What are the parent strains of OG Shark?

OG Shark is a cross between OG Kush and Great White Shark. Great White Shark is itself a hybrid of White Widow and Super Skunk, making OG Shark a powerful California-Dutch lineage that blends OG Kush's terpene complexity with Great White Shark's legendary resin production and yield.

How strong is OG Shark?

OG Shark tests between 20–25% THC with minimal CBD (around 0.1%). It is considered a high-potency indica-dominant hybrid best suited for experienced consumers. Novice users should start with a very small dose given its strong sedative and euphoric effects.

What does OG Shark smell and taste like?

OG Shark has a classic OG Kush aroma profile dominated by earthy pine, lemon zest, and a sharp fuel or diesel undertone. The Great White Shark genetics add a subtle skunky sweetness. The dominant terpenes — Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene — create a complex, pungent nose with a smooth, spicy citrus finish on the exhale.

How long does OG Shark take to flower?

OG Shark has a flowering time of 8–9 weeks indoors. Outdoors, it is typically ready for harvest in late September to early October. The strain produces dense, resin-coated buds with moderate-to-high yields, a trait inherited from its Great White Shark parent, a 1997 Cannabis Cup winner from Serious Seeds.
