Overview
Zeus OG is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by breeder Dankczar from A Greener Today through crossing Pineapple OG with Deadhead OG. This award-winning strain achieved first place in the 'Best Medical Hybrid' category at the 2014 High Times Washington Cannabis Cup, establishing its reputation as a premium medical cannabis variety. The strain combines the tropical, fruity characteristics of Pineapple OG with the potent, cerebral effects of Deadhead OG, resulting in a complex profile that delivers both physical relaxation and mental stimulation.
Zeus OG presents dense, spade-shaped buds with bright forest green coloration and purple undertones, accented by sparse orange pistils and covered in a thick coating of crystal trichomes that sparkle like stars. The strain exhibits a captivating aroma profile featuring earthy pine mixed with tropical fruit notes, particularly sweet pineapple and mango, complemented by spicy herbal earthiness. When consumed, Zeus OG delivers a complex flavor blend of pine, earth, and tropical fruitiness with woody and skunky undertones, finishing with sour pine and herbal tea notes on the exhale.
