About Godfather OG: The Don of All OGs
Strain Overview
Godfather OG, often referred to as the “Don of all OGs,” is a potent indica cannabis strain renowned for its dense, frosty buds covered in a thick layer of trichomes. It boasts a distinct aroma and flavor profile featuring notes of pine, freshly churned earth, and sweet undertones of grape.
Genetics
This powerful strain is the result of a genetic blend that includes Bubba Kush, L.A. Confidential, and Granddaddy Purps—all indica strains.
THC Content and Effects
With THC levels averaging between 22% and 25%, and sometimes reaching up to 28%, Godfather OG is best suited for experienced users. Its effects are intensely sedative, inducing deep relaxation and a heavy body high. It’s a favorite for nighttime use, helping to alleviate insomnia, pain, headaches, and mental stress. However, beginners should exercise caution due to its strong effects, which can cause dizziness or paranoia if consumed in large quantities.
Medical Benefits
Godfather OG is highly regarded in the medical cannabis community. Its strong sedative properties make it effective for stress and anxiety relief, promoting a carefree state of mind. It’s also beneficial for those suffering from insomnia, as it aids in achieving restful sleep. Additionally, this strain can stimulate appetite and alleviate nausea, making it useful for patients with eating difficulties.
Appearance, Aroma, and Flavor
Visually, Godfather OG is striking, with dense buds, purple-toned pistils, and a thick coating of trichomes. The aroma is rich with pungent pine and earthy scents, complemented by a hint of grape. Its flavor mirrors its aroma, offering a delightful blend of natural earthiness and subtle fruitiness.
Growing Information
Godfather OG is relatively easy to grow, thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. It typically takes about 8 to 9 weeks to flower, producing medium-sized plants with dense colas and a good yield.
Usage Tips
Due to its high potency, Godfather OG is not recommended for those with low tolerance. It’s ideal for unwinding after a particularly stressful day or for those looking to disconnect and relax deeply for a few hours. Remember to start slow and see how your body responds to avoid overwhelming effects.
Feeding
- All Cannabis strains, require a full spectrum nutrient complete with the macro nutrients such as Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and the secondary nutrients and micronutrients like, calcium, sulphur, hydrogen, magnesium, manganese, carbon, iron, zinc etc.
- For coco/perlite grows, we recommend Nutrifield Coco A&B for use throughout the entire grow, with Nutrifield Organic BUD BURST at the beginning of the flowering phase right through to harvest. As bud burst is organic, this ensures a nice smooth, super clean tasting smoke that you will love!
- For soil based growing (not recommended), just make sure you use a high quality soil rich in organic matter such as compost and manure. Note that manure if high in nitrogen which you’ll want to reduce during the flowering stage.
- During the flowering stage, change the ratio so you are using up to three times more phosphorus than nitrogen and potassium. Also continue to add in secondary nutrients such as iron, copper, and manganese. The best way to do this is simply to use orgnanic Bud Burst during flowering all the way as this will ensure a smooth finish with no chemical taste. Amazing stuff!
- For organic grows, we recommend Aptus Baseboost organic nutrient with coco/perlite 70/30 ratio. This stuff is highly concentrated so a little goes a long way making it great value. Simply add the pellets to the coco as per the instructions and it will completely transform any inert growing medium into a powerful full spectrum grow media..
Growing Tips
- Your plants will need consistent air flow and good ventilation, whether you are choosing the perfect spot for an outdoor grow, or are growing in an indoor grow room. They need air that is rich in oxygen, to help prevent respiration, deter any pests, and allow your plant to grow healthy and strong. Use fans to help circulate air, or if you can afford it, exhaust systems are an excellent choice.
Why buy ‘Feminized’ Seeds
- Marijuana plants are either male or female. The male flower produces sacs or pollen designed to fertilize the female flower which produces white pistols designed to absorb the pollen. If no male plants are present in the growing area, than the female plant will just grow larger and larger flowers in search of pollen. These flowers are the cannabis buds that we all know and love. The male plants hold only minuscule amount of THC, while the female flowers are oozing with THC crystals (the good stuff). For this reason, marijuana growers are seeking only female plants in the grow room (unless they want alot of seedy buds).Feminsed seeds have been cultivated in a precise way so that the seed is genetically more likely to produce a female plant. Autoflower seeds automatically transition from the vegetative phase to the flowering stage without you needing to adjust their light exposure.
