG presents the same earthy lemon essence that OG Kush is known for. The aroma is more pungent than the tasty flavor profile. You won’t be disappointed in the flavor and aroma of Tahoe OG if you like the OG Kush essence that finds its way in many of the other phenotypes and child-strains.
Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Myrcene dominate the terpene profile.
Limonene may be useful in treating anxiety, depression, inflammation, and chronic pain,
Caryophyllene may be useful in treating chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, and depression as well.
Myrcene is a useful antioxidant and is used to treat insomnia, inflammation, and chronic pain.
