San Fernando Valley OG

San Fernando Valley OG is renowned and highly admired among connoisseurs for inheriting classic, old-school American genetics. As a new hybrid, it distinctly stands out in its lineage. Its appearance may not be immediately captivating; however, it serves as a reminder that one shouldn't judge a strain solely by its appearance. This variety effectively shatters that stereotype...

Genetics and Characteristics

San Fernando Valley OG, also known as SFV OG, is a feminized photoperiod indica-dominant (70/30) phenotype of OG Kush bred by Cali Connection in 2010. In its relatively short history, the strain has been repeatedly honored with numerous awards and trophies in indica categories.

Plants with a compact structure, massive central cola, numerous lateral branches and short internodes produce large, highly resinous pyramidal buds of a delicate olive-green color. Flowering lasts 8-10 weeks, culminating in a generous indoor yield of 400-450 g/m² (14-16 oz). When grown outdoors, harvest time arrives in mid-October and the reward for meticulous effort and patience is 500-550 g (18-19 oz) of fragrant flowers from a single plant. The basic cannabinoid profile is characterized by high THC of 17-21% and moderate CBD within 1%.

Flavor and Aroma

The organoleptic profile of SFV OG is known for its classic Kush notes, with a touch of spicy Afghan hash, wet earth, pine and ripe citrus, interwoven with exquisite and pungent fuel undertones on exhalation.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

The pure and refined sativa euphoria at the start of the high transitions smoothly into a feeling of deep physical relaxation and calm. Despite the high THC content, the effects of this strain are very gentle, making it an excellent choice for both daytime use with moderate physical activity and evening relaxation in good company or more quiet and unhurried pastimes.

The broad spectrum of terpenes in SFV OG contributes to remarkable therapeutic effects, easily alleviating inflammation, pain and muscle spasms, as well as addressing psychoemotional disorders. In addition, this hybrid is used in complementary therapy for neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, and even oncology.

Cultivation

San Fernando Valley OG thrives in a dry, sunny climate similar to its native California, but will readily adapt to cooler, moderately humid conditions. Indoors, ensure that humidity does not exceed 50% during the vegetative stage and varies between 35-45% during flowering. Monitor other parameters, establish a schedule for watering and feeding, and provide adequate air exchange and ventilation. Novice growers will find the strain much easier to grow in enriched soil, while experienced growers will achieve superior results in hydroponic systems. In both cases, it is equally important to constantly monitor pH and ppm (EC) levels. The lighting regime with full-spectrum LED lights is 18/6 during the vegetative phase (which lasts about 8 weeks), switching to 12/12 for the start of flowering.

When growing outdoors, plant the seedling in a textile grow bag that holds at least 25 liters (6.6 gallons) and has convenient handles. This way, you'll always be able to move the plant to a sheltered spot or under a tree canopy during heavy rains.
