An Award-Winning Strain
Larry OG has a genuine competitive record: it took 1st Place in the Hybrid category at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2014, establishing its reputation among elite OG genetics, along with other wins at local events. That pedigree is a big part of its appeal, and for a grower it is a strong sign of a stable, proven line.
You can find it alongside our other decorated strains in the award-winning cannabis seeds collection. A strain with a cup behind it tends to mean consistent results and a flavor profile that has already impressed expert judges.
Climate and Where to Grow It
Larry OG is a feminized photoperiod strain, so every seed grows into a flowering female and you control the cycle with light: a long day of around 18 hours through veg, then a switch to 12/12 to trigger flowering. There is no need to sex the plants, which is one reason it suits newer growers.
It does well in a temperate climate with plenty of light and good airflow. As a nearly balanced hybrid it stays compact at around 1.2 m with a sturdy, bushy OG structure, so it fits most tents and plots. Outdoors in the northern hemisphere it is typically ready in October, so it suits regions with a reasonable autumn window.
Keep humidity in check to protect its dense, resinous buds: around 55-60% in veg, nearer 40% in flower, and down to about 30% by harvest. Those tight OG colas can trap moisture, so steady airflow and sensible humidity are the keys to a clean finish.
Feeding Schedule (EC Guide)
Larry OG is a vigorous, resinous plant, so feed it steadily but don’t push it. Start low, build up as the plant tells you it is ready, and taper right off for the final flush so the lemony citrus-and-pine flavor comes through clean and the smoke finishes smooth.
| Stage | EC (mS/cm) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Seedling | 0.4-0.6 | Very light feed, focus on healthy root growth |
| Vegetative growth | 0.8-1.2 | Build the frame, raise nitrogen gradually |
| Early flower | 1.2-1.4 | Shift toward bloom nutrients (P and K) |
| Full flower | 1.4-1.6 | Peak bloom feed while the resinous buds swell |
| Flush | 0.0-0.4 | Plain water for the final 1-2 weeks |
Flowering and Harvest
Once you flip to 12/12, bloom runs 8-10 weeks. As a mostly indica OG hybrid, Larry OG stays compact and bushy while filling in dense, resin-soaked colas with that classic sharp, lemony-pine aroma. Good airflow and a carbon filter are worth having indoors, since those OG buds get pungent as they ripen.
Yields are generous, though they vary with your setup: roughly 200-500 g/m² indoors depending on technique and light, and a strong 550-600 g per plant outdoors in a good season. Use a ScrOG net or training to open the canopy and push the indoor figure toward the top of that range, and harvest when most trichomes have turned cloudy.
Drying and Curing
Dry whole plants or branches in a dark room at around 60°F (15-18°C) and 55-60% humidity for 7-14 days, until the thin stems snap rather than bend. A slow, even dry stops the dense, resinous buds staying damp in the middle while the outside dries out, which protects both the citrus-pine aroma and the heavy trichome coat.
Then cure the trimmed buds in sealed jars, burping them daily for the first week and letting them settle for three to four weeks. A proper cure is what brings the citrus, earthy, pine and woody notes forward and smooths out this classic OG smoke, which is exactly what an award-winning strain like this one deserves.
What to Do With Your Trim
Don’t bin the sugar leaves you remove while manicuring. Larry OG is a very resinous, high-trichome plant, so its trim is excellent for making dry sift, bubble hash or rosin. That gives you a bonus run of sharp, citrus-pine concentrate from material most growers would otherwise throw away.
Flavor and Terpenes
Larry OG has a bright, classic OG profile: a sharp lemony citrus lift over an earthy, woody base with a fresh pine edge. It is a clean, zesty flavor rather than a sweet or gassy one, and a good cure really sharpens that citrus-and-pine character in the jar and on the inhale.
Its broad terpene profile is led by limonene, which drives the bright citrus note, and pinene, which brings the fresh pine edge. Terpineol adds a soft, earthy-floral layer, cedrene and nerolidol a woody depth, and linalool a gentle floral sweetness, with citral, borneol, camphene and more rounding out that sharp, OG-citrus aroma.
Effects and Best Use
With its medium 17-22% THC and nearly balanced 55/45 make-up, Larry OG delivers a well-rounded, easy experience. It is reported as creative, giggly and relaxed: a bright, cheerful, mood-lifting head paired with a comfortable, relaxed body feel, which keeps you upbeat and sociable rather than couch-locked. The medium THC keeps it approachable.
That lively, feel-good balance makes it a versatile all-rounder, good for a creative afternoon, a sociable evening or simply unwinding with friends. The mix of a cup-winning pedigree, a sharp OG-citrus flavor and a cheerful, giggly effect is exactly why Larry OG has stayed a favourite.
Common Problems and Pro Tips
The main thing to manage with Larry OG is moisture in its dense, resinous OG buds. That tight structure can trap humidity and invite mould or bud rot, so keep humidity low through flower, run good airflow over and under the canopy, and inspect the fattest colas as harvest nears. Its sharp OG smell is strong, too, so a carbon filter is worth having indoors.
Its indoor yield rewards technique. Because the indoor range is wide, how you train the plant makes a real difference: use a ScrOG net or low-stress training to open the short, bushy canopy and spread the bud sites into the light, which pushes the harvest toward the top of the range. Strong, even light over the canopy matters here.
As a pro tip, protect that sharp citrus-pine flavor and the resin: keep the feed moderate rather than heavy, since overfeeding can mute the terpenes, and run a clean plain-water flush in the final one to two weeks. Follow the trichomes rather than the calendar at the end, then dry slowly and cure for three to four weeks for the cleanest OG taste.
FAQ
Has Larry OG won any awards?
Yes. Larry OG took 1st Place in the Hybrid category at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2014, along with wins at other local events. That record recognised its balanced profile, resin production and consistency, and for a grower it is a strong sign of a stable, proven genetic line.
How much THC does Larry OG have?
It is a medium-THC strain, testing at around 17-22%. That gives it a well-rounded, approachable effect rather than an overwhelming one. Combined with its balanced 55/45 genetics, the result is a creative, giggly head with a comfortable body feel, enjoyable for day or evening use.
Is Larry OG an autoflower?
No. Larry OG is a feminized photoperiod strain, so it flowers on a light change rather than on age. You grow it under long days, then switch to a 12/12 light cycle to start flowering. Being feminized, every seed grows into a flowering female, so there is no need to sex the plants.
What does Larry OG taste like?
It has a bright, classic OG flavor: a sharp lemony citrus lift over an earthy, woody base with a fresh pine edge. Limonene drives the citrus, pinene the pine, and terpineol, cedrene and nerolidol add earthy and woody depth, giving it that clean, zesty OG character.
How long does Larry OG take to flower?
Around 8-10 weeks once you switch to a 12/12 light cycle. As a mostly indica OG hybrid it fills in dense, resinous colas over that window. Outdoors in the northern hemisphere, plants are typically ready to harvest in October, so it suits regions with a reasonable autumn.
How much does Larry OG yield?
Yields are generous but setup-dependent: roughly 200-500 g/m² indoors depending on technique and light, and a strong 550-600 g per plant outdoors. Use a ScrOG net and good training to open the canopy and push the indoor figure toward the top of that range.
