History & Genetics

Platinum OG wears its luxury on its sleeve. It sounds like an incredibly rare stone and powers through the user’s brain with a potent, glittering effect. The strain swings indica (75/25) and focuses on the physical realm when it comes to the high. THC levels for Platinum OG range from 20% to 24%. It also retains 1% CBD and 1% CBN.

There’s no cerebral energy here – this is a full-on body buzz that can cure a migraine, improve your sleep, and make you deliriously happy. This popular West Coast strain has a unique taste to back up its mid-high THC levels.

Platinum OG is known as a heavy hitter, bred by Mendocino Farms to be just that. They combined Master Kush and OG Kush into a strain that’s anything but delicate. Some researchers suspect that there’s some Mendocino Purps in there as well.

Appearance, Aroma, & Flavor

The strain has the distinct taste of pine nuts, as well as overtones of diesel, the smell of spice, and even a taste of coffee. The combination produces herbal, earthy sensations – none of the froufrou fruity flavors of some of these other strains.

Effects

People who use this strain experience a lift from their anxiety. Their migraine headaches dissipate. Their mood swings settle down, including ADHD. Their insomnia becomes less pronounced. Additionally, the physical effects of Platinum OG allow your body to reduce inflammation and even loosen muscle spasms. Users also report dry eyes and mouth.

The effect is not only euphoric and sleep-inducingly peaceful but also immobilizing. You’ll have no choice but to sink into your couch on Platinum OG and enjoy the overwhelming physical high.

The tingly chemical and diesel-fueled sensations leave West Coast cannabis connoisseurs hungry for more. Users in Colorado and Arizona have gotten in on the Platinum OG action as well. The cocktail of pungent, spicy herbs and piney exhale, with just a hint of wood and coffee, makes this one a go-to cure-all for mood and anxiety disorders.

Growing

Platinum OG grows best outside, particularly in sunny, warm climates, and flowers in 63 days, give or take. The strain’s hardiness makes it resistant to diseases, mold, and mildew, which makes it friendlier for novice growers, especially those in humid climates. The plant itself develops into a shade of light silver-platinum beneath a coat of resin and crystals, concealing purple tones and orange hairs.
