OG Hell's Angels

The name of this hybrid is hardly a tribute to the infamous gang of Southern California bikers. In fact, the OG Hell’s Angels strain has no real connection to the famous outlaw club, except as an intriguing urban legend.

Genetics and Characteristics

OG Hell’s Angels, a feminized photoperiod indica-dominant hybrid, is the offspring of two outstanding genetics – Afghani and Kush. Breeders also incorporated legendary and classic strains of OG Kush and Blackberry. Once the target strain was stabilized, the predominance of indica was fixed at an 80/20 ratio, which is reflected in every trait of the plant.

Indoors, flowering takes only 8-9 weeks. Outdoors, if seedlings are transplanted in the spring, mature plants can be harvested in the second decade of September. The average height of the plant reaches about 1 m (3.3 ft) in the grow tent and up to 180 cm (71 inches) outdoors. Yields range from 350 g/m² (12 oz) indoors and up to 450 g (16 oz) per plant outdoors.

Flavor and Aroma

Starting with the flowering stage, the buds emit intense piney and earthy aromas. Once the flowers are dried and cured, the bouquet evolves into a distinct note of ripe tropical fruits with a citrusy touch. The palette of flavors in the smooth and heavy smoke is enhanced by the elegant spicy and hashy undertones typical of Kush genetics.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

This strain has a high THC content of 20% and low levels of other cannabinoids. However, the presence and interaction of these can be effectively used not only for the recreational use, but also for therapeutic purposes -- to combat insomnia, depression, stress, and anxiety. KADAMA experts recommend using this strain in the second half of the day to better enjoy its sedative properties. The effects start with a sativa-like stimulation, promoting alertness and creativity, but soon transition into an all-encompassing relaxation, both emotional and physical.

Cultivation

In the KADAMA collection, OG Hell’s Angels is one of the easiest strains to grow. It is a perfect choice for beginners who have decided to test their skills in cultivating indica genetics. Undemanding, consistent and hardy, this strain seems to have been designed for novice growers. The plant is forgiving of their common mistakes and carries the genetic memory of its ancestors grown in the foothills of mountainous Central Asia with its changeable weather.

Indoors, the strain responds well to training techniques that promote shaping of a squat and uniform canopy, resulting in increased bud formation. This approach is especially useful for growers with limited headroom. Don't forget to prune the lower levels to improve air circulation in the canopy and prevent the spread of pests and fungal diseases. Control the intense odor during the flowering stage indoors by installing a reliable ventilation system equipped with a heavy-duty carbon filter.

How long does it take for this strain to complete flowering?
