A fair bit of mystery surrounds the man himself, and the strain named after him doesn’t offer us any more clarity, really. Darth Vader OG, also known as Vader OG, comes from mysterious origins and doesn’t give users much in the way of information. She could be indica-dominant or evenly balanced, and parents may include Purple Kush, Skywalker OG, Afghani, or even Larry OG.

What is fairly clear about this strain is that its potency tops out at 25% THC, making it ideal for more experienced smokers. Buds are very dark in color, playing into her moniker, with violet and blue undertones and are topped off with tons of resin. A sweet and sour mix of grapes and earth blends nicely with spice, herbs, and pepper, making Darth Vader OG a strain for all preferences. Some are a bit offended by her aroma, but thankfully she tastes better than she smells.

Darth Vader OG is a strong strain, to say the least, so if you’re planning on indulging, make sure to completely clear the rest of your evening. Initially, users will enjoy a boost in mood with a joyous rush that hits your brain right away. This can include feelings of arousal, but don’t get too ahead of yourself just yet. Like a flat out assault, this bud will bring heavy sedation to you and practically paralyze you from head to toe. Some may be so tired that they don’t even have the energy to smile and instead will fall fast asleep.

Think back to the last time you were in pain and picture your perfect cure - did it include a total numbing of your mind or body? If so, Darth Vader OG will be your new best friend when it comes to medical ailments. Depression and stress are lifted instantly and physical issues end up getting covered in a blanket of relief. Those who deal with insomnia will only need a few tokes to ensure they have the best night of sleep they’ve achieved in a long time.

At best, experts can guess the type of conditions that Darth Vader OG would need to thrive at home, but no one even knows if seeds or clones are available. Theoretically, this plant probably requires ample sunshine and 8 weeks of flowering time. Yields are rumored to be fairly high, but whether anyone has actually cultivated this strain at home or not is a mystery.

Let’s face it - this strain will likely never cross your path, and like the evil character himself, that may be for the best. Darth Vader OG is incredibly intense and could even throw veteran users for a loop if they aren’t careful. If you do end up with a bit to smoke, pace yourself and don’t try to be a hero.
