True OG

Lineage True OG strain

True OG is a select phenotype of OG Kush, a mostly Indica strain (70% Indica / 30% Sativa). It tends to show a citrus, lemon, pine and skunk flavor with a strong, mostly Indica body high.

It also carries a High THC of 23% – 27%, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a strong, relaxing experience.

Origin

True OG has its roots firmly in the United States, originating in California, where it quickly earned a reputation for potent effects and a classic OG aroma. It is a direct descendant of the OG Kush family, known for its strong, enduring lineage.

As its popularity spread globally, breeders in both America and Europe developed their own versions, keeping True OG a staple in the cannabis community. Its rich history is a testament to its lasting appeal and exceptional quality.

True OG Strain Awards

True OG has consistently proven its value in high-level cannabis competitions, earning recognition for its classic OG structure, potency and terpene profile.

At the High Times Cannabis Cup, True OG secured 2nd Place in the Indica category in 2009 and repeated that result in 2012, 2013 and 2014, an exceptional four-time runner-up record that highlights its consistency in one of the most demanding categories.

More recently, at the Emerald Cup 2018, True OG took 2nd Place in the Outdoor Mix category, further demonstrating its strength in full-term outdoor cultivation. These repeated podium finishes reinforce True OG’s reputation as a stable, competition-proven OG genetic with enduring appeal.

True OG Sativa or Indica?

True OG is a predominantly indica strain (70% Indica / 30% Sativa), known for the strong, relaxing effects characteristic of the indica family. It delivers a deeply calming experience, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Where sativa strains tend to be more energizing and cerebral, True OG’s indica dominance leans toward rest, relaxation and overall tranquility, which also makes it a popular choice for anyone looking to ease fatigue, muscle tension and everyday stress.

True OG Strain Effects

The effects of True OG are notably happy, relaxed and talkative, a favorite among indica lovers. Users often report a soothing body high that eases tension and stress, alongside a gentle euphoria that lifts the mood. It is perfect for evening use, with a soothing character that can help ease into restful sleep, and many also reach for it to take the edge off physical discomfort. Its balanced effects make it suitable for both recreational and medicinal users.

Germinating True OG seeds

It is important to germinate your weed seeds carefully if you want to have a healthy harvest from day one. Although there are several methods to germinate our Feminized cannabis seeds, at Blimburn Seeds, we recommend our customers to follow our easy and simple technique. Before removing our True OG seeds from their packaging, remember that cannabis seeds are alive and delicate. Our hands are full of bacteria that can easily infect seeds and ruin our germination.

Set Up Your Germination Station: Begin by moistening two paper towels with room temperature water. Lay one paper towel on a plate and spread the seeds on it, spacing them about 2 cm apart. Place the second paper towel on top of the seeds, and make sure to remove any excess water from the plate. Cover the setup with another opaque plate and store it in a warm, dark location.

Monitoring: Make sure paper towels are still moist by checking every 4-6 hours and spraying room temperature water. Typically, germination should occur within 24 to 120 hours. Once the seeds have sprouted tap roots, plant them with the roots facing down and cover with about 2 cm of soil. Remember to water the soil regularly by spraying to keep it moist. It may take up to two weeks for the plants to start growing.

Ideal Conditions: Maintain a consistent temperature of 70-90ºF in the germination area. Use purified room temperature bottled water with a pH level between 5.5 and 7. Keep the seeds away from light, allowing exposure for less than 1 minute before and during germination. Avoid touching the seeds or applying pressure to them.

Record Keeping: To qualify for the three month germination guarantee, it is necessary to follow all the steps outlined in our germination guidelines. Please do not use alternative germination methods, such as using a water bottle or planting directly into soil. Document the germination process through photography or video, as it will be requested when assessing claims for replacement products.

True OG Seeds Flowering Time

True OG typically flowers in around 8 to 10 weeks, relatively quick for an indica-dominant plant. Growers appreciate its resilience and the dense, resinous buds it produces. Indoors it can yield a generous harvest with proper care, and outdoor growers also find success, particularly in warmer climates. That short flowering period, combined with its robust nature, makes True OG an attractive option for novice and experienced growers alike.

How to grow True OG strain?

