From the vaults of HSO’s broad genetic collection comes another classic GEIST-GROW breeding creation, the Sapphire OG. Comprised of an OG X OG/Afghan, this unique phenotype displays the unique landrace traits of HSO’s Old World Afghan fused into the timeless classic and uncirculated late 90’s OG Kush. This resulted in a potent and beautiful array of both color and complex aromas.
Fast growth in beginning stages results in fast transitions into the flowering period. Doubling in size, trellising is recommended to control the canopy as SCROG techniques are ideal to fill desired footprints and create even growth. Thin fan leaves make for ample light penetration allowing for strong secondary development.
Indoors, flowering induces rather quickly as sites build to be long dense crowning colas, high in resin count. Displaying an array of color during final stages. Sapphire finishes in just 57-63 days. Outdoors, harvests can be expected by the end of September to early October reaching heights of over 5+ meters contingent on the skill set of the grower. Production value is incredibly high as double trellising is recommended early to support large terminal sites in the last 4-6 weeks of development.
Complex aromas range from gassy, pine and chocolate overtones accompanied by citric and floral undertones. Effects are strong and cerebral followed by an equally strong body high. Great for end of the day use as well as appetite stimulation and pain relief. This classic creation continues to maintain the standard of quality from the one and only Humboldt Seed Organization.
Strain FAQ
How do cannabis breeders add chocolate flavour?
Cannabis breeders use genetics and environment to enhance chocolate flavours. They control the intensity and nuances of the chocolate taste by altering temperature and humidity and selectively breeding strains with appropriate terpene profiles, generating a unique chocolate explosion in each strain!
The impact of OG Kush on popular culture
OG Kush has become a cultural symbol in music, cinema, and TV. Its association with cannabis culture, especially in California, shows its impact beyond the norm.
Why are short-flowering strains recommended for indoors?
Small and fast-growing, short-flowering strains are popular for indoor use, particularly if there is limited space available. With faster cycles and better space utilisation, these strains are said to boost indoor production.
How long do indica-dominant strains flower compared to sativas?
The fastest flowering strains are indica-dominant, finishing in 45–60 days. This fast flowering phase helps legal growers get their plants to maturity quickly, reducing the time from seed to harvest.
How do feminized cannabis strains work?
A particular breeding method removes male chromosomes from feminised cannabis plants. Feminised seeds result in plants that are nearly always female (99%) and ready to produce THC and CBD-rich buds. It works like magic to give producers flower-producing plants!
