About this Hybrid Strain
Alpha OG, sometimes referred to as Alpha OG Kush, is a prestigious indica-dominant hybrid with an impressive accolade to its name, having secured 2nd place at the Los Angeles Cannabis Cup in 2014. This recognition is a testament to its outstanding qualities and robust genetic lineage, being a notable phenotype of OG Kush. The buds of Alpha OG are visually striking, with spade-shaped nugs that showcase a beautiful blend of sage and olive green hues. Interspersed with deep amber and orange pistils, these buds offer a vibrant contrast that enhances their allure. This distinct appearance sets Alpha OG apart, making it a visually appealing choice for cannabis connoisseurs.
Alpha OG presents a unique aroma and flavor profile, dominated by pine and diesel notes. This potent combination produces a pungent, earthy sensory experience that is both memorable and distinctive. The rich aroma and taste profile of Alpha OG ensure a profound and enjoyable consumption experience.
With an average THC content around 20%, Alpha OG offers a moderately potent experience characterized by an immediate cerebral head high. This uplifts the spirit and sharpens focus, followed by a transition to a relaxing body high. This progression from mental energy to physical relaxation is typical, with consumers often reporting increased hunger and a tendency towards sleepiness, leading to a state of euphoric relaxation. However, users should be aware of possible side effects, which, while generally mild and manageable, can include dry mouth and eyes. More severe reactions like dizziness and paranoia may occur if consumed in excess of one's tolerance level. Thus, moderation is key to enjoying Alpha OG's full range of benefits without the unwanted effects.
As a phenotype of OG Kush, Alpha OG likely inherits its parent's growing traits, including resilience and a preference for specific climatic conditions. The presence of pine and diesel notes suggests a terpene profile rich in myrcene and caryophyllene, contributing to its distinctive aroma, flavor, and potentially therapeutic effects.
