For decades, OG Kush has ruled the west coast of the United States. It has even gone on to become one of the most recognizable names in the cannabis scene. Some of its phenotypes such as Tahoe OG, SFV OG, and Ghost OG have all achieved elite status and used by many breeders to create new hybrids.

One descendant, True OG, is itself a popular strain originating from California. Somehow, its reputation is vastly overshadowed by the more illustrious kins. Still, it is a force to reckon with having placed second in the High Times Medical Cup Best Indica category since 2010.

The development of Lemon Garlic OG started with a careful selection of a True OG phenotype. It took a series of backcrossing across numerous generations to arrive at a stable mother that showcases a pungent, citrusy aroma and capable of delivering a gentle, head-clearing high complemented by long-lasting body stone.

The feminized seeds of Lemon Garlic OG were produced from highly stabilized mother plants. These were grown using 100% organic farming methods and handpicked after passing a rigorous inspection. As a result, these seeds have among the highest germination rate in the industry. Moreover, the chances of any males showing up are almost nil.

Growing Lemon Garlic OG Feminized

First, the fact that these are feminized seeds means one thing - no males with more than 9 out of 10 seeds turning out to be females. In this regard, it offers peace of mind, but that does not mean due diligence is no longer needed. At the very least, each plant requires a closer look once pre-flowers appear to rule out the possibility of a male miraculously appearing.

Other than that, growing Lemon Garlic OG is straightforward. For a mostly Indica, its stature is not small and compact. Instead, it is a medium-sized plant that requires a little more space than many modern strains of the same species.

After germination and transplanting the seedlings, the rapid vegetative growth allows for a quicker transition to the flowering phase. It features long, thin leaves that combined with some trimming and pruning would allow light penetration into the lower branches. An added benefit is that the careful management of the space in between the plants allows for better air circulation. It can only further bolster its already excellent natural resistance against pests and molds.

After flipping the switch, it takes at least nine weeks of flowering for the buds to develop fully. By this time, the long colas would be filled with thick layers of trichomes and produce a pungent odor. Installing a carbon filter to neutralize the scent is highly recommended. Once harvested, expect the yield to be anywhere from 400-600 grams per square meter.

Outdoors, Lemon Garlic OG prefers a temperate climate - one that is similar to the Mediterranean. It is a large plant that could reach 3 to 5 meters tall. Even so, it does not require as many nutrients as it appears to need. Thus, it entails a careful measurement of feeds so as not to cause a nutrient burn. During harvest by the second to the third week of October, it produces an insane yield between 1000-3000 grams per plant.

Fragrance and Flavor

Lemon Garlic OG boasts of one of the incredibly unique aromas among the thousands of varieties. It combines the scents of lemon, pine, and garlic in an exotic blend with a fresh, grassy undertone.

Effects

Sampling Lemon Garlic OG for the first time often leads to the same question: How is it possible for an 80% Indica-dominant hybrid to deliver a long-lasting profound mental stimulation to go along with the body high.

The clues are evident in the delightful scent it produces. Mainly responsible for the aroma are terpenes, and it appears that this strain has plentiful of these compounds. It synergizes with the cannabinoids in a phenomenon called entourage effect. Mainly, the terpenoids, THC, CBD, and others enhance the effects each one induces.

Consider too that it contains a high level of the psychoactive compound. From the moment it works into the body, a euphoric rush fills the head. It wipes away negative thoughts from the mind. At the same time, it works on the mood, uplifting it and ushering in the sense of joy.

Gradually, the strain works its way to the body to complement the focused high. It puts the muscles at ease and melts away tensions. Soon, laziness sets in before eventually leading to a full-on couch-lock. While basking in such a pleasurable and tranquilizing experience, chilling gives way to hours of slumber.

Medical

Lemon Garlic OG, by flooding the mind and the body with a euphoric buzz, quickly wipes out stress. It stays true to the tradition of the OG lineage in putting the body in a relaxed state. Consequently, the relaxed demeanor coupled with therapeutic properties helps ward off depression and anxiety.

It is an afternoon or early evening strain, and not meant for use when there remains a ton of things to do. Once the sedating high takes over the body, it does not take long for drowsiness to set in, and ultimately leading to sleep - a benefit that those people who have insomnia could appreciate.

Despite the purported medical use of this strain, the dosage should be carefully monitored. Some conditions such as dry mouth and eyes are quite common with the use of cannabis, and so too are dizziness. However, abuse could lead to a more mind-bending high with racy thoughts. It could also lead to feeling paranoid or highly anxious.

Feminized Lemon Garlic OG Seeds

As a descendant of OG Kush, any strain for that matter are put under heavy scrutiny. Amidst the tons of new varieties in recent years, only a few stand out - one of which is Lemon Garlic OG, a perennial second placer in many medical cups. Such is a testament to its quality and efficacy for medical use.

It can now be had through the feminized seeds made available by Homegrown Cannabis Co. The plants are not difficult to cultivate. Moreover, it has a somewhat quick flowering time considering that it produces an incredible yield of 1000-3000 grams per plant outdoors.
