Growing Tips for Church OG
Novice growers looking for a great starter strain should seriously consider Church OG. Church OG marijuana plants will thrive when grown indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to manage the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of California in the summertime. Church OG cannabis seeds produce bright green buds that have dark leaves, both of which are covered in trichomes. The buds are long and tall and easy to harvest. If you are going to grow outdoors, you will need to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to harvest. 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 they require without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow short to medium height and can reach around 5-6 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of 6 feet, you will need to control the height of the plants so that they don’t overgrow. Trimming the plants will help the width of the plant stay manageable. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 30-70% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are constant and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Topping, low-stress training (LST), and the Sea of Green (SOG) methods are the best choices for this strain. Each of these methods does its part in ensuring higher yields once you are ready to harvest. The Church OG strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. You will need to change the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Church OG strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. This strain provides the grower with hefty yields come harvest time.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Church OG: Dank and Delicious
The Church OG cannabis strain 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 bisabolol, while humulene and terpinolene are the secondary terpenes.
- Bisabolol: Most Dominant – Known for being a key contributor to the sweet and floral scent in some marijuana varieties.
- Humulene: Secondary Terpene – Found in beer with high hop contents, this terpene gives off an earthy flavor and aroma.
- Terpinolene: Complex Aroma – This terpene gives off a sweet yet dank and diesel aroma that can be smelled once the buds are broken apart.
