How to Grow Scott OG
Scott OG is a 70% indica-dominant feminized strain that crosses Triangle Kush with Rare Dankness #1, two heavyweight OG and Kush lines. It pairs a bold Kush, lemon and sour flavor with a happy, relaxing effect, and carries a moderate THC level of 15 to 19%, which places Scott OG squarely in the medium range. This guide walks through the whole grow, from germinating the seeds to the final cure.
It reaches around 4.92 ft, finishes flowering in 8 to 10 weeks, and rewards you with a high yield. Its sturdy OG genetics and forgiving nature make it a beginner-friendly plant, and because the seeds are feminized, every one grows into a bud-bearing female.

How to Germinate Scott OG Seeds
A healthy harvest starts at germination. The paper towel method is hard to beat: fold the Scott OG seeds inside two damp sheets, slide them between two plates, and keep them somewhere dark at 70 to 79°F. A taproot usually appears in two to five days.
Once the taproot is a few millimeters long, move each seed root-down about 1 cm deep into a small pot of light, airy medium. Keep it lightly moist rather than soaked, hold humidity around 65 to 70%, and give soft light while the first true leaves open. Its sturdy Triangle Kush and Rare Dankness genetics make for a vigorous, forgiving seedling.
Starter tips
- Use plain, lightly pH-balanced water (pH 5.5 to 6.5) for the first week.
- Keep seedlings warm and humid, but never waterlogged.
- Hold off on nutrients until the second set of serrated leaves appears.
Growing Scott OG in the Vegetative Stage
Scott OG likes a temperate climate and, as a 70% indica, it grows into a sturdy, bushy plant reaching around 1.5 m. Keep it on 18 hours of light a day, aim for day temperatures of 68 to 79°F, and hold humidity around 50 to 60%. Its tough OG frame makes it a resilient, low-fuss grower through veg, which is part of why it suits beginners.
This is the stage to shape the plant. Light topping and low-stress training open up the dense indica canopy and improve airflow and light to the lower buds, which is how you push its yield toward the top of its range. Keep the plants spaced so a bushy indica does not crowd itself.
Its sturdy frame and October finish make it a solid outdoor plant across much of the US:
- Southern California and the Southwest: the warm, dry season suits its 8 to 10 week bloom and keeps the dense, resinous colas clean through October.
- Pacific Northwest and cooler states: its hardy OG genetics handle cool nights well and finish before the wet autumn sets in.
- Colorado and mountain states: its resilient roots and October harvest suit shorter, cooler mountain seasons.
Flowering and Buds of Scott OG
Indoors, flip Scott OG to a 12/12 light cycle to trigger flowering, which runs 8 to 10 weeks. Outdoors it ripens through October. As a 70% indica it has a short stretch after the flip, then settles into dense, chunky, resinous colas true to its OG heritage.
Through bloom, drop humidity to 40 to 45% and keep air moving so the tight flowers do not trap moisture. The buds build a sharp Kush, lemon and sour aroma and frost up well, pointing to the Triangle Kush and Rare Dankness behind them.
At 15 to 19% THC it sits comfortably in the medium range, so the effect is balanced and pleasant rather than overwhelming, which makes it an easy strain to enjoy without being floored.
Common Problems and Pro Tips
Scott OG is beginner-friendly, but its dense OG buds point to a few things worth watching.
- Bud density and mold: its tight, resinous colas can trap humidity, so keep a fan moving and humidity below 45% late in flower.
- Canopy airflow: this bushy indica crowds itself, so defoliate lightly and space plants out to keep air flowing to the lower buds.
- Train for the yield: top and train the canopy early and give it strong light to push the harvest toward the high end of its range.
Expert tip: its deep OG and Kush background loves a steady feed through the stretch, then an easing off of nitrogen in bloom. Let cool nights late in flower sharpen the resin and deepen the color for a frosty, flavorful harvest that makes the most of its Triangle Kush and Rare Dankness heritage.
Aroma, Flavor and Effects
The nose is loud and classic OG: an earthy, piney Kush backbone lifted by bright lemon and a sour citrus tang. It is pungent and sharp rather than sweet, and it grows more intense as the buds cure.
