True OG Feminized

True OG is a classic Indica-looking plant that first emerged in the rolling hills and lush landscapes of Topanga Canyon in California. Its genetics carry the imprint of OG Kush, the backbone of numerous cannabis cultivars hailing from the West Coast. Breeders went through 6 years of cultivation to stabilize its growth tendencies and enhance its compound profile, and the results are fantastic.

True OG's potency starts around 20% THC but can reach as high as 27%, delivering a long-lasting euphoric high that also increases focus. The plant contains powerful cannabinoids and terpenes that may help to diminish insomnia, migraines, anxiety and plenty of other conditions. Such features earned this cultivar     second place in the 2010 and 2011 San Francisco High Times Medical Cannabis Cup.

If you're looking for a pleasurable smoke that brings natural therapeutic relief, growing True OG is an excellent option. It costs less than purchasing buds from dispensaries, and the plant's sturdy nature, fast flowering and moderate yields make all the effort well worth it.

Growing True OG Feminized Seeds

True to its OG Kush genetics, True OG grows short and stout with plenty of branches that proudly display its broad fan leaves. It develops an apex cola and several secondary bud sites with small, compact pine-cone shaped nugs. Each one is sprinkled with a scattering of burnt orange pistils and coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, which gives a glistening white appearance from afar.

Because of its bushy structure and dense buds, the cultivar is especially susceptible to powdery mildew and gray mold. To prevent these pathogens, you should monitor humidity levels and prune the unnecessary leaves to allow better airflow. High calcium and magnesium feedings will encourage the flowers to bloom to their full potential.

This Indica beauty is naturally sturdy, but it produces higher outputs when pampered and placed in optimal growth conditions. In an indoor setting, a temperature between 70 and 80°F and RH levels around 40 to 50% during the flowering period will have a very positive influence. If all goes well, 1.3 – 1.6 ounces of nugs per square foot will be ready after just 9 weeks.

Originating from the hilly stretch of Topanga Canyon and with genetic roots that can be traced to the Hindi Kush Mountains, True OG is meant to thrive outdoors. Many years of stabilizing has made it more suited to controlled environments, but it can still prosper and produce up to 21 ounces per plant in warm and dry open-air spaces with Mediterranean climates. In the Southern hemisphere, harvest rolls in around March to May, and no later than mid-October in northern areas.

Fragrance and Flavor

Properly cured True OG flowers have a dank, Skunk fragrance mixed with fresh pine and citrus. When lit up, the complex odor is amplified, making it even more pungent.

The flavor greets the palate with a familiar Kush taste, along with an acrid tinge of sour lemon and a soft hint of pine.

Effects

Almost immediately after the first hit, a surge of euphoria floods the mind and drowns out any troubles that may be lurking in the background. Apart from the uplifting high, users will experience enhanced sensitivity to colors, music and movies, and time will appear to pass slower than it should. As the high ascends even further, a generous free-flow of thoughts and ideas cascades down, making this an ideal cultivar for brainstorming critical or artistic projects.

After 10 minutes or so, True OGs creeping physical buzz will manifest while the mind still floats in a seemingly endless stream of delight. It starts with pressure around the forehead and temples, before spreading throughout the body, relaxing every muscle on its way. In tiny doses, the body buzz is an excellent accompaniment to undemanding activities like painting, doing a crossword or walking the dog. But higher doses create a really weighty stone that makes couch-lock inevitable.

As the high wanes, the eyelids will feel heavy, and the countdown to sleep begins. Once this happens, it only takes a few minutes for the senses to fully shut down, paving the way to a long and peaceful snooze.
