Boston George OG
Boston George OG
Also known as: Boston George, Boston George Kush, BG
Overview
Boston George OG is a compelling hybrid cannabis strain that takes its name from the infamous figure George Jung, nicknamed 'Boston George,' whose story became widely known after the 2001 film Blow. The strain signals an East Coast identity wrapped around a West Coast-dominant cultivar family, specifically OG Kush genetics. Conflicting lineage information exists, with some sources claiming it's a cross between George's Cookies and Boston OG, while others suggest it's an OG Kush-dominant phenotype or possibly an OG Kush cross with an East Coast gas line. The strain found favor in New England circles during the mid-2010s before spreading through clone trades and small-batch drops. Boston George OG maintains a classic OG Kush identity rather than following modern dessert hybrid trends, positioning it as a connoisseur-facing selection for enthusiasts who prize authentic OG gas and heavy-hitting effects. The strain produces vibrant green buds that are leafy but dense and rounded, featuring dark orange pistils and a heavy coating of yellowish trichomes. Its appearance and robust nature make it appealing to both recreational users and cultivators seeking a reliable, potent strain with traditional OG characteristics.

Growing Information
Boston George OG is suitable for cultivators of all experience levels, thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments with a preference for warm, sunny climates. The strain has a robust nature that allows it to withstand common cultivation challenges. Flowering time typically ranges from 8-10 weeks (63-70 days), with many phenotypes hitting their stride around 9 weeks. The plant grows in a manner consistent with OG Kush-dominant genetics - compact in vegetative stage with a pronounced stretch of 1.5-2.0x after flowering transition. Indoor cultivation requires regular pruning for adequate light penetration and airflow, while outdoor plants benefit from structured feeding schedules. Growers can expect moderate to high resin production, pronounced aroma by week five, and medium yield potential that scales with training and environmental precision. The strain rewards experienced growers who dial in canopy management, calcium-magnesium support, and humidity control with dense, gassy colas.
