Lineage of SFV OG

The original strain was founded in San Fernando Valley, California to be exact. However, the parent plant OG Kush did not originate in the Valley.

So, how did an OG cut get down there?

When the founder of OG Kush left the country, he left two cuts of the strain with two different growers. One cut went to Orange County and eventually turned into what we know as Larry OG. The other went to the valley and eventually became known as SFV OG.

The original cross of OG Kush is a unique lineage containing ChemDawg x (Lemon Thai x Old World Paki Kush). SFV OG has become extremely popular over the years. While most people would assume OG would mean it is an indica, SFV OG is actually a sativa dominant hybrid. The reason for this is the cut of SFV OG was back crossed multiple times.

Growing SFV OG

SFV OG remains a popular strain amongst growers. This flower has a short flowering phase of only seven to nine weeks. SFV OG is also known for gaining most of its weight during the last couple of weeks of its life. The overall yield is moderate to high, but the quality is always there. This is considered an intermediate strain for home growing.

Where to Find SFV OG

After SFV OG appeared in the 2012 Cannabis Cup, it spread nearly all over the United States. However, you'll still find the best quality cannabis and deals in this strain's native California.
