Larry OG
Larry OG, also called Lemon Larry, is the OG Kush phenotype selected from a Lemon Skunk x OG Kush cross by California breeders in the late 2000s, with Cali Connection releasing the most widely circulated seed version. The strain anchors a citrus-leaning branch of the OG family and is the maternal side of Purple Punch, which puts it indirectly in the lineage of dozens of late-2010s dispensary releases. The flavor is sharp lemon-pine on the inhale with a fuel-earth exhale from the OG side, and plants finish in nine to ten weeks indoors with dense, lemon-tinted buds and a frosty trichome layer. The high opens balanced cerebral-physical and settles into a long body relaxation, making Larry OG a flexible mid-afternoon to early-evening strain.

Terpene profile
The aromatic compounds below shape how Larry OG smells, tastes, and ultimately feels in the body.
- dominant
Limonene
Uplifting citrus — typically associated with mood elevation and stress relief.
- secondary
Caryophyllene
Peppery and spicy — the only terpene that binds CB2 receptors, studied for anti-inflammatory action.
- secondary
Myrcene
Sedating, musky, herbal — commonly linked to couch-lock effects.

Pinene
Alert and pine-forward — associated with mental clarity and bronchodilation.

Feed schedule for Larry OG
These EC and NPK targets are starting points calibrated for the strain's Indica lean and moderate difficulty rating — not gospel. Drop 15-20% off any EC ceiling on your first run and let the plant tell you where it actually wants to feed.
Suggested feed schedule
- Late veg
- 1.4-1.6 EC
- Early flower
- 1.5-1.7 EC, NPK 2-3-4
- Mid flower
- 1.8-2.0 EC, NPK 1-4-6
- Late flower
- 1.6-1.8 EC
- Final week
- Plain pH-balanced water for the last 7-10 days; light flush if you ran nutrients on the higher end.

What to expect through the grow cycle
Larry OG is documented with a 10-week flower and a compact stretch typical of indica-leaning structure. The visual below maps a documented 14-week cycle built from 4weeks of vegetative growth and the strain's published flowering window.
Published grow reports for Larry OG concentrate the most observational notes on the late-flower ripening window. This timeline is descriptive — it reflects what reports document, not a how-to. Actual week-to-week behaviour varies with phenotype, light intensity, pot size, and environment.
Phase details
- Veg (weeks 1-4)
- The documented vegetative period for Larry OG. Plants establish root structure, leaf canopy, and node count before flower triggering, with a moderate difficulty rating shaping how forgiving the early canopy work tends to be.
- Stretch (weeks 5-8)
- Larry OG is documented as having moderate stretch. Reports describe the plant roughly doubling in height during this phase as the indica-leaning structure establishes its final flowering frame.
- Bud sites (weeks 9-10)
- Pre-flowers form at the nodes and calyxes begin to develop. Grow reports for Larry OGnote this as the window where the canopy's eventual bud distribution becomes visible.
- Bud development (weeks 11-12)
- Flowers thicken and calyxes fatten through this phase. Documented Larry OG runs show the bulk of visible flower mass accumulating here, with resin production accelerating toward the end.
- Ripening (week 13)
- Trichomes transition from clear toward cloudy and amber. Reports for Larry OG describe the Limonene-led terpene profile maturing through this window, with aroma sharpening week over week.
- Final (week 14)
- Calyx swelling is documented as complete and the harvest window opens. Published Larry OG runs end here, within the 9-10 week flowering range reported by the breeder.

Common questions about Larry OG
Is Larry OG the same as Lemon Larry?
Yes — Larry OG and Lemon Larry refer to the same strain. The 'Lemon' prefix highlights the dominant limonene terpene, which distinguishes it from heavier OG variants like Tahoe OG or SFV OG.
Is Larry OG actually the parent of Purple Punch?
Yes — Larry OG crossed with Granddaddy Purple produced Purple Punch. The Larry OG side contributes the citrus-forward terpene marker that runs through most Purple Punch phenotypes.
