More About the Godfather OG Strain’s Genetics
Godfather OG, sometimes called Godfather, The Don of All OG’s, or OG Godfather, is a heavy indica-leaning cultivar bred from XXX OG and Alpha OG. It’s known for punchy potency that can feel deeply relaxing and sleepy, with a head buzz that stays present early on before the body side takes over. The flavor sits in classic OG territory with spicy, kushy notes and a subtle grape edge. With reported THC levels reaching between 25-28%, it tends to land best with experienced consumers or anyone keeping their dose small.
Growing Tips for Godfather OG
Godfather OG is an easy strain to grow for novice and virgin cultivators to take to harvest. Godfather OG marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of the Mediterranean. Godfather OG cannabis seeds grow into plants that are bright green and burnt orange due to the pistils growing from within the bud sites.
If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need to hope for consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow from short to medium and can reach around 3-6 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of less than 6 feet, these plants don’t require a ton of vertical space to grow to completion, and you can even grow these plants in smaller grow setups.
The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-79 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 30-60% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity every week will help this plant grow. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are consistent and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages.
Topping, Screen of Green (ScrOG), and Low-stress training (LST) methods are the best training techniques for this particular strain of cannabis. If performed correctly and at the right time, these techniques will promote bud production and increase final yields. LST manipulates the plants by tying down the branches to increase the size and density of the buds while allowing them to grow almost naturally. Topping is the best way to control the plant’s height so it can remain manageable. ScrOG can be used to reinforce the heavier bud sites on the plant. The Godfather OG strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative growth stage. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will induce the flowering stage of growth.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Godfather OG strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 550 grams per plant. These yields are hefty considering how easy these plants are to grow to harvest.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Godfather OG: Sweet Wood & Pine
The Godfather OG cannabis strain’s terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is camphene, while caryophyllene, myrcene, and pinene are the secondary terpenes.
- Camphene: Most Dominant – Found in cannabis, the Douglas Fir, and camphor trees, this terpene adds to the woody scent and flavor of this strain.
- Caryophyllene: Secondary Terpene – This is known as the spicy or peppery terpene and can be found in cloves, black pepper, and cannabis plants.
- Myrcene: Mother of All Terpenes – Myrcene is earthy in scent and flavor and found almost exclusively in cannabis plants.
- Pinene: Pine Needles – Pinene can be found in conifer trees, pine needles, and cannabis plants and is known for its fresh and pine-like fragrance.
