Shaman OG is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar derived from the genetics of Face/Off OG BX2. Designed for cultivators seeking high yields through a moderate difficulty level, this strain reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering cycle. It is versatile enough to be grown successfully in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its genetic impact is evidenced by its role as a parent to the notable offspring variety, Knockout.
The complex terpene profile of Shaman OG is anchored by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene and limonene, with secondary contributions from humulene, nerolidol, linalool, p-cymene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, guaiol, and pinene. The profile rounds out with trace occurrences of caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, borneol, terpinolene, and geraniol. This chemical array creates a distinct sensory experience that balances the spicy, peppery notes of caryophyllene with the earthy, citrus, and herbal undertones provided by the supporting terpenes.
As a THC-dominant variety, Shaman OG is engineered to produce effects characterized by a sense of relaxation, calm, and mental focus. These specific properties make it a professional choice for users managing pain, stress, or sleep disturbances. Through its focused chemical composition, the strain serves as a targeted tool for those seeking both physiological relief and a composed, steady state of mind.
