Fire OG is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of SFV OG Kush. Within the cultivation community, it is a representative of the OG lines that gained popularity in Southern California during the late 2000s. The strain is rated as a moderate level of difficulty for growers, capable of thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. With an average flowering period of 70 days, plants consistently reach a high yield capacity.
The chemical complexity of Fire OG is defined by a distinct terpene hierarchy, led primarily by caryophyllene, followed by limonene, humulene, myrcene, linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, pinene, and terpinolene. This specific terpene composition informs the strain's sensory expression, providing a nuanced aromatic experience consistent with its THC-dominant chemical profile, which features 16.4% THC, 0% CBD, and 0.39% CBG.
Users typically report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted following consumption, properties that make the strain a common choice for managing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. The genetic influence of Fire OG has been significant, serving as a foundational parent for numerous cultivars. Its notable lineage includes Animal Cookies, Cherry Cookies, Cherry Fire Pie OG, Fire Cookies V2, Fire OG x Wookies, Great Lakes Kush, Killsberry2, Lemon Fire OG, Wizardz Spit, 818 SFV Fire OG, Banana Fire OG, and Cheesy Fire OG.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy

morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
