Poison OG is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar with an undocumented lineage. As a mid-cycle selection, it presents a stable profile for cultivators of varying experience levels. The plant is rated at a moderate cultivation difficulty and maintains a 60-day flowering period, consistently producing a high yield in both indoor and outdoor environments.
The chemical profile of Poison OG is led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and pinene, forming a distinct aromatic and sensory experience. This arrangement of terpenes dictates the strain’s specific nuances, grounding the overall profile in earthy, spicy, and woody notes. As a THC-dominant variety, these terpenes interact with the cannabinoid content to define its chemical composition.
Users of Poison OG typically report experiencing effects characterized by a sense of calm, focus, and relaxation. These attributes make the strain a functional option for addressing pain, stress, and sleep difficulties. The genetic legacy of this cultivar is evidenced by its role as a parent to several notable offspring, including Alien Poison, Flint Tapwater, Poison OGK, and 8 Mile Lime.
