In the world of OGs, most strains are variations on a theme. Triple OG is the entire symphony played at maximum volume.
Bred by the award-winning Exotic Genetix, Triple OG was created to be the "End Boss" of the Indica category. It isn't just a cross of random OGs; it is a calculated triangulation of three of the most potent cuts in cannabis history. It combines the Florida-born gas of the Triangle Kush, the obscure potency of Constantine, and the heavy sedative weight of Master Yoda.
The result is a strain that has become a legendary breeding tool (fathering hits like Donkey Butter) and a patient favorite for its ability to simply delete pain. It is widely regarded as one of the heaviest, most narcotic OGs ever released.
History and Lineage: The Three Kings
The name "Triple OG" refers to the three distinct lineages that crashed together to create this monster.
The Foundation (Triangle Kush): The mother of all modern OGs. Originating in the Florida swamps, the Triangle provides the sharp, piercing "Gas" smell and the initial cerebral rush.
The Power (Constantine): A lesser-known but devastatingly strong strain. Constantine is an OG Kush x Chemdawg cross that adds raw THC percentage and a chemical, industrial funk to the profile.
The Anchor (Master Yoda): A cross of OG Kush and Master Kush. This strain won the High Times Cannabis Cup for a reason—it is a pure sedative. It provides the "Triple" with its heavy, tranquilizing body stone.
The Legacy: By stacking these three giants, Exotic Genetix created a plant that captures the best traits of the OG family: the lemon-fuel aroma, the high resin production, and the unparalleled ability to put you to sleep.
Terpene Profile: Lemon Fuel and Damp Earth
Triple OG smells like a classic OG, but louder and darker. It lacks the sweetness of modern hybrids, leaning entirely into the "Gas and Funk" spectrum.
Dominant Terpenes
Myrcene (The Sedative): The levels of Myrcene are incredibly high, likely inherited from the Master Yoda/Master Kush lineage. This is responsible for the "couch-lock" and the earthy, musky undertones.
Limonene (The Solvent): It provides the sharp, nose-stinging scent of industrial lemon cleaner. It cuts through the heaviness of the Myrcene.
Caryophyllene (The Diesel): The fuel. It adds a peppery, spicy kick that lingers on the tongue and provides anti-inflammatory benefits.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: It punches the nose with jet fuel, pine-sol, and wet soil. There is a distinct "sour" note that warns you of its potency.
The Smoke: Thick and expansive. It tastes of sour lemon, earthy hash, and black pepper. It is a savory, heavy smoke that coats the mouth with oil.
Strain Effects: The System Shutdown
Triple OG is often described as "Narcotic." It is not a strain for doing chores.
The Experience
The Headband: It starts with a classic OG squeeze behind the eyes and around the temples.
The Silence: The most distinct effect is mental quiet. Racing thoughts, anxiety, and stress simply vanish. The brain slows down.
The Gravity: The body high is profound. It feels like gravity has been turned up. Your limbs feel heavy, and the desire to move evaporates.
The Sleep: Unless you have a massive tolerance, this strain will eventually put you to sleep. It is a one-way ticket to the pillow.
Best For: Treating severe insomnia, recovering from surgery or injury, deep meditation, and lazy rainy weekends.
Medical Benefits
Triple OG is a "clinical strength" strain. It is frequently recommended for patients who have built up a tolerance to standard pain medication.
Chronic Pain: The combination of Master Kush and Chemdawg genetics creates a body-numbing effect that is highly effective for arthritis, nerve pain, and back issues.
Severe Anxiety & PTSD: It acts as a mental brake pedal. It stops the cycle of panic and overthinking.
Chemotherapy Side Effects: It is excellent for combatting nausea and stimulating a ferocious appetite.
Insomnia: It is one of the most reliable sleep aids in the Exotic Genetix catalog.
Growing Triple OG: The Resinous Tower
Growers appreciate Triple OG because it brings the quality of a finicky OG without some of the growing headaches.
Growth Structure
The Vigor: Thanks to the hybrid vigor of the three parents, it grows stronger and faster than a pure Triangle Kush. It has thick stems that can support the weight of the buds.
The Stretch: It will stretch in flower, but it is manageable. It responds very well to topping and "SCROG" (Screen of Green) training.
The Frost: The buds are lime green and covered in a "greasy" layer of trichomes. It is not a dry, sandy frost; it is sticky and oily.
Flowering Time: 9 to 10 weeks.
Grower’s Tip: This strain is a heavy feeder. It loves Calcium and Magnesium. Because of the dense bud structure, ensure humidity stays low (40-50%) in late flower to prevent bud rot.
Final Verdict: The Trident of Power
Triple OG is not a beginner's strain. It is a high-octane sedative designed for the veteran smoker who feels like "nothing gets me high anymore." It combines the history of the Triangle, the power of Constantine, and the weight of Master Yoda into a single, devastating package. If you are looking for the genetic backbone that gave Donkey Butter its kick, or if you just need to sleep for 12 hours straight, Triple OG is the answer.
You should choose Triple OG if:
You are a "Gas" lover who wants pure Fuel and Earth flavors.
You suffer from severe chronic pain or insomnia.
You have a high tolerance and need 25%+ THC.
You want to grow the father of the modern Exotic Genetix lineup.
Score: 9.4/10 (The Trident of Power)
