Seb's take
Afghan OG and Geist OG, selected down to a more compact plant than most OG Kush relatives, with broad fan leaves shading purple. The high keeps the dreamy character of both parents but sits mostly in the head rather than the body.
Where it comes from
Afghan OG and Geist OG behind her, both drawn from Humboldt Seeds Organization's OG stock and selected down to what the breeders call their elite picks. The aim was a heavier harvest on a tidier frame than most OG Kush relations manage, and the plant shows its Afghan side plainly, broad fan leaves, wider than the OG average, shading into handsome purple as she matures. A 70% indica at heart, she keeps the dreamy OG character her parents are named for.
Nose & flavour
The record sets down no flavour notes, so I will not conjure any. What it does tell us is the family: OG on both sides, which tends toward fuel, pine and earth rather than sweetness. Take that as the direction of travel rather than a promise, and let the plant speak for herself once she is in the jar.
The high
Effects go unlisted in the record, but the description is clear enough on shape: she keeps the dreamy character of both OG parents while sitting more in the head than the body. A cerebral lean, then, unusual for a plant this indica-heavy, the OG lineage asserting its mind over its weight. Reason from that rather than from any figure I might otherwise be tempted to invent.
Growing it
Feminised and finishing in 56 to 60 days, she returns 450 to 600 g/m². The record notes heights of 300 to 400cm, so compact here is very much a family comparison and not an absolute; against her fellow OG Kush relations she is tidier, but she is no small plant. Broad-leaved and vigorous, she suits a grower with vertical room to spare and the patience to manage her stretch. Handsome purple tones come in as she finishes, a fair reward for the space she asks.
