How to grow 501st OG
Taste
Seb's take
Skywalker OG crossed with Rare Dankness #1, and the name plays it straight — a legion's worth of Kush discipline in every cola. Pine, grape and sweetness on the nose; the high runs relaxed and euphoric before it turns in for the night. Compact indoors, obedient outdoors — this one follows orders.
Where it comes from
Skywalker OG crossed with Rare Dankness #1, from the breeder of the same name. The Skywalker parent lends both the name's cue and a heavy OG character; Rare Dankness #1 is the house's own workhorse line. The 501st, for the initiated, was a clone-trooper legion — which makes the naming a tidy nod to the Skywalker side rather than idle branding. An indica-dominant Kush with proper credentials on both sides.
Nose & flavour
Pine and a plain kush earthiness anchor the nose, with grape and sweetness lifting it into something more inviting. It is a classic OG spread — resinous, faintly fuel-edged beneath the fruit — and reads exactly as the lineage would lead you to expect. Sweet on the finish, grounded underneath.
The high
Relaxed and euphoric to open, happy through the middle, then a gradual turn toward sleep. The indica dominance carries the arc downward, so what begins pleasant ends restful. A dependable evening's progression, and no sharp edges along the way.
Growing it
Unusually obedient for the family. Indoors she stays compact at around 75cm — she does not stretch the way her parents do — while outdoors she will run to 200cm. Flowering is quick, 50 to 65 days, and within reach of growers of any level. The yield is the headline: up to 900 g/m², heavy by any measure. THC sits at 20 percent, with CBD at 0.87. Regular seed, so expect males in the mix. This one, notably, follows orders.
