Godfather OG

Very few historical weed strains have made it all the way to 2024, but those that have, really stand tall. We are talking about strains like Afghan Kush, Super Silver Haze, AK-47, and of course, the legendary Godfather OG. This Indica-dominant weed strain is a true representation of top-level classic cannabis breeding and genetics
.
With the almost ridiculous amount of info now available on the lineage of new-school weed strains, there's something almost mystical about strains like Godfather OG, that still have a hazy air of mystery and intrigue around them. What we do know is that 'The Don', as it is often affectionately referred to, was birthed in the heartland of cannabis brilliance that is Southern California, with many claiming it to be a cross of XXX OG and Alpha OG.

But, what are the factors that have made Godfather OG stand the test of time and remain one of the most sought-after strains in the global cannabis market?

• The Consistency - The late 80s/early 90s was a time of crazy experimentation and evolution of cannabis genetics, with breeders pushing the boundaries further than many thought possible. It was during this time that the foundation for Godfather OG was laid, and it has remained relatively unchanged ever since. Consistency is something that most classic strains have struggled with, but not Godfather OG. The OG buds of 2024 are a true homage to what our forestoners were smoking back in the day.
• The Potency - If you are a fan of high-THC strains, then Godfather OG is definitely one to add to your list. One of the first mass-market weed trains to tip the 20% THC mark, The Don has been known to reach up to 29%, but only when grown to absolute perfection. The terpene profile is also a thing of beauty, making for one of the most flavourful old school options still around.
• The Effects - Indica-dominant weed strains have a reputation for offering up heavy, body-focussed effects, and this status can be traced back to good old Godfather OG (and beyond). The slight Sativa percentage makes this not slightly more balanced than Afghani, but intensely relaxing nonetheless. This one is a fan favourite for medical weed strain patients also, offering up sedation, anxirty reduction, and pain relief.
• The Convenience - If you are looking for an easy-to-grow, easy-to-dry, and easy-to-smoke weed strain, the Godfather OG should be at the tippy top of your list. Doing well in a range of climatic conditions isn't something we can say about most old-school strains, so this is definitely a plus for those looking to add it to their garden, indoors or out.
