Shadow OG

Shadow OG is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 20-26% on average, with 0.4% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Shadow OG high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. These combined effects make Shadow OG a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect skunk and chocolate up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a chocolate finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded bright neon green nugs, rust-colored hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, Shadow OG offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Shadow family — see Storm Shadow and Afghan Shadow for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
