True OG by Mavericks Genetics is a straightforward expression of OG Kush heritage, selected for dense, resin-coated buds and a classic citrus, pine and earth profile. The plant is 70% Indica / 30% Sativa and the breeder rates it at 27% THC (± 2%).
Its colas show an earthy green base with purple hints, reddish pistils and an amber dusting of trichomes as harvest approaches. It is the kind of old-school OG look that collectors recognize at a glance.
True OG finishes in 8-9 weeks of bloom, with up to 500 g/m² (1.64 oz/ft²) indoors and up to 600 g (21.2 oz) per plant outdoors. Outdoor plants in the Northern Hemisphere are typically ready in early October, and total terpenes reach 3.20%.
True OG Lineage: Pure OG Kush Roots
OG Kush is one of the foundations of modern California breeding, known for its lemon-pine nose, fuel undertones and thick resin. True OG stays close to that line instead of mixing in dessert or fruit genetics, which keeps the profile clean and recognizable.
Plants are Indica-dominant, medium in size and fairly easy to manage in a tent. Mavericks lists a 99% feminization rate.
Aroma, Flavor and Effect
The aroma starts with a bright citrus peel note, followed by fresh pine and a grounding earthy base. On the palate, the lemon and pine stay in front while the earth gives the smoke a rounder, deeper finish.
The effect builds gradually. A calm, settled mood comes first, then a heavier physical relaxation takes over and the pace of thought slows. It is a classic evening OG for unwinding after a long day, and at 27% THC it rewards a measured approach.
Fans of classic West Coast OG will recognize the profile immediately. It is not a candy or dessert strain, but a clean, resinous expression of the citrus-pine character that made OG Kush famous, and a slow cure brings the lemon forward even more.
Growing True OG Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, True OG appreciates topping and light LST to open the canopy, plus a trellis to keep its colas upright late in bloom. OG lines can be sensitive to overfeeding, so build nutrient strength gradually and watch leaf tips for signs of burn.
Outdoors, plant in full sun with free-draining soil. The early-October harvest window is an advantage in regions where autumn rains arrive by mid-month. Good spacing and selective defoliation help airflow around the dense flowers.
Both indoors and out, keep humidity low in the last weeks of bloom to protect the tight, resinous buds.
In the vegetative stage, True OG grows steadily rather than explosively, so give it enough time to fill the space before flipping to 12/12. Two to three weeks of vegetative growth after topping usually produces a well-filled canopy in a standard tent.
