Blim Burn Seeds' Godfather OG Description

Like weed that hits like a freight train? Look no further. Godfather OG is a heavy indica capable of producing over 30% THC.

Keep reading to learn all we know about Godfather OG.

History of the Godfather OG Cannabis Strain

Unfortunately, the origins of Godfather OG are shrouded in mystery. Some sources claim that this strain was created by Big Dog Exotic Genetics, while others say it was created by Alpha Medic Inc. However, neither of these breeders have confirmed creating the strain.

Meanwhile, many commercial growers and seed banks sell their own versions of Godfather OG (all with varying genetic lineages), making it almost impossible to know where the strain originally came from. We do know, however, that Alpha Medic Inc. did run a version of Godfather OG that won Best Indica at the 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup in Los Angeles. To date, Godfather OG has become increasingly popular, likely due to its exceptional potency.

Genetic Lineage of Godfather OG

Just like its origins, the genetics of Godfather OG are highly debated. At the time of writing this strain entry, there are two main theories regarding Godfather OG's genetic lineage.

Arguably the most popular theory suggests that the strain stems from a cross of XXX OG and Alpha OG. XXX OG is a heavy indica that apparently stems from OG Kush and won Best Indica at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup in LA. The strain was bred by Maven Genetics and produces dense, frosty flowers with a strong Kush aroma combining wood, spice, and pine notes. XXX OG is rumored to produce up to 30% THC under the right conditions and deliver a sleepy, hungry stone. Alpha OG, on the other hand, is a unique OG Kush phenotype hunted down by Alpha Medic Inc. The strain packs around 25% THC and classic OG terpenes. According to users, Alpha OG gives rise to a hungry and relaxing body buzz coupled with an uplifting mental euphoria.

A second and less popular theory suggests that Godfather OG stems from three US classics: LA Confidential, Grandaddy Purps, and Bubba Kush. LA Confidential is a frosty hybrid that produces dense, green buds with purple and blue highlights. It makes for a smooth smoke and boasts a skunky aroma, as well as sleepy effects that appeal to many smokers. Granddaddy Purps, on the other hand, is a renowned Californian strain discovered by Ken Estes in the early 2000s. Combining Mendo Purps, Skunk, and Afghani genetics, GDP produces stunning purple buds with sweet berry and grape aromas, along with a heavy stone. Finally, Bubba Kush was created by Matt Berger in the late 1990s in Florida. With the pungent aromas of earthy coffee, Bubba Kush is known to elevate the mood while fully relaxing the body.

Physical Characteristics of Godfather OG

Godfather OG is said to be indica dominant, which likely manifests in its morphology. In general, the plants appear stocky and bushy, producing dense, frosty flowers. Depending on how she's grown, Godfather OG can develop purple and blue hues that contrast beautifully against its shades of green and orange.

Properties and Effects of Godfather OG

Google "world's strongest weed" and you'll likely find references to Godfather OG. Capable of producing up to 34% THC, Godfather OG is highly regarded as one of the world's most potent cannabis strains. Moreover, this fragrant and hard-hitting OG packs plenty of terpenes. Generally, Godfather OG is dominant in myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, though it may also contain pinene, linalool, and terpineol in lower concentrations.

Break open a dense, frosty Godfather OG nug and you'll be hit by a surprisingly sweet fruit aroma with the classic notes of earth, spice, and Kush you'd expect from an OG. Process her dense buds in a grinder, however, and this heavy-hitter may surprise you with subtle notes of fresh pine and berries. Light her up, and Godfather OG makes for a delicious smoking/vaping experience. With every pull, you'll enjoy full-bodied hits that tantalize your taste buds with sweet flavors backed by earthy, piney, and spicy undertones. Close your eyes, and you'll feel as if you're taking a leisurely morning stroll through a damp forest with some gassy, fermented fruit rotting away in your backpack.

As is to be expected from such a THC-packed strain, Godfather OG is very potent and best left to experienced smokers with a high tolerance. Immediately after inhaling her sweet, complex smoke/vapor, Godfather OG will hit you with a one-two punch between the eyes. Within minutes, you'll feel uplifted and happy. Wait a little longer, and Godfather OG will wash over your body with its deeply relaxing stone. Even veteran smokers report feeling almost completely immobile under this strain's heavy blanket-like effects, so rookie smokers should definitely proceed with caution.

Uses of Godfather OG

Given its deeply relaxing physical effects, Godfather OG is usually enjoyed by indica lovers with a high tolerance. Whatever you do, do not smoke this strain if you need to stay focused or productive. Instead, save Godfather OG for those cozy nights where you can settle in on the couch or bed guilt-free and indulge in your favorite munchies while gaming, watching a movie, or browsing the web. Then, curl up, doze off, and let your body recover. Based on user reports, Godfather OG is best enjoyed:

• On weekends or holidays

• During staycations

• After work or a workout

• Before bed

Thanks to its deep physical stone, Godfather OG appeals to all kinds of different cannabis users. However, it is important to note that, with over 30% THC, this strain is likely too strong for inexperienced smokers, and should be enjoyed in moderation. If not, Godfather OG may produce side effects, such as:

• Dizziness

• Dry mouth and eyes

• Sedation or couch-lock

• Paranoia and anxiety

Cultivation and Production of Godfather OG

At the time of writing this strain entry, Godfather OG seeds are readily available from a variety of breeders and seed banks, including Blimburn Seeds, Premium Cultivars, North Atlantic Seed Bank, and more. Note that these strains often have different genetic origins to those discussed earlier.

Based on information from these seed banks and breeders, Godfather OG is an indica-dominant variety that's fairly easy to grow indoors and outdoors. However, experienced growers may be able to achieve notably better yields by providing plants with optimal conditions and using training techniques to maximize output. LST, topping, and lollipopping, for example, are techniques that may help to open up this strain's dense canopy and channel its energy toward key bud sites. On average, Godfather OG plants take about 8–10 weeks to flower indoors and can produce harvests of up to 600g/m².
