SFV OG Fast Finishing Seeds

SFV OG Strain: Type, Aroma and Flavor

SFV OG Fast Finishing is a feminized photoperiod and a sativa-leaning hybrid (about 60% sativa), and its growth is clearly sativa. It’s about as OG as it gets if you know the California scene: a piece of San Fernando Valley history. It has one of the most distinct, aggressive aromas in cannabis; it doesn’t just smell, it stings the nostrils with a “lemon furniture polish and gasoline” funk, plus pine forest and industrial cleaner. The flavor is an aggressive lemon-earth kick that coats your mouth. The terpenes behind it are myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene. The buds are tight with large calyxes and coated in bulbous trichomes; the plant stays dark green, with some purple creeping into the buds.

How to Grow SFV OG Photoperiod Seeds in a Pot for Pot Kit

Plant one seed in our organic super soil and just add water. These rugged genetics put the classic OG structure and gassy profile on a faster schedule. Unlike an autoflower, you stay the captain during the vegetative stage, so you can train this lanky plant into a big one before it flowers. It’s a different beast from squat cookie strains like Gelato 41: it loves to stretch, and grows vigorously and vertically. Start on 18 hours of light and 6 of dark to build roots, and switch to 12/12 well before your tent is full, because it can easily double in size after the flip. It grows vine-like, with long gaps between nodes, so a trellis net (or two) is a must; a “screen of green” spreads the light and holds up branches heavy with golf-ball buds that would otherwise snap.

SFV OG Flowering Time and Plant Size

Fast-finishing strains start flowering when the sun hits about 14 hours of light and 10 of dark, much earlier than standard photoperiods. Outdoors, that means a harvest in late August or early September, while neighbors are still waiting on “Croptober”. Keep your loupe handy from late August; harvest when the trichomes are milky and cloudy, before too many turn amber (how to harvest cannabis). Expect a tall, lanky plant with a big stretch once it flowers.

Growing SFV OG Indoors vs Outdoors

Outdoors: it’s at home in California’s intense sun and dry heat (growing in California), where it grows with real vigor. Elsewhere, OGs usually struggle because they finish too late (see our OG Kush review and grow tips); this one finishes weeks ahead, so it works in zones with shorter summers and puts its energy into swelling buds while the sun is still high, instead of fighting freezing late-October rain. Its open OG bud structure lets air through better than dense cookie crosses, and the early harvest beats the worst bud-rot season. It’s in our Cold, Warm and Hot zone collections; find your zone on the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map.

Indoors: it’s loud: industrial cleaner, pine forest and diesel. Use a heavy-duty carbon filter, and keep humidity lower (around 40%) in late flower to keep the trichomes sticky. Opening a jar announces itself to everyone nearby.