The flavor follows the nose, a bold Kush base with lemon and a sour, zesty finish. On the effect side it is happy and relaxing, an easy-going lift that tends to bring on the munchies, so keep a snack handy. Because THC is moderate at 15 to 19%, it stays balanced and approachable, a friendly choice for newer growers and users.
Dominant terpenes
Scott OG is shaped by four terpenes: Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Pinene and Limonene. Myrcene brings the earthy, musky base; Caryophyllene a peppery, spicy warmth; Pinene a fresh pine lift; and Limonene the bright lemon note that ties straight into its citrus flavor. Together they explain its sharp Kush and lemon aroma and its relaxed, happy feel.
Nutrient Schedule
Treat the figures below as a starting map, not a rulebook. Scott OG feeds steadily through the stretch, so read the plant first: tip burn means back off, while pale, slow growth means it wants a little more. All values use EC.
| Stage | EC |
|---|---|
| Seedling | 0.4–0.6 |
| Growth | 0.8–1.2 |
| Early flower | 1.2–1.4 |
| Full flower | 1.4–1.6 |
| Flush | 0.0–0.4 |
Keep the pH around 6.0 to 6.5 in soil and 5.5 to 6.0 in hydro so the roots can actually take up what you feed.
What to Do With Your Trim: Extracts and Hash
Scott OG frosts up with resin from its Triangle Kush and Rare Dankness side, so its trim is well worth keeping. The sugar leaves you take off while manicuring carry plenty of trichomes and suit Ice Water Hash, where cold water and agitation separate the resin heads into a clean, solventless concentrate. Pressing that hash into rosin keeps the Kush and lemon flavor intact, or you can run a solvent extraction if that is your setup. The bare stems will not extract, but chopped and composted they feed organic matter back into the soil for your next grow.
Harvesting, Drying and Curing Scott OG
Timing the harvest comes down to the trichomes. Grab a loupe and watch the heads turn from clear to milky white; a scattering of amber signals peak ripeness. Indoors this lands 8 to 10 weeks after the flip, and outdoors the plants are ready through October.
After the cut, hang the branches in a dark room at 59 to 68°F with humidity near 50% and gentle air movement. Slow beats fast: drying over 10 to 14 days protects the Kush, lemon and sour aromas that define this strain. When the small stems snap instead of bending, move the buds into jars.
Cure in sealed glass, opening the jars daily for the first week to let moisture escape, then easing off as the aroma deepens. Two to four weeks of patience here is where the bold Kush and lemon flavor really comes forward, and it is the step most first-time growers rush.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Scott OG easy to grow for beginners?
Yes, Scott OG is beginner-friendly. It is a sturdy, forgiving 70% indica with tough Triangle Kush and Rare Dankness roots, so it handles mistakes and cool nights well and finishes in 8 to 10 weeks. Give the dense buds good airflow and keep humidity down late in flower, and a first-time grower will do well.
How long does Scott OG take to flower?
Scott OG flowers in 8 to 10 weeks once you switch it to a 12/12 light cycle indoors. Grown outdoors, it is ready through October. As a 70% indica it has a short stretch after the flip, so it stays sturdy and fills out into dense, resinous colas fairly quickly and reliably.
How strong is Scott OG?
Scott OG is a medium-strength strain, with a THC level of 15 to 19%. The effect is happy and relaxing with a tendency to bring on the munchies, a balanced lift rather than an overpowering one. That moderate potency makes it an easy, enjoyable strain for a wide range of growers and users.
How much does Scott OG yield?
Scott OG gives a high yield, with indoor figures around 1.64 to 1.8 oz/ft² and outdoor plants producing roughly 8.82 to 14.11 oz each. Topping, training the canopy, and giving it strong light are what push it toward the top of that range, even for a newer grower.
What does Scott OG taste and smell like?
Scott OG leads with an earthy, piney Kush backbone lifted by bright lemon and a sour citrus tang. It is pungent and sharp rather than sweet, straight from its Triangle Kush and Rare Dankness roots. Both the smell and taste intensify as the buds cure slowly in the jar after harvest.
Is Scott OG good for making hash?
Yes. Scott OG comes from resin-heavy OG and Kush genetics, so its frosty buds and trim are excellent for hash. Ice Water Hash pressed into rosin keeps its sharp Kush and lemon flavor intact. Cool nights late in flower can push the trichome production even further for a bigger return.
