What is White Walker OG Strain?
White Walker OG is an Indica-dominant hybrid strain that was developed by Gold Coast Collection. It is an Indica version of SFV OG Kush, coming in with a ratio of 70-30. With a THC range of 19-33% White Walker can be pretty potent if you get the right stuff. Sometimes it’s confused with White Walker Kush, but, make no mistake, White Walker Kush has a very different taste and smell: coffee and skunk. It is also a Sativa strain, the line between this strain and White Walker OG growing even thicker.
Originating from Los Angeles, White Walker OG has made its rounds in the competition scene. It has an impressive track record having won 3 accolades: 1st place as the Best Indica Flower in the 2013 and 2015 High Times Cannabis Cups. The first was in Amsterdam and the latter in Jamaica. Amsterdam is a particular honor to place because it is the destination where the Cannabis Cup started, the biggest event for stoners aside from 420. Adding to its glory, is its place as one of the High Times Top 10 Strains in 2014. There must be a reason it is everyone’s favorite. Here’s the lowdown on its profile for a better look.
Profile
Appearance
It is visibly beautiful. The cannabis plant carries bright green, spade-like leaves, carrying vibrant light green flowers. Its hairs are amber like the shining Cannabis Cup that got its name out there. The nuggets that you can hold in your hand are shaped like little golf balls, sparkling in diamond-like trichomes. A thick coating of resin envelopes it, lush and heavy.
Aroma and Flavor
Now, what truly made White Walker OG a winner? One piece to the puzzle is the bursts of flavors that harmoniously create a soothing smoke. This is created by the lemon and diesel scents ending with a lingering taste of kush on the exhale. Its herbal but sweet undertones just hit the right spot, complementing the citrus taste. Pine and sage elements calm you with each breath.
White Walker OG’s terpene profile explains all of this. Limonene is responsible for the citrus and lemon flavors, also appropriate for aiding those with anxiety and stress. The nug’s other terpenes include myrcene for the herbs and caryophyllene, which some people won’t notice is the pepper spice with the kush.
Experience
This is the part everyone’s been waiting for, what kind of high does White Walker OG give that made it a two-time Cannabis Cup winner? Arguably it could be its heavy potency and mood=lifting beats that turn into a full-on sleeper hit.
Some stoners just like their Indica flower simple. They want a chill seat at the couch, relaxed and ready to fall asleep. Others prefer some energy before the crash. This is the feeling you can get with White Walker OG. It isn’t the typical sleep spell. At first, you can feel concentrated and hyped up, ready to get things done and do what you need to do. However, the Sativa-like rush is short-lived. White Walker OG is a heavy Indica after all. Before you know it, your uplifted relaxation will transform into pure calm as the body high starts. Although it does have some upbeat moments, White Walker OG will bring you to a crash really hard. Your couch-locked self can just spend the rest of the night chilling at home.
The side effects you might have if you take too much too fast are dry eyes, a dry mouth, and paranoia. Make sure to keep track of your intake, especially if you have anxiety.
Medicinal Effects
White Walker OG also doesn’t scrimp on the medicinal benefits. It helps treat a variety of conditions. The focus it gives can aid those with ADD/ADHD. Additionally, its way of boosting one’s mood can also treat medical marijuana patients with anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Patients suffering from chronic pain as well as those with arthritis, migraines, and muscle spasms can take comfort in its pain relieving effects. Lastly, insomniacs can rejoice with a good night’s sleep.
