Platinum OG

All about Platinum OG

Platinum OG is a high-quality cannabis strain resulting from the cross between Josh D OG and Platinum, which gives it typical OG Kush characteristics but with a more vigorous growth and mixed effects. Moreover, its 'old school' flavors are a delight, while its THC levels are suitable only for experienced consumers.

Effects of Platinum OG

Due to its THC levels between 25 and 28%, it's a very potent strain not recommended for beginners. The balanced indica-sativa predominance of Platinum OG generates mixed effects, that starts with a pronounced psychoactive high, stimulating the brain and allowing for increased concentration, creativity, and imagination during relaxed conversations or recreational activities.

Then, gradually, the effect shifts to intense relaxation, although with a low 'Couch Lock' level, keeping the user functional until they decide to go to sleep. Further, the calming effects are particularly noticeable at this point, as sleep is restorative and the body is immersed in immense pleasure.

Flavor and aroma of Platinum OG

Platinum OG has a complex terpene profile dominated by myrcene, pinene, and beta-caryophyllene, providing an earthy flavor with woody undertones and spicy tones reminiscent of cannabis strains that emerged in the early century. Indeed, this flavor and aroma profile will captivate lovers of classic genetics.

How to grow Platinum OG indoors

Platinum OG grows dense with many lateral branches due to its Kush genetics, although it stands out for its lush hybrid vigor that will require attention to prevent the surge experienced after the switch to 12/12 from exceeding the limits of the growing space.

Techniques such as LST, SOG, or SCROG are recommended to control height and maximize production, which typically ranges from 300-400 grams per square meter to harvest in 63-70 days of flowering.

How to grow Platinum OG outdoors

Outdoors, Platinum OG displays impressive vigor, especially in warm areas where the sun penetrates its structure evenly. It produces large branches with lime green flowers, compact and very aromatic, in addition to having a large number of trichomes.

Under optimal conditions and experienced hands, this plant can easily exceed 1000 grams per plant, with the harvest scheduled for early to mid-October.
