309 OG

The 309 OG cannabis strain is new, and little is known about it. Nature’s Grace and Wellness bred the indica-dominant hybrid strain with Grimace OG, and OG Kush strains to yield a distinctive hybrid. Its name comes from the local area code and its OG heritage. However, the OG family of cannabis strains are all related to OG Kush distantly. The “OG” abbreviation denotes an original or unique strain, referencing the term “original gangsta.” Although the strain hasn’t been around long, users have already taken note of its benefits for insomnia, stress, and pain.

309 OG is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-dominant and contains low levels of other cannabinoids like cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabidiol (CBD). Its parent strains have a high THC content of 23% (OG Kush) and 18% (Grimace OG) with little to no CBD or CBG.

Terpenes

Terpenes are compounds in a cannabis plant that give it distinct flavors and aromas. The 309 OG taste profile contains sage, grapefruit, and floral notes, each created by distinct terpenes. No one’s reported the exact terpenes found in 309 OG, but it’s likely to have similar terpenes to its parents, which are abundant in myrcene, linalool, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene.

  • Beta-Caryophyllene

  • Humulene

  • Limonene

  • Linalool

  • Myrcene

  • Pinene

  • Terpineol

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.

Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

Effects

309 OGs has been reported to have the following effects:

  • Calming
  • Focus
  • Relaxing
  • Sleepiness

The following adverse effects have also been reported:

  • Dry Eyes
  • Dry Mouth
  • Red Eyes
  • Thirst

Early reviews of 309 OG suggest that it might be best used in the late afternoon or evening as it makes people quite relaxed and tired. Other users, however, say that it helps them focus on tasks. Some people have also said that they found themselves getting paranoid or that their eyes felt dry, so it might be worth keeping that in mind.

Medical Applications

People use OG cannabis strains for myriad medical reasons, and 309 OG is no exception.

Inflammation

THC is a potent activator of the CB1 receptor, which has been shown to increase the production of an anti-inflammatory cytokine.

Organ Systems

  • Immune System
  • Other
Depression

Cannabinoids like CBD can help modulate serotonin transmission, giving it anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects.

Organ Systems

  • Brain & Nervous System
Anxiety, Panic Disorders

Cannabis contains many anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) compounds that can beat stress and reduce the production of the stress hormone cortisol.

Organ Systems

  • Brain & Nervous System
Nausea & Vomiting

THC and CBD are shown to have significant anti-emetic properties, meaning they can help prevent vomiting when used in the right doses.

Organ Systems

  • Digestive
Headache & Migraine

Cannabis’ ability to modulate serotonin transmission can help relieve the intensity and frequency of headaches in some cases.

Organ Systems

  • Brain & Nervous System
Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

Cannabis contains anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds that can help reduce or distract from pain, including THC, CBD, and beta-caryophyllene.

Organ Systems

  • Brain & Nervous System
  • Muscular
  • Skeletal
Insomnia

THC can stimulate the release of the sleep neurotransmitter adenosine.

Organ Systems

  • Mental / Emotional

Dosing

Cannabis dosing is an entirely individual experience with no standard model to follow. As a result, determining the proper dosage is a matter of trial and error.

Because of this, new users should always start with a low dose and wait to see how the strain will affect them before increasing the amount.

Growing

growing strains

Because 309 OG hasn’t been around long, little is known about its ideal growing environment. But if you get some seeds, growing 309 OG should be the same as growing many other cannabis plants.

Typically, cannabis can be grown inside or outside, and you can check out some specific tips for each environment. If you’re just starting, it’s good to learn cannabis growing essentials.

Height

Since the 309 OG strain is so new, its average height hasn’t been worked out. Most cannabis plants can grow anywhere between 1.5 to 34 feet tall. However, Grimace OG typically only grows to be less than 30 inches tall, and OG Kush only just tops that, growing to be 35 to 63 inches tall. Considering that these are the strains 309 OG was bred from, you can probably expect it to also be on the shorter end of the spectrum.

Humidity and Temperature

The ideal humidity depends on the stage of the plant’s life cycle. Seedlings tend to do best at a humidity of around 60%, while plants in the vegetative stage can manage anywhere between 50% and 70%. Then, when they start flowering, they need to be a little drier at 50% humidity to prevent them from rotting.

Flowering

Cannabis plants usually take about six to 14 weeks to start flowering. You can use the pistils’ color or trichomes to decide when they should be harvested. Some techniques can increase your harvest if the plant isn’t producing a satisfactory yield.
