About Marshmallow OG
Marshmallow OG was created by Compound Genetics by crossing Jet Fuel Gelato (the mother) with a Chemdawg x Triangle Kush pollen donor. The strain's name comes from its unmistakable marshmallow-like aroma — a sweet, creamy blend of butter and vanilla with subtle pepper and earth undertones. The buds are dense and tight with a classic OG Kush structure, dark green with orange hairs and a heavy trichome coat. Effects are perfectly balanced: a smooth, gradual onset of euphoric uplift that transitions into deep physical relaxation without sedation. Marshmallow OG became Leaflink's Best-Selling Flower in California in 2019 and won multiple High Times Cannabis Cups.
