Platinum OG

Platinum OG wears its luxury on its sleeve. It sounds like an incredibly rare stone and powers through the user’s brain with a potent, glittering effect. The strain swings Indica (75/25) and focuses on the physical realm when it comes to the high. There’s no cerebral energy here – this is a full-on body buzz that can cure a migraine, improve your sleep, and make you deliriously happy. This popular West Coast strain has a unique taste to back up its mid-high THC levels.

Platinum OG is known as a heavy hitter, bred by Mendocino Farms to be just that. They combined Master Kush and OG Kush into a strain that’s anything but delicate. Some researchers suspect that there’s some Mendocino Purps in there as well. Platinum OG grows best outside, particularly in sunny, warm climates, and flowers in 63 days, give or take. The strain’s hardiness makes it resistant to diseases, mold, and mildew, which makes it friendlier for novice growers, especially those in humid climates. The plant itself develops into a shade of light silver-platinum beneath a coat of resin and crystals, concealing purple tones and orange hairs.

The strain has the distinct taste of pine nuts, as well as overtones of diesel, the smell of spice, and even a taste of coffee. The combination produces herbal, earthy sensations – none of the froufrou fruity flavors of some of these other strains.
