OG/99
OG/99 is a modern hybrid-sativa developed from Tahoe OG Kush Fem. As a cultivar, it maintains a reputation for high yields and is suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Growers should anticipate a flowering period of 66 days, with an overall cultivation difficulty classified as moderate. This strain has established a notable genetic legacy, serving as a primary contributor to progeny such as Glue 75% and Gorilla Princess.
The complex terpene profile of OG/99 is led by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, limonene, humulene, and linalool. These are supported by secondary notes of bisabolol, nerolidol, beta-pinene, and pinene, with trace contributions from geraniol, borneol, camphene, terpinolene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This chemical architecture creates a specific sensory experience that is defined by the interaction of these dominant sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, OG/99 is characterized by its ability to induce effects described as creative, uplifted, and euphoric. Given these psychoactive properties, the strain is primarily utilized for tasks requiring focus, social engagement, or the stimulation of creativity. Its balanced trait profile makes it a deliberate choice for consumers seeking a functional yet elevated state, consistent with its status as a modern, high-yielding hybrid.

●●○○
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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
