Samsquanch OG was a project created and now crafted into automatic format to keep on our journey of continually trying to refine what we deem is our take on the ultimate autoflowering version of the legendary OG kush.
The seeds were sourced directly from Loompa of Loompafarms when we met at Spannabis in 2015, I think perhaps he was a little sceptical about autos, especially being chatted at by two stoned lads at a fair, however we said at the time, give us a few years and we'll have something nice to show, and here we are today!
This is essentially an auto outcrossed 3 times to plants of OG kush heritage, the first was our auto triangle kush (Triangle OGK cut x an old stock breeding auto) at f4 this was crossed to Bear OG from Karma genetics, that was bred to F4 to be fully auto and named 3 bears OG, then the 3 Bears OG (Bear OG x Auto Triangle) was crossed to Loompa's yeti and inbred again until fully auto.
In brief the resulting strain Samsquanch OG, is a dank, productive strain, high in quality that is an explosion of taste and flavour. We'd never blow our own trumpets, but we're humbly very satisfied with the outcome.
Samsquanch is a vigorous strain, that produces very well in the correct environment. She branches very well indeed making multiple colas that are stacked with flowers.
Flowers grow compactly but your bush will be positively loaded with them. If allowed space she will grow tall and wide, we'd classify her as the large side of medium to the small side of large.
She is adaptable and lends well to training and would definitely benefit from canopy maintenance and clearing out any inner or lower flowering sites that won't receive much light.
With the extra size development she does take in the region of 70-75 days from sprout to complete her cycle, the results however are well worth the extra days wait.
To us personally we consider her one of the tastiest available, especially if you're into your OG funk.

Strain FAQ
Why are these strains stinky?
The skunk-like aroma originates from myrcene's earthy and musky overtones and humulene's earthy and woody undertones. Thiols, sulfur-containing chemicals, also contribute to the skunk smell.
How does OG Kush's genetic diversity show?
The vast genetic tapestry of OG Kush produces a variety of phenotypes with distinct features. This diversity shows OG Kush's genetic plasticity, since strains can vary in flavour, taste, and experience.
What makes short cannabis strains popular?
Short strains, usually around 80cm, are said to be ideal for small spaces due to their compact growth. Indica or autoflowering genetics contribute to their modest size and unique growing properties.
Are strains suitable for greenhouses more sustainable?
Strains that absorb sunlight in a greenhouse can reduce the need for artificial lights and climate control, saving the world and the legal producer money. This emphasis on natural light makes the operation more eco-friendly and is said to promote healthy plant growth.

How does autoflowering relate to feminised seeds?
Many auto-flowering cultivars are feminised, combining the advantages of both. Auto-flowering plants switch from vegetative to flowering without light adjustments. This, together with the feminised guarantee of female plants, makes things easier and more predictable!