True OG seeds can be grown indoors or outdoors under optimal conditions, to avoid any problems during their development. Although they are moderately easy to grow and hardy, we should always prevent any pests.

You can use different growing methods to retain and enhance the terpenes and flavors of your feminized True OG buds.

• Use a quality substrate. Perlite, peat or coco coir are ideal for moisture retention.
• Thanks to the experience of our customers with our feminized True OG seeds, we know that we can increase yields by up to 20%.

For optimal indoor cultivation, Blimburn Seeds advises wide, vertical spaces and the use of the ScrOG method to obtain a uniform canopy and increase the size of the lower flowers. If you plan to grow our feminized seeds outdoors, we have developed a grow guide for optimal cultivation in any area of the world.

Remember that our plants also need good nutrients as seedlings, in their vegetative period and finally in their flowering period.

When growing outdoors, choose the best date for your crop and a place where the plants receive the most hours of sunshine. If you prefer to grow indoors, use good tents, textile pots, led lighting, an air extractor to circulate clean air and, of course, a good carbon filter to avoid problems with neighbors or the law.

Keep daytime temperatures between 68-80 ℉ and nighttime temperatures 7 to 9 ℉ cooler than the day.

Feminized plants need low humidity to thrive. Keep relative humidity (RH) at 55%-60% during the vegetative phase, reduce it to around 40% during flowering and to about 30% by harvest.

Outdoors, growers in the Northern Hemisphere should sow in April to harvest in mid October, with each healthy plant producing about 7.05 – 10.58 oz/plant | 200 – 300 gr/plant. Indoors, these crops have a flowering time of 8 – 10 weeks and produce about 1.31 – 1.64 oz/ft² | 400 – 500 gr/m².

Ideal Climate for Growing

True OG flourishes in a warm, temperate climate with consistent sunlight and moderate humidity. For optimal growth, the ideal temperature range is approximately 70-80 ℉ (21-27 ℃), which nurtures the plant’s robust character while preventing heat or cold stress.

It does best at elevations below 3,000 feet, where conditions are most favorable. Plenty of direct sunlight throughout the growing season is key to a bountiful harvest.

In the United States, ideal states include California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and Texas, which typically enjoy warm summers and mild winters. Regions of Florida and Georgia can also deliver good results thanks to their long growing seasons. With the right environment and temperature management, growers can secure the best outcomes for their True OG crops.

What does the strain smell like?

The buds of True OG are rock hard, soaked in resin and carry a crystalline sheen from the sheer amount of trichomes. Its taste and aroma are a classic OG blend of citrus, lemon, pine and skunk, with a sour-diesel edge over a damp, earthy undertone.

True OG makes a delicious, smooth smoke and delivers a strong, relaxing experience. Thanks to its large resin production, it is also an ideal strain for high quality extracts and concentrates.

True OG Strain terpenes

True OG carries a bold, classic OG aroma of citrus, lemon, pine and skunk, built on a deep profile of eighteen terpenes. Four dominant players shape both its scent and its happy, deeply relaxing effect.

Myrcene forms the earthy, musky base with the signature OG skunk depth. The most common cannabis terpene and the one most tied to body relaxation, it drives the soothing calm at the heart of this indica.

Limonene brings the bright citrus-lemon note tied to an elevated, positive mood, adding the happy lift that keeps the calm from turning heavy.

Alpha-Pinene adds the sharp pine note in the aroma, linked to clarity and alertness, which keeps the head bright and sociable so the relaxation stays happy and talkative.

Caryophyllene contributes a warm, peppery, fuel-like spice and is the only terpene known to bind the body’s CB2 receptors, widely linked to easing tension and muscle spasms.

A deep supporting cast rounds things out: Citral adds more lemon sparkle, Humulene an earthy, hoppy warmth, Terpineol, Linalool, Nerolidol and Phytol soft floral and grounding calm, Borneol and Camphene cooling camphor-herbal tones tied to easing muscle tension, Terpinolene a fresh herbal lift, Eugenol a warm clove spice, Farnesene a soft green-floral note, and Fenchol, Alpha-Cedrene and Cadinene woody, earthy depth, giving True OG a citrus, lemon, pine and skunk aroma paired with a happy, relaxed and talkative effect.
