The Skywalker OG strain is a Cannabis Strain that packs a punch. Developed from a cross of Skywalker and OG Kush, the force is certainly strong in this one.
The smell hit me right out of the pot. I can imagine how strong this one smells during the flowering cycle! Imagine gassiness mixed with even more of an OG flavour and you’ve probably got a bit of an idea how the Skywalker OG Cannabis strain smells.
The taste is no different, with the gassiness hitting the back of my throat and staying there long after the exhale. I found that smoking this strain through a glass pipe enhanced the flavour even more, as shown in our video review.
The Skywalker OG Cannabis strain has anywhere between 18-30% THC, and there are around 4 phenotypes in circulation, some with more sativa features that may also go by the name of Sativa OG. The Skywalker OG we samples is likely an indica-dominant hybrid, judging from the enhanced levels of relaxation I felt after consumption that went further than a lof of other strains I have sampled recently.
The effects are quick-hitting and I felt a smile wash over my face as the pure relaxation set in. I would keep this strain for a PM / evening smoke if possible, due to the effects. Growing your own cannabis at home allows you to experiment with different strains, like Skywalker OG, and experience their unique effects firsthand. With the right environment and care, you can cultivate a range of phenotypes to match your personal preferences and create a tailored experience right from your own garden.
Overall I love this strain and see great potential medical benefits to both it’s strength and effects. As a fan of a lot of OG strains (I have yet to try a well-grown OG cross that I dislike) this certainly hit the spot!
