West Coast OG is a modern auto-flowering strain with undocumented lineage. Its development focuses on accessibility for growers of all experience levels, thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. While the flowering period reaches 73 days, the strain is recognized for producing a low yield, prioritizing consistency in its current iteration as a reliable, easy-to-grow option.
The terpene profile of West Coast OG is led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, and rounded out by limonene. This combination shapes its sensory identity, characterized by the dominant earthy influence of myrcene, the subtle spice of caryophyllene, and the nuanced citrus top notes provided by limonene. These compounds define the aromatic and flavor landscape of the strain throughout its cycle.
This THC-dominant cultivar, testing at 22.5% THC, produces effects that are characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Users report that these qualities make the strain suitable for addressing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Its legacy is established through its notable offspring, which include Canaloupe Kush Auto, Chem Sweat Auto, Gelato Auto OG, Kushy Chem Auto, OG Kush Auto F4 IBL, and the West Coast OG x Gelato Auto 41 cross.

●●○○
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
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
