Deadhead OG

Deadhead OG: Grateful Deadhead

Deadhead OG seeds grow into plants that are unlike any others you have seen before. The plants tend to grow between medium and tall and feature long and lanky limbs. The plant is naturally dark, with dark leaves and buds sprouting out of thick stems. The leaves face downward and are pointy, while the buds sit atop the stem, trying to soak up as much sunlight as possible. A closer look at the buds reveals that they are covered in crystal resin trichomes as well as bright orange and amber pistils or hairs. When harvested, the buds turn into bright green nuggets with those same orange hairs throughout. Breaking these nuggets apart releases quite the aroma. The same aroma that draws users in fills the air almost immediately during harvest. The Cali Connection favorite won second place at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2011, cementing its legacy as one of the world’s best cannabis strains. This kind of win can really boost a strain’s popularity overnight.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Deadhead OG cannabis is a grower’s gem, known for its ease of cultivation and high-yield potential. This Sativa-dominant hybrid thrives in various settings and conditions. Growing Deadhead OG marijuana varies slightly between indoor and outdoor settings. Indoors, it’s a hardy plant suited even for beginners, reaching medium height and sporting large, resinous buds. Outdoors, Deadhead OG cannabis adapts well. Although outdoor cultivation can be more challenging, the rewards are potent.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Deadhead OG cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit. During the vegetative phase, maintain a light cycle of 18-20 hours of light per day to promote healthy growth. Switching to a 12/12 light cycle will induce the flowering phase and help you reach harvest.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels should be kept around 40-60% during the vegetative stage and maintained at around 40-50% during the flowering stage of growth. Lowering the humidity will help keep mold and mildew off of your plants.
• Training Techniques: Low-stress training (LST) and topping methods can really help with the success of this particular strain. These methods, ultimately, increase yields and protect the plants from overgrowth and a loss in THC content.

Dominant Terpenes in Deadhead OG: Potent and Popular

The Deadhead OG terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene and limonene are secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Known for its spicy and peppery flavor, this terpene adds depth and an earthy feel to cannabis strains.
• Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – The “Mother of all Terpenes” produces an earthy and woodsy scent and flavor.
• Limonene: Citrusy – Found commonly in the rind of citrus fruits, this terpene, when found in cannabis, improves lung function and helps with anxiety.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Deadhead OG:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Deadhead OG seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That happy, relaxed, and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying the Deadhead OG strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 25%, the THC in this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the happy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Deadhead OG cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Deadhead OG are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Deadhead OG strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
