About Godfather OG
Godfather OG was created by crossing Alpha OG with XXX OG. The strain gained its reputation through consistently extreme THC levels, often testing above 30% — making it one of the most potent strains commercially available. The buds are dense and dark green with purple accents and a heavy trichome coat. The aroma is classic OG: diesel fuel, pine, earth, and lemon with a pungent backend. Godfather OG effects are powerfully sedative — a heavy body stone that starts in the head and works its way down, often ending in deep sleep. The strain became a benchmark for potency and inspired the '30%+ THC' category that dominated marketing in the late 2010s.
