High Octane OG

High Octane OG is flower named for a fuel-forward strain that Leafly calls an indica and AllBud a 50/50 hybrid of sativa and indica. Leafly describes a loud, pungent aroma, with sour lemon zest over diesel fuel.

Chemdawg, Lemon Thai and Hindu Kush

Leafly describes a Chemdawg x Lemon Thai x Hindu Kush lineage, although its genetics box lists only Chemdawg and Hindu Kush as parents, and it names Gas Station Sushi as a child strain. AllBud describes the same three-way cross and gives High Octane and High Octane Kush as other names. Our guide to classic indica strains lists six classics.

Loud, pungent and fuel-forward

Leafly says the aroma carries herbal kush notes underneath, and describes the taste as a strong blend of citrus, sour gas and earthy spice that stays on after each inhale. Its flavour tags are diesel, earthy and skunk.

AllBud describes a classic pungent sour lemon taste that ends in a heavy, spicy, herbal exhale, and a smell that is very dank and pungent, with spicy herbs and earth lifted by sour citrus. Its flavour tags are citrus, lemon, pine, sour and woody.

Popcorn-shaped, minty-green buds

Popcorn-shaped and minty green, the buds have dark undertones, a scattering of orange hairs and a heavy coat of chunky white trichomes, per AllBud.

THC at 26% and what people report

THC is 26% on Leafly’s header, and AllBud’s range is 19% to 26%. Leafly describes a euphoric mental lift that settles into heavy body relaxation, and its reviewers tag talkative, happy, euphoric and relaxed. AllBud describes a body that settles heavily while the mind gets a subtle, stimulating tingle and a happy mood, with effect tags of body high, relaxing, tingly and uplifting.

Beside Leafly’s 26%, the 10% THC mark in Health Canada‘s advice for a first 1 or 2 puffs of smoked or vaped cannabis is well below this strain’s range, and the full effect can lag behind by as much as 30 minutes.
