Dosing

The potency of 501st OG makes it unsuitable for beginners. Instead, 501st OG is best utilized by experienced users looking to improve their sleep quality.

The terpene levels in cannabis significantly affect the potency of the given strain and are variable depending on growth conditions. In addition to the fluctuation in its THC content, this causes the strength of 501st OG effects to vary between substrains. It’s best to be careful when trying the first dose of a new batch of this strain, even if you’ve consumed it before.

When growing 501st OG indoors, you can expect a stocky plant that responds well to training methods such as “sea of green,” where young plants are bent to grow horizontally. Using this method, plants do not often grow above 30 inches (76 cm).

When growing outside, untrained plants can grow up to 6 feet. For this reason, training methods such as topping or the “sea of green” method are recommended.
