Diamond OG
Also known as: Diamond Kush
Overview
Diamond OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain consisting of 75% indica and 25% sativa genetics. Created through crossing the legendary OG Kush with an unknown hybrid strain, Diamond OG derives its name from its stunning visual appeal - featuring sparkling, heart-shaped buds with a mint green hue that are heavily coated in milky white crystal trichomes, giving the appearance of precious diamonds. The strain was developed as a clone-only variety, making it somewhat rare and highly sought after in the cannabis community. Diamond OG has become particularly popular along the West Coast, where it has gained recognition for its potent effects and distinctive aromatic profile. The strain's dense, resinous buds showcase the classic characteristics of its OG Kush lineage while offering a unique phenotype that emphasizes trichome production. With THC levels typically ranging from 13% to 22%, Diamond OG provides a balanced experience that appeals to both novice and experienced consumers. The strain's popularity stems from its combination of visual appeal, potent effects, and versatile applications for both recreational and medical use.

Growing Information
Diamond OG is considered moderately challenging to grow, requiring attention to environmental factors. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks and performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Indoor yields typically range from 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant. The strain prefers temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) during the day with slightly cooler nighttime temperatures. Humidity should be maintained at 50-60% during vegetative growth and reduced to 40-50% during flowering. Diamond OG plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, making them suitable for most grow spaces. The strain benefits from training techniques like SOG (Sea of Green) or SCROG (Screen of Green) to maximize yields. Growers should be aware that the dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in high humidity conditions, requiring proper air circulation and moisture control.
