Mars OG
Mars OG
Also known as: Mars Kush
Overview
Mars OG is an indica-dominant cannabis strain that originated from California's Bay Area, specifically emerging from the medical cannabis scene. The strain belongs to the "Planetary Strains" collection, a series of OG crosses named after planets and characterized by a unique cultivation method where plants begin indoors before being transferred outside to finish flowering under natural sunlight. This cosmic cultivar is believed to be a cross between two legendary strains: OG Kush and Mars, a mysterious indica strain, though some sources trace its lineage to a crossing of Fire OG and a variety of the classic OG Kush. The strain won 1st prize for Best Concentrate at NorCal's 2011 Cannabis Cup, cementing its reputation in the cannabis community. Mars OG produces very dense buds that are dark green in color, with dark orange to red hairs littering the surface along with trichomes on the thick buds. While the plant can grow indoors or outdoors, it takes an experienced cultivator to move this clone-only plant outside before flowering.
