OG Triploid is an indica/sativa hybrid strain bred by crossing OG-IBL4N, GMOS2 and Old Growth OG. Triploid strains are not Genetically Modified Organisms – please read the explanation at the foot of this strain description.

This is a Triploid XXL version of OG that is now much-rejuvenated. Suitable for cultivation in all growing environments, OG Triploid has a faster finishing time that is reduced to 48 – 55 days indoors. Outdoors in the northern hemisphere harvest will be in the final week of September. Yields are very good  and represent an improvement over the normal diploid version. The buds and leaves are very frosty and are a light green and/or purple colour.

The terpene profile is earthy, pine and citrus. Total cannabinoid production is between 27 – 32% with THC levels at 25 – 30%. The effect is highly potent, euphoric and relaxing. Therapeutically recommended for anxiety, pain and stress.

What is Triploid Cannabis?

_x000D_

Cannabis naturally exists in nature as a diploid with two chromosomes. Through intentional breeding and a process of selection Humboldt Seed Co.  has harnessed a rare phenomenon by creating tetraploid plants using a natural chemical (colchicine) derived from the bulb of the autumn crocus (colchicum autumnale). These tetraploid plants are then crossed with diploid plants, resulting in progeny bearing three chromosomes, known as triploid seeds. These improved cannabis seeds result in enhanced genetic vigour and hitherto unprecedented possibilities. Triploids are, however, 99% infertile and therefore not suitable for breeding purposes.

This groundbreaking technique draws inspiration from a natural proven method found throughout modern agriculture and is non-GMO.

In your kitchen fruit basket, you can find examples of polyploids, such as seedless watermelon, grapes, bananas, and citrus fruits.
