501st OG
501st OG
Also known as: 501 OG
Overview
501st OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by Rare Dankness Seeds, created by crossing Skywalker OG with Rare Dankness #1. This potent strain emerged from the early 2010s wave of Colorado-bred Kush hybrids and derives its name from the Star Wars universe's 501st Legion, hinting at its battle-ready potency. The strain features a complex genetic lineage with OG Kush heavily influencing both parent strains, combined with elements from Ghost OG, Chemdawg, and Triangle Kush through the Rare Dankness #1 line.
The buds of 501st OG are notably colorful and aesthetically striking, displaying a spectrum of green, blue, red, and purple hues that make it both rare and visually stunning. The flowers are small but dense and compact, covered in well-developed trichomes with healthy amounts of red-orange pistils. This strain produces a deep piney kush aroma mixed with sweet grape and berry undertones, creating a complex and appealing fragrance profile. 501st OG has established itself as a high-yielding cultivar that makes an excellent addition to any grow room, particularly valued by both flower enthusiasts and concentrate makers for its robust resin production.

Growing Information
501st OG is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners, featuring excellent adaptability to both indoor and outdoor environments. The plant grows into a stocky, compact structure with a medium height of 3-4 feet, making it ideal for stealth grows and space-limited operations. Indoor flowering time ranges from 7-9 weeks (50-65 days), with most phenotypes finishing around day 63. The strain responds well to training techniques including topping, LST (Low Stress Training), and SCROG methods. Indoor yields typically range from 350-400g/m² (12 ounces per square meter), while outdoor plants can produce 400-500g per plant (14+ ounces) when harvested in mid-to-late October. The plant is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, tolerant of temporary cold and damp conditions, and thrives in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperature and humidity. Optimal growing conditions include temperatures of 68-77°F and proper attention to environmental controls for maximum resin production.
