Godfather OG

Godfather OG: The Don of Indicas with Sky-High THC

If you are looking for a potent medical cannabis strain, then you need to grow some Godfather OG seeds. Crossed from XXX OG and Alpha OG, its OG roots are so strong that it is also known as “The Don of All OGs” or “The OG Godfather.” Plus, it is not surprising that this was the best Indica at the 2013 Los Angeles Cannabis Cup.

The taste kicks off with a lavish burst of creamy berry sweetness on the roof of your mouth. It then turns into a refined earthy to warm black pepper experience all over your tongue. The aftertaste is a delicate embrace of velvet fruitiness.

Strong Cerebral and Body Effect

Even vaporizing a pea-sized Godfather OG bud gets you medicated right away. The initial high is a powerful buzz rushing through your head and into your body. It then turns into a focused and sedating high where all you want to do is listen to your favorite songs on repeat.

Body and Mind Relaxation

Peak effects settle in about 10 minutes. Everything in your head clears up as a peaceful mood sets in. You will find it hard to come out of your comfort zone apart from the time you hit the fridge for snacks. The high descends in a smooth comedown that leaves you happy and satisfied.

Therapeutic Use

This strain is beloved in medical cannabis circles for its rapid, effective, and long-lasting relief. It is primarily loved for its pain-numbing benefits besides a strong appetite boost. Godfather OG is also good for those fighting insomnia as it makes it easier for them to fall asleep.

Mastering Watering and Feeding for Godfather OG

This strain’s average growth difficulty comes from its sensitivity to watering and feeding. So how do you conquer these two for the best yields?

Avoiding Overwatering and Root Issues

Too much water leads to excess moisture buildup. Godfather OG’s aggressive root system needs enough space to breathe. With excessive moisture, insufficient aeration causes root rot and plant death.

A well-draining soil is the first plan to beat overwatering. In addition, you will need a growing pot with proper drainage pores. In addition, check your growing medium’s moisture content before watering.

Pressing a finger into the top layer of your growing medium is the best way of checking. It is time for watering if your finger comes out dry. Ensuring a wet-dry cycle encourages the roots to develop deeper which boosts its resilience.

Preventing Overfeeding

With a good organic nutrient plant and compost boost, this strain won’t need much nutrient addition. These natural amendments can produce natural nourishment for your plants without risking overfeeding. The key is ensuring that organic nutrition is steady and well-balanced for every stage of growth.

To prevent a build-up of nutrients in the growing medium, you can flush it. This is especially important mid-flower where you need to lower the nitrogen content to solely focus on phosphorus and potassium.

Recognizing and Fixing Nutrient Deficiencies

Different deficiencies manifest in different ways. Here is a list of the key nutrients and how you can tell their deficiencies.

1. Nitrogen deficiency causes pale or yellow leaves and stunted growth.
2. Phosphorus deficiency has dark green to purple-tinged leaves. In a dead plant, you can witness it in a weak root system.
3. Potassium deficiency shows browning edges that appear burnt over time. The tips of your Godfather OG leaves may also curl inwards.
4. Calcium deficiency manifests with a twisted new growth. You may also see brown spots on the leaves.
5. Magnesium deficiencies are easily noted with yellowing between the veins, especially those on lower leaves. Another sign is reddish to brown spots.

To avoid these deficiencies after applying a balanced nutrient program, ensure the pH of your growing medium is always between 6.0 and 7.0. Regular observation of the above signs will help you know early enough when the deficiencies set in and fix them.

Growing Characteristics

Godfather OG cannabis seeds have an easy germination process. You will need moderate expertise to get the best out of them. With a proper growing manual or horticultural experience, you can easily conquer its nutrient imbalance and watering sensitivities.

Plant Size & Structure

As an Indica-dominant hybrid, Godfather OG can do well in most indoor setups. With an average height of 150 cm, you can grow these plants indoors in relatively limited spaces.

Flowering Time

You should be aiming for a harvest period towards the end of September and early October when grown outdoors. Godfather OG typically flowers in about 8-10 weeks. To trigger faster flowering, change the lighting schedule to 12/12 during the pre-flowering stage.

Yield Potential

Godfather OG yields way above the average of many photoperiod strains. Outdoors, your harvest bounty can go as high as 700 grams per square meter. Indoors, the plants yield between 400 grams and 450 grams.

Origin And History

Godfather OG is heavily shrouded in mystery. It starts with the different accounts of its original creator. While some credit Big Dog Exotic Genetics, others give it to Alpha Medic Inc. The version from Alpha Medic Inc. is registered as the one that won the 2013 Best Indica award at the Cannabis Cup LA.

When it comes to parents, different sellers sell cultivars with varied lineages. Our version of this strain is said to have come from crossing two powerhouses in XXX OG and Alpha OG. The other popular version of Godfather OG comes from a trifecta cross between Grandaddy Purps, LA Confidential, and Bubba Kush.
