aka Faceoff OG Kush

Like the film’s brilliant battle of wits and strategies, the strain stimulates the mind and allows its users to focus. But what happens once the heavy-hitting Indica effects take over? Suffice to say, the numbing sensation makes the face feel like its melting right off.

Equally interesting is Face Off OG’s backstory. The 90’s classic is said to be one of the few original cuts from the first batch of OG Kush phenotypes. Its seed form was sent to a select group of breeders. One of which is Archive Seeds who later decided to create cuts from a mature female, also known as the ‘motherplant,’ to preserve its genes.

Testing up to 20% THC, the bud is no doubt powerful. Its skull-crushing buzz can easily overwhelm even the most seasoned of users. In moderation, however, Face Off OG is great for mid to late afternoons or early evenings that require just a little bit of work done before capping the day off.

At the moment, Face Off OG is only available as a clone. As such, it requires the expert care and attention of a seasoned grower. They are a direct female ‘cut’ from the original ‘motherplant’ and do not need to be germinated. Instead, they are fed ‘pure water’ until their roots begin to grow. However, it requires previous successful experience as some beginners may overwater, overfeed their plants with nutrients, or accidentally expose them to too much heat or moisture.
