Fire OG is one of the most potent members of the OG Kush clan. It has a strong sedative effect that can knock out the most seasoned smokers with just a couple of hits.
Also known as Fire OG Kush, it is the offspring of two eminent strains – San Fernando Valley (SFV) OG Kush and OG Kush. The former is an Indica-dominant weed that MMJ patients use to relieve chronic pain without the risk of being couch-locked. Meanwhile, the ever-influential OG Kush is a famously versatile smoke that can elevate the mood, stimulate the mind, and induce a chilled-out state.
Together, they birthed an outstanding strain with a THC content of 18% to 24% – making it enormously popular for both recreational and therapeutic consumption. Although the effects vary depending on the dosage and the user’s tolerance, one thing is for sure: relaxation is inescapable. This is the ideal weed after a long, challenging day to get rid of mental and physical burdens. The Indica attributes will shower the mind and body with the peace that is badly needed in this stressful world.
Marijuana connoisseurs will easily recognize its pungent aroma punctuated with sweet herbs. The taste combines citrus and spice with the sharpness of wood extracts. The fragrance and flavor rouse a warm and fuzzy feeling that ushers in a deep and satisfying calm.
This strain is available as feminized or regular seeds. Growing it demands patience and a well-managed environment. Therefore, it is more suitable for gardeners with prior knowledge of propagating marijuana.

Fire OG was given this moniker because of the profusion of tiny red and orange hairs that makes it seem like the plant is on fire. As a matter of fact, these long, curly pistils paint vibrant orange streaks on the dense neon-green nugs. The plant also develops a heavy layer of trichomes, giving it the appearance of a frosty treat glistening under the lights.
Unfortunately, this strain is a demanding lady. It needs a lot of patience, and the environmental conditions should always be at the optimum levels. It is not advisable as a beginner strain for amateur cultivators, but if you have some experience growing and would like to challenge yourself, then, by all means, grow Fire OG for your personal consumption. Shower it with lots of love and attention, and it will reward with a moderate yield of incredibly potent buds.
Fire OG loves being in an ultra-supervised growing space where it knows that all its needs will be provided. As an Indica-dominant hybrid, it only grows to a height of 70 to 100 cm (2 to 3 feet), making it a suitable strain for the Sea of Green (SOG) method. You can place up to 9 plants in a one square meter area for maximum production. However, you should take care to give each plant plenty of space. If they are overcrowded, they have a higher chance of attracting moisture-related diseases.
Moreover, you must regularly prune your plants. By removing the non-essential leaves and stems, you are ensuring better air circulation, thus averting the growth of pathogens. An oscillating fan or two inside the grow room will also work wonders.
A consistently warm environment will also keep this Mary Jane happy. Carefully adjust the temperature and relative humidity (RH) levels as it goes through its different stages. You can place a digital hygrometer to get more accurate readings.
This strain’s flowering time is usually around 10 to 11 weeks – lengthier than most Indicas. This might seem like a long wait, but it is extremely important that you allow the buds to ripen fully for the highest quality. You will appreciate this later on when you dry and cure them. A well-cared-for crop will generate a yield of up to 400 grams (14 ounces) per square meter.
Growing Fire OG in an outdoor garden is also possible, but you have to make sure that the weather conditions are consistent. This strain requires a sunny and dry climate, so be prepared to protect it from unexpected showers. If all goes well, you can expect a slightly higher yield than indoors – around 425 grams (15 ounces) per plant. Harvest time is mid to late October. That gives you just enough time to collect and dry the buds before winter.
Regular seeds have a 50/50 chance of sprouting male and female plants. Male plants have pollen sacs that can be saved for breeding projects, but they should be identified and separated from the females as early as possible. Doing so will prevent accidental pollination that could end up producing more seeds than smokable buds.
If you wish to eliminate sexing and segregating from your routine, then choose feminized seeds instead. They are guaranteed to produce all-female plants.
