About Larry OG

Larry OG is a phenotype of OG Kush that was selected in San Francisco's cannabis scene by a grower known as Larry. The strain produces dense, medium-sized buds with a classic OG Kush structure — light green with orange hairs and a heavy coating of crystalline trichomes. The aroma is textbook OG Kush but with a distinct sweet, lemony, and piney character that sets it apart from other phenotypes. Notes of diesel, earth, and fuel form the base with a bright lemon-pine top note. The flavor is a smooth blend of lemon, pine, and diesel with an earthy finish. Effects are indica-dominant and powerful: a euphoric cerebral rush followed by deep physical relaxation that can be quite sedating at higher doses. Larry OG was used as a parent to create Purple Punch with Granddaddy Purple, cementing its place in breeding history.
