THC Content

Face Off OG is widely considered to be an indica leaning hybrid because of its heavy indica style effects, though it is not an uncommon opinion to view it as a balanced hybrid as well since it admittedly is well rounded overall. It averages around 20% THC potency, and common perception is that two heavy indicas were crossbred to culminate in Face Off OG. While its exact parental heritage is unknown, it is believed to be an indirect derivative of the OG Kush, or at least a descendant of one of OG Kush’s phenotypes. Even OG Kush, a slightly sativa leaning hybrid, is itself a mystery with unconfirmed parents, though one of its suspected parent breeds is the legendary Hindu Kush landrace! 

Appearance & Aroma

The nuggets of Face Off OG are a brighter green, sort of like lime. They are tightly packed buds, showing a structure which hints at its indica genetics. Its pistils are a fiery orange that might appear reddish in some batches. They are finished with crystal trichomes that give it a bit of a glimmer. In terms of its terpene profile, there isn’t anything particular distinguishable, but any lovers of cannabis will be able to enjoy its classic blend of typical weed notes: from fresh herbs, rich earthiness to hashy spices. When smoking and exhaling, there are also hints of a sweet citrus on top of those classic aromas!
