This week we are taking a look at the Yeti OG strain (originally known as Headband BX) bred by Loompa Farms.
This phenotype of the Yeti OG strain was found and selected by Resin Heads Genetics in the UK. It is one of two selected phenotypes entered into various cannabis cups in the UK and on mainland Europe.
Yeti OG Strain Summary
Venture into the frosty peaks of cannabis excellence with Yeti OG, an Indica-dominant marvel bred by NorCal Collective. Known also by its monikers Yeti OG, Yetti OG, or Headband BX, this strain is a confluence of high THC levels, averaging between 17.92% to 19.92%, and a CBD potency ranging from 2.28% to 2.86%, making it a formidable choice for seasoned aficionados seeking balanced effects without complete sedation. Its cannabinoid profile is enriched by CBG levels up to 0.92%, enhancing its therapeutic potential.
Characterised by a dominant terpene of Limonene, Yeti OG unfolds a tapestry of berry and earthy flavours, reminiscent of its genetic kin, Wedding Cake and White Runtz strains, but with a unique twist of creamy undertones and a grassy aroma. The smoke is gentle, offering a pleasant experience without overwhelming the lungs.
The experience of Yeti OG is akin to a serene trek through tranquil, snowy landscapes, bestowing a sleepy yet euphoric state that gently cradles the user into relaxation. Its sedative prowess is particularly effective against insomnia, chronic pain, and bodily discomforts, making it a cherished strain in the medicinal cannabis community.
Despite its formidable effects and flavours, Yeti OG is an accommodating grow, thriving in warm climates with a flowering time of 56 to 63 days. However, cultivators should note its moderate yield, which may require patience and care to achieve optimal results.

One phenotype of Resin Heads Genetics Yeti OG remains and it is known as the “Mojito Pheno” due to presence of minty taste along with the familiar lime-citrus terps.
Genetics: Chemdawg x (MassSuperSkunk x SensiNL) according to Seedfinder
OG Kush x Sour Diesel according to Leafly.
(I would say it looks, tastes and hits more like what Seedfinder says it is than Leafly)
Appearance
The bud structure is distinct – the plant flowers in 10 weeks and grows in a similar fashion to your typical OG with viney woody stalks.
There are several colours visible – various shades of greens and yellows – this was flushed for 21 days and grown in coco.
Smell
The smell consists of fresh pine, jet fuel/diesel and lime/citrus with a peppermint kick. If it were a cocktail it would definitely be a mojito.
Nice levels of smell in the jar – made more apparent when breaking the bud open. The gassy aroma hits the nostrils in a way similar to stardawg but less earthy.
Taste
Interestingly the smoke from Yeti OG feels cool during both inhale and exhale due to the minty nature of this particular pheno. Think cool mint, brushing your teeth or even chewing gum. That coolness you get when breathing with something minty in your mouth is there when you smoke this pheno.
The citrus lime can be tasted also, particularly in the vapor – I vaped this in my Ghost MV1 and smoked it through the ROOR Little Sista bong, both delivering a good representation of the strain in all its glory.
Vaping was my preferred consumption method, as I got more nuances in the flavour and the mentholy minty coolness made it so different from the many other strains I’ve been vaping recently.
Effects
During the video I guessed this was around 17-22% and I was correct – it has 20% THC and 3% CBD apparently. This is a good level of cannabinoids for an afternoon/evening/weekend strain and the indica dominant Yeti OG lives up to that.
I felt relaxed in both body and mind, with the effects leaving me wanting to sit down after 5 or so minutes.
With afghan landrace in the heritage you can expect the physical warmth in the body that some indicas deliver, and this is a nice (but strange) contrast to the cool nature of the taste!
Conclusion
Yeti OG delivers a cocktail-flavoured package of cannabinoid goodness and is well worth a try. Pair with after eights (or similar) for maximum delight.
