General info
A heavy-handed indica hybrid, Fire OG is possibly the most potent of the OG family. This strain provides a pungent citrus, lemon, and earthy bouquet which delights the senses. However, Fire OG’s claim to fame is the frosty, trichome covered buds which provide a potency best suited for medical patients with a higher tolerance.
As a 70/30 indica dominant hybrid consumers can expect this strain to be relaxing, sedating, and provide a strong, long lasting body effect. Fire OG is most often recommended for nighttime use.
Grow info
Growing Fire OG is not for the novice, and typically won’t be found in many home grows. This strain can be difficult to produce quality yields, as it requires knowledge and experience with advance nutrients and feeding. The plants should also be pruned and topped for maximum yields. While Fire OG can handle colder temperatures, it is highly sensitive to moisture and mold.
Because Fire OG is such a sensitive plant, it performs best indoors where the environment can be controlled and monitored.
