Superman OG
Superman OG
Also known as: Superman Kush, Scooperman
Overview
Superman OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (60% indica/40% sativa) that has gained recognition throughout southern California and beyond. The strain is a cross between the popular Tahoe OG and Bubba Kush strains, though its genetics are somewhat debated in the cannabis community due to variations from different breeders. This dank bud boasts a moderately high THC level that ranges from 19-23% on average, with some batches testing as high as 27%. The CBD levels are minimal, usually less than 1%, with some batches showing trace amounts up to 2%.
The strain produces large fluffy dark olive green popcorn shaped nugs that are spattered with dark orange hairs and a fine layer of white sugary trichomes. The aroma is skunky and a mix of earthiness, sweetness, and herbs, while the flavor is often described as a combination of earthiness, skunk, pine, and sweetness. Superman OG has established itself as a potent nighttime strain that appeals to both recreational users and medical cannabis patients seeking relief from various conditions. Its robust kush lineage and well-balanced effects have made it a favorite among indica enthusiasts, though its pungent aroma and strong effects make it better suited for experienced users rather than novices.

Growing Information
Superman OG has a flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks, with harvesting occurring between early September and mid-October. Outdoor growers can expect approximately 16 ounces per plant, while indoor setups yield between 12 to 16 ounces per square meter. The strain flourishes in temperate climates and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. When grown outdoors, plants reach a height of 4 to 6 feet, while indoor specimens maintain a more compact stature of 3 to 4 feet. This plant can handle cold temperatures and strong winds, and the heavy buds won't snap off the plant. However, the plant has a compact structure that traps moisture in its crevices, which can grow mold and mildew without proper aeration, requiring a comprehensive ventilation system. The strain is considered moderately challenging to grow and is better suited for intermediate to experienced cultivators.
