This strain brings together the iconic Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies with the robust Tahquitz OG, resulting in a vigorous, high-yielding plant with a potent and motivating effect.

Ever feel like your grow space isn't reaching its full potential, producing plants that are either too finicky or don't deliver the punch you're looking for? You invest time, energy, and hope, only to end up with a harvest that's just... okay. It's frustrating when your efforts don't translate into the dense, resin-coated buds and satisfyingly potent effects you know are possible. That gap between expectation and reality can seriously dampen your growing spirit.

XTC OG changes that equation entirely. This strain is engineered for performance, exhibiting the vigorous, bushy growth of an elite F1 hybrid. It's designed to fill your tent or garden with solid, chunky buds glazed in trichomes, all while offering a straightforward cultivation process that rewards your care with impressive results. It's the solution for growers who want reliability without sacrificing top-shelf quality.

Before Growing XTC OG

Preparing for XTC OG is about setting the stage for its vigorous growth. You'll need a well-aerated, nutrient-rich substrate and a plan to manage its bushy, expansive structure. Ensure your space can accommodate a plant that will become quite full and may benefit from support during flowering due to the weight of its buds.

• Choose a final pot size of 11–20 L (2.9–5.3 gal) to give the roots ample room.
• Set up your grow area with good airflow and ventilation to prevent humidity issues.
• Have low-stress training (LST) ties or a SCROG net ready to maximize light penetration and support branches.
• Prepare a balanced nutrient regimen suitable for a heavy-feeding hybrid during its growth phase.
• Ensure your lighting is powerful enough to penetrate the canopy and encourage dense bud development.
• Source a quality feminized seed like XTC OG to guarantee all-female plants.

During the XTC OG Grow Cycle

Once germinated, XTC OG will show its vigor quickly. Maintain a vegetative photoperiod of 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness to encourage strong branching. You can apply LST early to open up the canopy. As you switch to a 12/12 light schedule to induce flowering, watch for a significant stretch—this is when the plant builds its framework for those massive colas. During the 8-9 week flowering period, the buds will swell dramatically, becoming hard and dense, and will start to exude a complex aroma. Keep environmental humidity in check, especially in late flower, to protect the dense buds.

After Harvest: Results and Maintenance

Post-harvest, you'll be rewarded with a substantial yield of rock-hard, trichome-covered buds. The aroma is a complex mix of earthy OG Kush, sweet mint, and gas. A proper dry (10-14 days at 16-20°C / 60-68°F and 50-60% RH) followed by a 2-4 week cure in jars will refine the flavors and smooth the smoke. The plant material itself is robust, so cleaning your space is straightforward. The real maintenance is enjoying the fruits of your labor—a powerful, motivating high that's perfect for creative sessions or relaxing after a long day.

How to Grow XTC OG Feminized Seeds

Quick Overview: A vigorous, Indica-dominant feminized photoperiod from Elev8. Expect an 8-9 week flowering time and a plant that responds well to training for maximum yields.

• Germination & Early Veg: Start seeds in a moist paper towel at 22-25°C (71-77°F). Once the taproot appears, plant in a small pot with a light, airy pre-fertilized substrate to encourage strong root development.
• Vegetative Growth: Maintain 18/6 light cycle. This plant grows bushy; use Low-Stress Training (LST) early to open the canopy and improve light penetration to all bud sites.
• Transition to Flower: Switch lights to 12/12 to induce flowering. Expect a noticeable stretch. Ensure good airflow and reduce humidity gradually to 40-50% to prepare for dense bud formation.
• Flowering & Ripening: Flowering lasts 8-9 weeks. Buds will swell and harden. In the final weeks, consider a flush to cleanse the substrate of excess nutrients for a cleaner final taste.
• Harvest & Post-Harvest: Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber for a balanced effect. Dry slowly in a dark environment at 16-20°C (60-68°F) and 50-60% RH, then cure for optimal flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is XTC OG suitable for beginner growers?

While not the most difficult, XTC OG's vigor and feeding needs place it at a medium difficulty level. Beginners with a solid understanding of the basics and a willingness to learn simple training techniques can succeed.

How tall does XTC OG get indoors?

It's a vigorous, bushy plant that can become quite tall if left untopped. Using training methods like LST or SCROG is highly recommended to manage height and create an even canopy.

What kind of high does XTC OG produce?

It delivers a potent, motivating cerebral high that gradually melts into a deeply relaxing, stoney body effect. It's great for evening use or when you want to be active but deeply chilled.

How long does it take from seed to harvest?

As a photoperiod strain, the total time depends on your vegetative period. Typically, with a 4-6 week veg and the 8-9 week flower, you're looking at roughly 12-15 weeks total.

Can I grow XTC OG outdoors?

Yes, XTC OG can perform very well outdoors in a warm, sunny climate with a long growing season. It will grow larger and potentially yield more than an indoor grow if given the space.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

Let me tell you, XTC OG is a grower's strain. The first thing you notice is the raw vigor—it just wants to grow. I like to give it a head start in a root stimulator soak before planting into coco. During veg, I don't hold back on the LST; bending those strong branches early pays off with a monstrous, even canopy. When you flip to 12/12, stand back. The stretch is real, and it builds a solid framework for what's coming. Around week 5 of flower, the buds start stacking hard and the smell shifts from earthy to this complex sweet, minty gas that fills the room—a carbon filter is non-negotiable. I push nutrients hard until about week 7, then start the flush. The yield is honestly impressive for the timeframe; you get these rock-hard, frosty nugs that are a joy to trim. The smoke? It hits you with a clear-headed, creative buzz that's perfect for getting stuff done, but if you overdo it, that OG Kush body lock creeps in and you're planted on the couch. It's become a staple in my personal garden for its reliability and that classic, potent effect.
